Other notable destinations in North Arizona include Flagstaff set alongside the San Francisco Peaks which has the largest ponderosa pine forest, Museum of Northern Arizona, and is close to a number of national parks and monuments. On the south side of Arizona lies the city of Phoenix, the largest in Arizona. Notable day trips in Phoenix include the Heard Museum which is one of America's largest collections of Native American art, Phoenix Museum of History, as well as the Desert Botanical garden which has a great collection of desert plants.

Set on 70 acres in Boynton Canyon, this upscale resort is 8.5 miles from Sedona and 16 miles from Slide Rock State Park. Sophisticated rooms with Southwestern decor feature decks with views of the red rock mountains, as well as Wi-Fi, minibars and coffeemakers. Upgraded rooms and suites add fireplaces and kitchens; some include private pools or hot tubs.
Beware - The door to an adjoining room did not have a lock on it! An empty hole where a lock clearly should have been was simply covered by a decorative plate. The plate itself was about to fall off and when we moved it we realized there was no lock and someone from the adjoining room could open their door and simply push our door open! We told maintenance and hours later he returned with a lock, acted as if they didn’t know and no apology was made! The room is in a dire need for an update! The shower is in the bathtub which has a very high lip on it. Someone with balance issues would definitely struggle as we both hit our knees and ankles trying to get in and out. The glass doors that slide back and forth are very heavy and the knobs are about to fall off making them difficult to open and close. There’s no doubt that the surrounding area is stunning; but don’t plan on saying the same about the accommodations!

Experience the luxury of a bygone era at Grand Canyon Railway Hotel. Designed to resemble the century-old train depot that housed the original Fray Marcos Hotel, our hotel is a relaxing retreat in a picturesque Western setting. The 298-room hotel is just a block away from downtown Williams and historic Route 66. Combined with a variety of amenities such as complimentary wi-fi, an indoor pool and hot tub, delicious dining options at Grand Depot Cafe and Spenser's Pub, The Grand Canyon Railway Hotel is the perfect place to stay before embarking on your grandest of journeys!
This train was very clean, comfortable seats, pleasant environment with a knowledgeable/friendly host, live singers. Did look vintage on the outside, but was modern to have enough power to climb higher elevations, air conditioned and roomy.

We flew into Phoenix late at night but we knew this is where we wanted to stay from past experiences at Drury Inn. By the time we landed and picked up our rental car we didn't arrive until almost midnight. The night clerk looked like he might have been asleep when we arrived. Other than that, check in was quick. Our room was good size with a small refrigerator and a balcony. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet. The water pressure and temperature was good in the morning. There were many tasty choices for breakfast in the morning and the front desk clerk was very friendly when we checked out. I am sorry we did not get a chance to take part in the 5:30 kick off! I would stay here again.

The staff went above and beyond to accommodate me and allow me to check in early which was most appreciated after a long flight from NY. The amenities in room and the facilities and services throughout were exceptional. Every restaurant had delicious food and impeccable service.

The prices for food and drinks are OUTRAGEOUS! Be ready to spend ridiculous amounts on disgusting, crap food and drinks. They don’t allow outside food/drinks so you’re basically held hostage. Not fun is you’re staying for more than 1 day.
