Gorgeous rooms, excellent food, lovely service; overall spectacular experience!! Ron, the owner, is so helpful and a wonderful host! The rooms and gardens could not be more beautiful; and the food could be not more delicious!! We cannot wait to return to Sedona to stay at the Adobe Village Graham Inn!!

5 STARS!!

On balance, our stay at the Adobe Village Graham Inn was good, but not exceptional. AAA's four-star rating presents as generous, even if given every year for the past seven.

The room was well appointed, with a strong cowboy theme. The wireless Internet was easily accessed, but without a sitting area, e-mails were sent from my lap, resting on the bed. The room phone was out of service and while Ron provided a replacement cordless phone, the first phone had a non-functioning "1" button, making toll-free access a challenge. The bathroom was clean and spacious. When asked to use the black facecloth to remove make up, one wonders if that means the facecloth can't be sufficiently cleaned to remove traces of the last user. The two twin beds moved together to make a king were comfortable, though there was a slight slope to the outside. The room was poorly ventilated since the window does not open (and the blinds have been damaged by others who've tried) and the vent seems to shut off at night. Outside the window is a pleasant view of the garden area.

Certainly, breakfast is the highlight of this B and B deal. Everything is made fresh and from scratch. Jam-glazed muffins, bananas with clotted cream, orange french toast, and tasty sausages provided a strong start to each day. Granola and cereals are also available. Homemade M&M or Skor bar cookies appear in your room each night, at turn down.

We suspect that Ron and Cheryl may have been distracted during our visit, not once asking us about how our travel to Sedona had been or about our plans for each day. No ideas were offered, though plenty of books and guides are available, as well as the ten-year-old magazines in the bathroom. We were disappointed to be denied a one-hour extension on our checkout time. Last week, our hotel let us stay until 5:00 p.m., with no hassle. When we asked Ron to stay until noon, we were told that that wasn't convenient. The hospitality was a little lacking.

Finally, there is the issue of location. The Adobe Graham Village Inn is in the Village of Oak Creek, almost fifteen minutes from Sedona itself, down a road that is under heavy construction. The Inn is quiet and has beautiful grounds and Bell Rock is very close by. The drive to and from Sedona, though, gets a bit demanding. If you want to visit Telaquepaque, the galleries, Uptown Sedona, the Airport mesa, Red Rock circle or Oak Creek Winery, for example, you probably won't want to trek back to the Inn until the end of your day.

All in all, a nice spot and a relaxing visit, but we'll look elsewhere for our next Sedona stay.

It has been two weeks since our visit to Graham Inn celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary(June 17). I am still smiling when I think about our stay. We had reviewed the inn online before my husband called to make reservations and spoke to innkeeper Ron himself. I had a good feeling about our choice and I want to go back. As we traveled through Sedona, we met friendly people everywhere. Read about the inn's amenities online...they're all true. I would describe it as a quiet B&B with a welcoming, attentive and very informative staff. They helped us arrange excursions,made wonderful dining suggestions and delighted my culinary curiosity. We just didn't have time to take a dip in the swimming pool. But we enjoyed afternoon refreshments poolside. To top it all, I can tell you what happened when my husband mentioned that the air conditioner didn't seem to be cooling our room..Just ask.

I had never been to Sedona before and went to take a break from working for months in Los Angeles. Ron & Cheryl could not do enough to make the visit relaxing, easy and enjoyable-from recommending restaurants, making tee times and suggesting places to go and to see. I would go back any time and, in fact, hope to do so before too long.
