Hotel Bedding Giveaway, Yes, Giveaway
December 21, 2006 at 4:05 PM | 0 Comments
When we first heard of the Sedona Rouge Hotel & Spa's "Luxury Bed Set Drawing," we thought...who in their right might would take bedding from a hotel? Some of them may be uber-comfy, but that doesn't mean you trust the maid service enough to take the linens home...and then we read a little more about it.
To celebrate the hotel's recent accomplishment of receiving AAA'a Four Diamond Rating, they have announced a drawing for a complete (and yes, new) Sedona Rouge bed set, known as one of the most lavish and enjoyable features of the hotel. The bed set will include a Simmons King-size Super Plush Pillow Top Mattress with a goose down feather duvet and four premium pillows.
Guests of the hotel began entering to win in November with the lucky winner being announced on February 1, 2007.
While you may not always be able to escape to the Sedona Rouge for a custom spa treatment, the bedding may bring that rest and relaxation you are always looking for...right at home...so get booking.

Bad Rate: Comfort Inn Sedona for $140 a night
October 31, 2006 at 11:41 AM | 0 Comments
[Ed. Note: This is the Bad Rate in our Good Rate/Bad Rate feature. This rate was valid on October 31, 2006 and is subject to change. Enjoy.]
Let's see, a suite in a resort on a golf course for under $100, or a roadside motel for $140 at the Comfort Inn Sedona.
We freely admit to bunking down at a Comfort Inn now and then. If you just want a bed and a shower before you get back on the road, they do the job--and give you free wireless Internet access and ice. When you're on vacation in a beautiful place like Sedona, however--and paying $140 a night for a basic motel room--let's just say it will take more than tai-chi and crystals to make the universe feel aligned.
Supposedly there's a canyon trailhead right next to the motel. But we advise skipping on over to this week's Good Rate instead: The Ridge on Sedona. There you can stretch out with a full suite and a kitchen and have a different walk--onto a golf course. After three nights of staying in better digs, you'll have $120 more dollars left than you would if staying at the Comfort Inn Sedona.

Sedona Hotel Allegedly Boots Guest, Cowboy Style

[Editor's Note: Hotel Maven jerrygregoire is pissed. Tell em why will ya?]
Sedona is a great place and during the high season rooms can be hard to find. Some hotels, such as the Sky Ranch Lodge near the Sedona Airport, take maximum advantage.
We checked into the Sky Ranch Lodge for a two day stay to do a little sight-seeing around the Sedona area. The lodge is a little run-down but clean. After the first night, the staff decided they needed to move us to another room to accommodate a guest that had reserved the room we were in.
Without asking, and while we were gone, the staff packed all of our belongings in plastic bags and placed them behind the front desk. When we returned to the hotel they gave us another room and handed us our belongings (some ruined). They mystery was that the room they gave us was exactly like the one we were in. No apologies from the staff.
In 30 years of business travel in perhaps 20 countries, nothing like this has ever happened to me. I've never even heard of this happening. Unless you're personal privacy is of no concern, stay away from this hotel.

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful holiday in Sedona, Arizona. We spent the first week at the Amara Resort. The hotel is beautifully appointed, our room was tastefully decorated and the aveda bath products a lovely surprise.
