We are almost at our hotel. We're going uphill now to Sky Ranch Lodge.
Oh boy, I like this - how we're going up.
It makes me excited because I'm like, 'Maybe there will be a grand view at the top.'
I mean it looks like it from here from what I'm seeing. Candy can't look, but
from what I'm seeing, it looks pretty grand.
Here it is. Sky Ranch Lodge.
I wonder where the entrance is.
It says lobby and gift shop up there. Let's just try up here first.
Alright, so we're in room 222.
Maybe it's this way?
Yeah, I see the number.
They're like little cottages.
Yeah, these are cute.
We'll see how it is inside, but they gave us two bottles of water
and then I mentioned the restaurant that's nearby here. I think it's Grill Mesa or Mesa Grill...
We can just see it from the lobby entrance.
Yeah and you get a 10% discount if you eat there - if you're staying at this hotel so I'm glad I mentioned it.
Yeah I know, they should mention it when you're there without us having to ask.
Oh there's a little grassy area for you, Kuma!
Oh my gosh, Kuma!
This is so perfect. This is great.
We just checked into our room at the Sky Ranch Lodge here in Sedona and we absolutely love it here.
Literally, we just got here and just checked in so we have all of our stuff out but it is so nice.
We think they just recently redecorated this or renovated it because everything looks new.
Everything smells brand new.
I wonder if during the pandemic, because things were shut down, that was their time for companies to be like, 'Let's renovate while we can!'.
Yeah, maybe.
I feel like this is the second hotel we've been to where the previous photos looked kind of dingy and then when we arrive,
and it smells brand new, it looks brand new, so yeah, very surprised at how nice this room is and how spacious it is.
Yeah, it's very spacious.
Wood floors. Kuma doesn't like wood floors because she loves carpet but I love wood floors.
and they have a sign or a notice here that just says, 'Welcome! We're delighted that you're here...'
and that they're adhering to all the CDC guidelines, which is great.
The office is open from 7 to 10.
There's a pool right in front of our place which is nice.
I don't think we'll be able to enjoy it because we're only here for a short amount of time.
The garden... this out here is a little garden we have.
This is really nice. Kuma's going to enjoy this. Yeah, she's already going out
but look at the little bridge right there...
Oh this is so cute!
Such relaxing and calming sounds too.
Alright, Kuma, you want to come back?
We'll go later, okay?
Walking really slow back here.
That's miss turtle.
These are our beds -- they look like queen size beds, which I believe they are -- two queen size beds.
We brought Kuma's little dog bed with us.
It matches the room.
It does match the room!
That was not here. We brought that, hahaha.
It does match it.
There's the drawers here.
Huge dresser.
Oh, these are nice.
They feel -- I think they're brand new.
They feel brand new.
Here's a microwave, which is great, and then they have like a medium size fridge.
Yeah and it's got an actual nice freezer.
Oh it has a freezer which is always great for us so we can keep our ice pack frozen.
Nice size microwave too.
Yeah, it looks brand new too this microwave.
This couch has this nice blanket on it too...
we have so much stuff with us that we just went ahead and plopped everything on the beds and chairs.
We even have a nice little dining area, which you just mentioned.
No, actually I didn't mention the dining table. I just mentioned the pool out there.
Yeah, nice little dining area if we wanted to eat here
but we're probably going to literally walk five minutes -- not even five minutes -- to go enjoy lunch.
I mean dinner.
She's having so much fun.
She's going to town over here.
She's like, 'It's not quite carpet, but I'll take it.'
She's like, 'I'll rub against this bedding.'
Here's the bathroom. Candy was really excited about the bathroom. She's like, 'It's SO nice!!'
This looks brand new up here and then the shower in here looks...
Oh, look at that.
And they have a fan too.
A lot of hotels recently we go to just don't have fans anymore
but yeah, look at how nice this is.
I always like when hotels provide makeup removers.
I think it's a great thought for the ladies and I always do use it and so does Candy.
There is no magnifying mirror. Candy loves those.
Those are not here. I'm sorry, Candy.
But it's nice and bright in here.
But it is nice and bright and she has her big mirror here so she can do her makeup or eyebrow plucking -- whatever she likes to do.
Yeah, it's white lights, not those yellow ones, so it's even better for lighting, hahaha!
They also have some coffee without plastic cups.
They actually put real cups in here like mugs that says Sky Ranch Lodge.
Bummer part is that these chores are fake.
They don't actually open and they're just here for like decoration.
And this doesn't open either; it's locked. I'm guessing they have some supplies in there.
An ironing board, they have extra blankets up top,
and a luggage rack.
The ceiling -- the wood panels are great.
Yeah, we're really excited to stay here. I actually wish we were staying here another day now
because I wasn't expecting it to be so nice.
It's kind of like a pit stop to our next stop, which is in the Capitol Reef area.
So I think we're going to change real quick and walk over to that restaurant.

Look at this. If dogs don't get special treatment, we call this number.
They're supposed to get cold filtered ice water.
I like this place already.
I know. I like it when they are very caring to our pets.
The views are nice too. I like how they built the glass to avoid the dirt and all that too.
And the dust.
Because it's like right by the airport there.
She did get ice water. Right? You got your ice water.
That's nice! Special treatment.

We just left Sky Ranch Lodge and absolutely loved it there.
It was more amazing than we thought it would be.
Yeah, don't listen to the Google rating that this hotel is a two-star hotel
because I think it's outdated and it's more like a four-star hotel in our opinion.
Yeah, because when I looked at the reviews on TripAdvisor and Booking.com, they had all great reviews
so when Candy was looking up on Google search what this place was about,
the Google rating was two stars which is like crazy.
Yeah but the customer reviews on there were 4.5 stars, so it's contradicting.
We see now that -- or we think -- it is just a mistake and they need to update their hotel rating.
What the heck, Google? Yeah, Google.
I picked this place because I saw that you can get great views of the mountains -- or the rocks and the sunset and it was true.
We got some amazing views some panoramic views of the rocks
and we got lucky too staying there because usually if you want to get that view, you have to actually pay for the parking to see that view.
It was like three dollars I believe.
Which is kind of weird because usually when you stop at viewpoints, you don't have to pay for parking.
Yeah.
But since we were staying there, it was just a few steps away from where we were at so we got lucky
but there was this side where the tourists would go to see the panoramic view
but we had another view inside the property which was a lot better because we didn't have anything obstructing the views.
And we had it to ourselves.
Yeah, we had it to ourselves in this nice little bench.
We had like the trees kind of framing it so it was really gorgeous and we enjoyed the sunset views
and the sunrise this morning as well.
Yeah and we were surprised to see hot air balloons during sunrise.
Yes!!
We weren't expecting that so that was a nice surprise.
Yeah, that was really nice.
The room was gorgeous. Way better than I expected.
Gorgeous and spacious. It looked brand new.
Yeah, definitely brand new. I think they recently renovated it.
The property was gorgeous, the gardens were well maintained.
Early in the morning, I already saw maintenance cleaning out the pool, so they're on top of it with cleaning,
keeping the property very clean and really tidy.
And the service was great too. Not only from the staff that worked there,
but Candy was saying the maintenance people that were taking care of the gardens,
they were like, 'Have a great day!' and I'm like, 'Thank you!'.
I would say that it's a fantastic place to stay if you're in the area and I really have no complaints.
None at all. I think that was a really, really great place to stay at in Sedona.
I hope this review helped you out.
