In most cases if you are heading to Sedona you are going for the scenery and the atmosphere of the place. There is no place better than the Star Motel for that. From the door of the motel you can see the main uptown area about 100 feet away. There are lots of kitschy little shops right there. Plus you can see the beautiful views of the red rocks of the mountains surrounding Sedona.

The motel is not designed for hanging out in. The rooms are fairly small but not tiny. And there's no luxurious services offered. But the weather is often nice in Sedona with cool nights and warm days, so you really don't want to stay indoors all the time anyway.

From the hotel you can walk to just about anything in uptown Sedona including restaurants, shops, and galleries. And since the motel is much cheaper than the other options in Sedona, you'll have money to spare for the other experiences there. There's a little convenience store next door where you can buy beer or wine and enjoy it on the front porch of the motel.

I'd easily go back there since Sedona is designed for day trips around the area (hiking, eating, etc.). And since you park in front of your room it's easy to get in and out.

Cheap, comfortable and it’s in the middle of this wonderful place. We walked to various places. There are parking spaces in front of the motel which is a good thing.I never stayed in a motel but I was happy with our choice.

We did not have reservations but I had read about this motel and decided to check it out. We have been here a week and it feels like home. We head back to Illinois tomorrow and don't want to leave. I feel like I have a new friend in Anne, the owner. She went out of her way to accommodate us and recommended many things to see and do as well as great places to eat. This is our second trip to Sedona and we'll be back and know just where we'll be staying... The Star Motel! Thank you Anne for all you did for us and making us feel at home.

After breakfasting in town we returned to the Star prior to the 10 AM check out to find that our room had been stripped (bed linens piled outside, trash removed and dumped, etc.) and some of our personal items were missing. We called the number posted on the office door (no office staff from 8PM-10AM) and were directed to wait until Ms. Clair arrived. We then waited around while she hunted for the maid.The ensuing dialog centered around how hard the maid has to work so she needs to get a head start, rather than an acknowledgment that our security had been breached when items were removed before check out. This interaction kept us from getting on the road for an extra hour and was emotionally upsetting, with little if any concern by the Star staff. The missing items were eventually found in the maid's pocket and the trash. The owners have been contacted in writing via the motel website and have NOT replied.
