Activities/Attractions: Sedona is one of Arizona's premier tourism, recreation, resort, arts and cultural, and retirement centers. At an altitude of 4,500', Sedona escapes the desert heat of Southern Arizona and the mountain snows to the north with either just a short drive away.

Sedona's location at the mouth of renown Oak Creek Canyon and at the center of the state's legendary Red Rock Country affords breath-taking panoramas, four delightfully mild seasons, plenty of sunshine and clean, fresh air. Highway 89A through Oak Creek Canyon was Arizona's first designated Scenic Highway and was named by Rand-McNally as one of the most beautiful drives in America.

The area is the second most visited site in the state after the Grand Canyon. You will need at least 4 or 5 days and probably a week to see and do all of the wonderful activities the Sedona area has to offer. Please plan your stay accordingly.

"My wife and I stayed at the Southwest Inn last October. It was wonderful. I commend you and your team for an outstanding Inn. Special thanks to Bob and the desk staff. The breakfast was also outstanding. I have been fortunate to stay at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo as well as the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC. Both of these places are renowned for their service, and rightly so. But these large resorts were not better than the Southwest Inn. It is difficult to separate my appreciation for the Inn from my incredible experience at seeing Sedona for the first time, but I still believe there is something special at your Inn. It shows in the details: the room decor, the fruit salad, most of all in the attitudes of the people. This quality is one that must be cultivated from the top and I commend you. My thanks to you and your Staff. That trip was our 18th anniversary for my wife and I. It could not have been more special. Thank you. I eagerly await my next stay."

"We very much enjoyed our recent stay with you. We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and you made it very special for us. We were even greeted with our names on a welcome board in your lobby! What a great surprise! But then when we got to our room, there was yet another treat; a bottle of chilled sparkling cider and a card signed by your entire staff. What a great way to treat your customers! Everyone of the staff we met, was great and so helpful. The reservations for dinner and the recommendations for the restaurants were superb! Thanks again for the "royal" treatment. Hope to visit with you again on our next trip to the beautiful Sedona area!"

"Hello Folks ... As a transplanted Canadian, now living in Tennessee, who had no idea where to stay in Sedona for our February trip, I chose your inn because of the appearance of your internet site. Scary thing to do, but when we drove into your parking lot, the atmosphere almost took our breath away. What could have been a ruined four days, began, continued, and ended with such peace, cleanliness, professionalism and respect for the attitude of your people. Your inn is nothing less than "wonderful". We will be back to Sedona, and we will be staying at the Southwest Inn."

"Thank you for an enjoyable stay at the Southwest Inn at Sedona. I stayed at the hotel from June 15-20. I loved the decor of the room and the hospitality and friendliness of the staff. I was traveling alone and everyone was so helpful. It was my first time in Sedona and just a wonderful experience. I hope to make a return visit and would definitely stay with you again."

"We are in total awe! Everyone here is so wonderful, friendly, and helpful. Our room was so romantic. Thank you so much."

"We came to the west and were hoping to stay in a place that made us feel like we were in the west. This place was perfect. We were very happy. Thanks!"

"Mrs. MacNab and I were thoroughly delighted with our stay with you as part of our 50th anniversary trip. Your thoughtful greeting to us on the notice board as we checked in, the chilled bottle of sparkling cider in the warm, cozy and clean room and your ever-present smiles made us feel welcome. We enjoyed the convenience of the location among the many facets of Sedona, including the airport, where this retired pilot relived his early days in a WACO biplane, for most of one afternoon, seeing the red rocks from the air. Your recommendations for restaurants were excellent and we have suggested to friends that they include you on their trips to Sedona. Thank you, again, for your hospitality. We hope to see you again."

"Now that we are safely back in England I thought that I would drop you a line to say how much we enjoyed our stay at the Southwest Inn. We have both said that it was by far the best hotel that we stayed in, and by far the most comfortable beds of any that we used! (and that includes the big hotels in Las Vegas). I feel that I must give a special mention for Jamie the concierge, she is an asset to your hotel and deserves a pat on the back for her services, (just make sure that she is not eating or doing the crossword when you do it !) only joking. Once again, thank you, you helped make our honeymoon trip very memorable and we will most certainly recommend you to any friends that are visiting Sedona."

"I just wanted to thank you for a great couple of nights. The Inn was great, with the small touches to all the help we received. The desk was real helpful with the jeep tours. I also appreciated the help in calling the restaurant for my sweater. She went out of her way to call for us while we were out seeing the beautiful country there. My wife really love the touch with all your signature on the card and the whirlpool tub. Thanks again, looking forward to coming back and staying there. We are trying to talk my wife's parents into a trip there next year, they have never seen the area but always wanted to."

"Surroundings of extraordinary beauty and interest and a fine hotel. Especially friendly and knowledgeable staff."

"Thank you for making our first weekend together as man and wife very special. You made us feel welcomed. It was greatly appreciated."

"Thank you for making our stay at the Southwest Inn at Sedona such an enjoyable one. (We were in room 111.) As we mentioned, we frequently visit good friends who have a cabin in Oak Creek, so we don't often have much of a chance to stay in Sedona. But the next time we do, we'd like it to be at your place! And we will definitely recommend it to our friends. Overall impression of the hotel: 10 (loved the southwest decor/architecture, especially the fireplace) Front Desk Staff: 10 (including extra cups, ice, bottle opener!!) Cleanliness of Rooms: 10."

"We just wanted to say once again what a wonderful experience we had in Sedona, largely due to the staff and facilities at the Southwest Inn. Joyce and Jamie greeted us with a smile and that smile never waned the whole time we were there!!! Bob set us up with some tours that were really fun, Jamie followed up with restaurant and other recommendations that set us on the right track. We are now considering a part time residence there and have Jamie to thank for the real estate info. We'll be back!!!"

"Just returning to our everyday life and had to take the time to let you know what a marvelous time we had in Sedona. Your Southwest Inn is wonderful; Jamie is an amazing asset to your property. All our tour arrangements were handled by her prior to our arrival. Every restaurant she recommended was superb. Also, kudos to Bob. He was the concierge on duty the day of our arrival and made sure we had the right wine glasses for the wine my husband purchased while I was unpacking. Great Ventures was an excellent tour company (recommended by you) - we went on their Grand Canyon trip as well as the Colorado River float trip. I'm sure Jamie will remember the story of our hot air balloon trip for quite some time. You can be sure that if our travels bring us back to Sedona, the Southwest Inn will be the only place for us. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation."

"Everyone has been unbelievably accommodating from Ann who booked our room to Joyce who checked us in to Kirsten who took care of our horseback riding trip."

"Your hotel is so warm and friendly, a real pleasure for us. Continental breakfast is superb. We were especially touched with recognition of our anniversary stay. Thanks."

"Service was outstanding! Thank you for making our stay (&anniversary) even more special. Thank you for the superb treatment by your entire staff."

"I was so pleasantly surprised that the least expensive room was spacious and lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will tell others. The staff was very pleasant and helpful."
