Review of The Views Inn Sedona 2*

Review from: 12/29/2010 Pros: — good location (Big Park, AZ), closer to many hiking trails if you compare it to hotels in Sedona (about 8 miles from Sedona) — clean, new/ updated — across the street from a small shopping center and Red Rock Coffeehouse — many items to chose from at breakfast — big rooms with fridge, microwave, efficient and clean heaters — compared to hotels of the same caliber in Sedona, quite cheap Cons: — had a bit of a problem with room service (found strange hairs in freshly changed towels and 2 days out of 5 room service thought we didn't deserve shampoo and conditioner). It is true, the first day I didn't leave a tip since I usually leave a larger sum at the end of my rather long stay. The next day, seeing that I didn't get shampoo, I started leaving tips and the shampoo reappeared as by miracle. I would have left a larger tip if it weren't for this "now you see it, now you don't" game. — I would have preferred to keep my towels and reuse them but they do not offer this eco-conscious/money-saving option here. — one morning I asked if it was OK to take 2 food items to my room for my spouse and they said yes. The next day, a posting appeared in the breakfast area saying it is not allowed to take food to your room. I prefer people being direct and honest with me right off the bat. — very spotty to no Wi-Fi reception — if you come to this area for shopping and not for hiking/nature, Big Park is considered a "commuter-city" by some, therefore may prove not cool enough for the more urban/glamorous types ;-)
