Hotels in SedonaA refreshed 3-star hotel with wellness extras in West Sedona
8.3/10
A comfortable hiking base with friendly staff and worthwhile wellness extras, but imperfect soundproofing.
Arroyo Pinion is a refreshed 3-star in West Sedona, not a full-service resort. It's a strong pick for travelers who want comfortable rooms and somewhere to unwind after hiking. Expedia lists a 2026 remodel, and recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise cleanliness, helpful staff and comfortable beds. The heated outdoor pool, sauna, cold plunge and massage chairs give it more appeal than a basic roadside hotel; selected rooms add soaking tubs, fireplaces or patios.
The main compromise is soundproofing: several guests describe footsteps and plumbing noise from upstairs. Breakfast is included but gets mixed marks for variety, and upstairs rooms require stairs because there's no elevator. The hotel's FAQ also lists a nightly service fee and a destination assessment fee. We'd skip it for guaranteed quiet, sweeping room views or an Uptown stay without relying on a car.

Service: Friendly, helpful front-desk staff are a consistent strength across guest reviews.
Amenities: Continental breakfast, heated outdoor pool, sauna, cold plunge and massage chairs; some wellness sessions cost extra.
Fees and surprises: Official FAQ lists service and destination assessment fees; pets cost extra, and wellness inclusions need confirming.
