Phoenix has been a historically cheap place for visitors, which is one of the reasons that so many millions land up there every year. But now it seems the red rocks of Sedona are becoming as attractive an option as Phoenix.

And with the economy curtailing bookings at upscale hotels, the motels seem to be upping the ante to fill the demand for low priced accomodations. There are about 50 to 60 Super 8 motels in Arizona. And one of them happens to be the Super 8 Sedona, with rates from $75.88.

For this rate, you get a room with 2 double beds, complimentary wi-fi, cable TV with HBO, coffee maker, hair Dryer, fridge, and super start breakfast. 

Motel amenities include free parking, outdoor heated swimming pool, guest laundry and laundry/valet services, pets allowed in some rooms (extra charges apply), a bar and lounge, concierge desk, meeting and banquet facilities, free local calls, and cots and cribs available for $10.

Basically everything you’re going to need for family vacations in Sedona. There’s plenty of commercial services and shops  nearby, along with a fitness center and spa, barber and beauty salon, and tennis courts. There’s also a restaurant - Sequels - on the premises. 100% smoke free, and rooms are large and spacious. If you feel the need, the motel also offers suites and mountainview rooms.  

The concierge will help you out with your travel plans, and even arrange for jeep rides or horseback rides, and point out nearby activities and points of interest including Verde Canyon Railroad, Red Rock hot air balloon rides, helicopter tours, grand canyon trips, golfing, biplane tours and more.
