You can't park your own car here. The valet is complementary though. They're quick and friendly. Tip them, they deserve it! The restaurant is amazing. I highly recommend the elote mac and cheese. The pillows in the room could use an upgrade. I wish I had packed my flat memory foam pillow from home.

Great location, peaceful, comfortable but bathrooms are small more designed for a single traveler. Need more hooks or shelves so I don’t have to live outside my suitcase.

Conveniently located in uptown Sedona and near shopping and dining options. Issue with this property is the walls are paper thin and this was one of the noisiest hotel experiences I have ever had. Hotel staff constantly pushing luggage carts down the hall, vacuuming, patrons walking and talking loudly in halls - literally at all hours. I wanted to like this property but the noise levels made it impossible to sleep and enjoy it.

Off the main tourist drag, in a world of quiet and beauty of its own. The staff is super nice and the room was comfortable. The bathroom wall was in poor shape but the shower worked very well. The public areas are lovely. Check out the water’s edge below the pool, the bubbling creek is great.

Stayed here many times but quality went down, check in was not very nice, they charge so many fees, refuse to do late checkout, just makes the place feel cheap and less like a resort. Once I add the upgrade late-checkout minibar prices I might as well stay at enchantment or auberge I bet they’ll treat me better.

According to Expedia, I paid a Courtyard View of Red Rocks. When I got to Amara, I was told I have only paid a "partial" view. I showed the Expedia booking to her and mentioned there was no "partial" on the Expedia language and the lady apologized but didn't give me the room I was expecting.

Overall my experience was great! Hotel staff were all very friendly and accomodating. The coffee maker did not brew the correct amount to coffee which meant I had to go down to the lobby each morning for coffee. Other than that everything was great.

If you stay here and you desire sleep and peace, don’t stay in 202 or any room on that side of the property, you will be next to an elevator, public women’s restroom, utility closet and your balcony will face the parking lot (valet) with people yelling and alarms sounding. Loud noises coming from HVAC all night. For over 500 a night , very disappointing..
