we just made it into
uh torrey utah which is right by capitol
reef national park
and we're staying at the red sands hotel
so far first impressions this place was
really great
uh customer service was uh top notch
there's candy
right behind me which is already resting
yeah i'm pretty tired yeah we're both
pretty tired
um had a pretty long drive today with a
lot of stops and she was driving through
the mountains and
i don't think we'd drink enough water
because we were so worried about using
the bathroom all the time
um but we're here so we're gonna give
you a quick tour of the room
then we're probably gonna eat and then
we're probably gonna go to bed i wanna
start off with the price of this hotel
it was super cheap it was only a hundred
bucks a night
really yeah only a hundred bucks it's
nice for a hundred bucks a night
and it was pet friendly um so
for like the total with taxes i think it
was like 212 dollars for two nights
really good deal it doesn't look that
way from the entrance it's really nice
yeah entrance is really nice the lobby
is great
they must have just remodeled because
everything looks brand new i know they
remodeled some stuff
um we're gonna show you like what they
remodeled in here um
and then the restaurant is open too
i don't think the restaurant was gonna
be open i saw some hotels their
restaurants were still closed but it is
open here
we have noticed that they are more
relaxed here with the
the masks and such because i haven't
seen anyone else wear masks yet i saw
the young people yeah yeah it's like the
younger people
the younger kids are wearing masks but
not the young people at the restaurant
yeah i think people that live here are
not really wearing masks
and the tourists that are younger are
wearing masks but we haven't really seen
um many people wearing masks when we
once we got here so that's like just
something to note
we're gonna continue to wear masks
because we just want to protect
ourselves and protect others just in
case
all right let's start with the room um
first thing we noticed was that there's
two different size beds we've never seen
that in a hotel room usually it's like
the exact same bed sizes
yeah so obviously crystal and kuma
they're gonna get the bigger one
that's right right too much she said
that's right i love this carpet
it always does this in the carpet
our last place didn't have carpet so she
didn't get to do this yeah
so i just noticed like that is a very
interesting corner it's like
a end table that's attached to the wall
this table
is probably from before but the chair
looks kind of
updated the like those little pieces of
art are pretty cute actually i like
the you know the arrows up there and i
think they you know
they mixed in the hole with the new like
really well because
i mean i don't think the bed is new it
doesn't look new to me but
it's nice and clean and it it feels nice
so we'll see the tv is a little bit
small like i don't know how this
person's gonna be able to see it might
have to like
turn it it's like meant just for this
person sleeping here
you know it's just for me and kuma yeah
which chris actually never really turns
on the tv or watches it i actually do
like that helps me sleep i don't know
why like watching a little bit of tv
makes me sleep
but we can move it over yeah it's
probably over a little bit
um and then yeah so there is a microwave
but i noticed on like our trip
um the previous place had a microwave
too which is great if you want to warm
up some
you know some leftovers from a
restaurant nice big fridge i love the
size of this fridge it's not one of
those like square
tiny ones i usually see on hotels so
that's nice
um i forgot to mention the console has
two drawers i don't think there's
anything in there but
yeah there's nothing in there
i love it when hotels provide like the
channel list instead of me how do i keep
scrolling through
to find something um old school
telephone but they did update their
outlets
so there is a usb outlet i love how they
put the
wi-fi code right there for you to see so
yeah
this is the bathroom's actually two
parts
so the sink is actually on that room
part
outside of the bathroom uh so they i
think this part is definitely renovated
and
this countertop because this looks like
one of those spa
type of um sinks didn't we have this at
the last hotel too
yeah yeah okay one in mammoth yeah
okay yeah so i feel like a lot of the
hotels that renovate put the sink in
because they're like oh that's on trend
we're putting that in or if they're
called a resort because this is called a
resort too right or a spa resort and
that so was the mammoth ones called a
spa resort
yeah they love these things yeah
i mean it does look nice though it does
and then
underneath are some towels and candy
really likes this basket she was telling
me
that this is like a new thing that
people like doing
with these handles these copper handles
rose gold crystal
these are rose gold i think that's rose
gold oh okay roses i could be wrong but
it looks real
it looks more rose gold than copper to
me i think so yeah
uh there's also a hair dryer down here
are you trying to get cookies that's my
phone it was like i'm starving feed me
you've got so
many treats along the way nice medium
sized con air hair dryer
hold your horses all right after this
and plus you're gonna have to model for
us in a bit to take pictures so you're
gonna get lots of treats then too
anyway back to the sink area
what i really liked were the toiletries
um bigelow or ceo biggle was actually a
really nice brand
so we were pretty impressed by that so
they have shampoo
conditioner body lotion and shower gel
we also like that they have
liquid soap and not the bar i mean they
did provide bar soap too
but we'd rather use the liquid soap and
they have disinfectant spray
that was that's a new one we've seen and
yay
makeup remover always love these well
over here
is where you can hang up your clothes
any luggage
we already put some of our luggage here
there's a iron
laundry bag where's the iron anymore
i don't see an ironing board but
maybe you request it or something and
then here is the bathroom
there's a fan in here we always like
fans and bathrooms
um but yeah this is where they have it
renovated
everything is pretty old school in here
like i haven't seen that style of a
bathtub in a long time
like this is super i'm gonna say
like early 90s and the phone
too but maybe like late 80s even
and they also say that their
flushing system
our toilets are low flush designed to
save water
so you just have to um flush often and
hold down
the handle one more thing our view
we are on the first floor in room 112
we're at the very
end by the restaurant and on the back of
the hotel we saw
a nice view with um some cliffs or rocks
that you could see in the distance
this view you don't get much you get the
parking lot view
but i just noticed some cows there's
some cows out there
i think there's cows in the back too
pulled in
so they have cows everywhere around here
it seems like
um yeah i'm i'm pretty excited to stay
here
i'm gonna have our lunch out here this
is the pool of the hotel and goes
looks out to this beautiful farmland
view
lobby area is nice
there's a horse out there yeah there's a
horse and and then
yesterday during around sunset there's a
lot of horses like the horses
cows i did hear cows in the distance
though yeah
you can use that area for your laptops
and such there's
lots of outlets there's some games over
here
what'd you read in there um
stuff on the old west thyme live books
this one isn't gunfighters i feel like
i've seen these books before
so this is called the map room
a nice area to chill we can get some
coffee here yeah
there's a keurig for our coffee
there's maps hence the map room
a big map over there
some information and i like this part
because it says employee trail
experiences
so you can kind of see like what
the favorite uh tropics
[Music]
we just checked out of red sands hotel
and overall we had a really good stay
there there were some
uh drawbacks but it wasn't it was really
minor and it wasn't anything that effect
like affected our opinion about the you
know overall
yeah because i mean i would stay there
again especially because there's limited
choices
around here um i would i wouldn't yeah i
wouldn't affect my decision to not stay
there again
yeah like i said it was very minor so
one thing was the
coffee so usually if they offer
complimentary coffee
and their lobby they'll have
caffeinated coffee but they only had
decaf which is so weird
and so i asked them and they were just
like sorry we only have teacup
i i guess they're just not even thinking
about restocking caffeinated
coffee i don't know but with that being
said they do have
free coffee and tea in the mornings from
7 to eleven
and then another thing was i thought was
odd was they had an iron but no ironing
for it oh that's right
um and we i do iron my some of my
clothes um
not a whole lot i do bring a lot of
wrinkle-free clothes so it's not that
much of an issue
um but yeah but we did have to use it
and we just used the bed
which doesn't do a great job of ironing
but it's just there's no sign
saying that you know they have one if
you call the front desk so that was a
little odd that there was no uh
ironing board yeah um and plus you know
if they're closed from like
seven to ten and a lot of times we wake
up early
you know at 5 36 so we can't even call
them to get the ironing board
yeah but i guess you could get it the
day before if they do have it but anyway
yeah
yeah um we got through it okay we did i
are not close to the bed but it's just
not the best way to do it let's get into
the good stuff now
so getting into the good stuff we love
the location of the hotel
it's ten minutes from the national park
there are closer hotels but we really
like this one
i read other reviews on the ones that
were closer to the park and they were
really
iffy there was a lot of mixed reviews
but the red sands hotel
mostly had good reviews they also
renovated recently so the rooms are
really nice
the toiletries were great they had great
toilets yeah they had a really
good um big name brand for the ceo
bigelow i think it was yeah
and they make really great stuff and
i've had i've
used their toiletries before at some
luxury hotels so
for them to provide that i was kind of
surprised yeah yeah the toiletries were
a little surprising
another thing we loved about this hotel
was
the um the pool and the view that it had
we love the outdoor area the patio
and the lobby was beautiful the lobby
was great
it really did have like this spa like
zen feeling it was
you know the the natural light in there
everything was
it wasn't cramped like everything was
spaced out really nice
the views outside were gorgeous it
really did have a relaxing vibe there
i really did have a good time there i
highly recommend it
um kumon really loved it we loved our
beds too candy had tossed and turned but
i don't know if it was because of the
comfort of the bed yeah i think it's a
little bit too soft
for me it was a little bit which is
weird because crystal really likes firm
beds so
but it wasn't you know too soft for her
so yeah mine didn't feel too soft we
also had two different size beds in our
room
yeah size bed which i used and i had
