After bidding for days and being rejected on priceline for the Radisson Poco Diablo resort and Hilton, we finally gave up and found this hotel's rates cheaper and pictures even better than them. My most important features are cleanliness, nice bedding and newer bathroom. Great value. The hotel is still in motel structure but the rooms are nice, refrigerator available too.

We stayed in room 221 and our bathroom at granite countertops, a new shower head that is detachable and height adjustable, as well as a curtain rod that is round so that we don't have to touch the curtain while showering. Sink area separate from the shower/toilet which is convenient when sharing.

Beautiful view from our balcony of the Sedona landscape as well as the pool. The weather was perfect. You will need a sweater at night. Don't forget that Sedona is much cooler than Phoenix due to its higher elevation. Check out pictures.

Pet friendly hotel with non-refundable fee.

Definitely check out the restaurant Cafe Elote that's connected to the restaurants. I found great reviews and agreed with them. They are very busy and don't take reservations for parties less than 5. We put our name in at 7:30 and eventually got seated at 9pm. Good thing we were able to relax in our room while we waited.

The hotel is walking distance to Tlaquepaque Village but it was difficult for us to get there having to walk around all the construction going on.

A great location, hiking trails right behind the hotel. We stayed in a trailhead room which was very quiet and clean. They room size was very nice, larger than the standard hotel room.
Breakfast is horrible, plan on driving elsewhere for breakfast.
Elote restaurat, located in the hotel, was wonderful. Excellent service and amazing food. The hotel is centrally located to everything in the Sedona area. Most of the staff was very helppful and pleasant.

My wife and two kids (1 and 4 years olds) took a road trip to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon and Sedona. For the one evening we stayed in Sedona we ended up at the King's Ransom. Here are my thoughts:

POSITIVES:

1. Location: This is located right in the heart of Sedona and within walking distance of many of the awesome galleries (including the very cool collection of shops called Tlaquepaque.

2. Breakfast: A free continental breakfast is included with the price of the room. The breakfast had a nice selection of fruits, cereals, yogarts and patries. The cafeteria was nice and clean and had wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. An enjoyable place to start off the day.

3. Pool: The pool area was very nice (see picture).

NEUTRALS/NEGATIVES:

1. Room: This hotel is more like a motel with the ability to drive up and park right outside the door of your room. Our room was large and looked over the pool area but the furnishings were on the old side and cheap. The TV in the room was small. The bathroom needed some work, however, the shower had great water pressure. The room we stayed in could definately use have used some touch up (paint, moulding, etc.)

2. Price: I paid $130 directly through the hotel and this seemed reasonable given the prices of other lodging in the area.

3. Lobby: Very motel-ish and while the staff people were friendly they were not particularly helpful and getting information about the surrounding area.

We were looking for a reasonably-priced smallish hotel in Sedona, and the Kings Ransom looked good on-line and had decent reviews on Trip Advisor.
The location was very convenient, although there was construction right out front on Rte. 179 (not the fault of the hotel, I realize!)
We had reserved a second floor "trail head" room, located at the rear of the property. The reservation was made about 3 months in advance of our stay. We did get the trail head room but not on the second floor. (Not a deal-breaker for us but we had hoped to have a better view.)
The room was large for a motel room, and the king bed was comfortable. There was a spa tub, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent. We had a patio with a view of the parking lot next door, but if we turned our heads we had a lovely view of the red rocks. Housekeeping was good and we always had plenty of towels, etc.
Our main problem with the room was that the building seems to be "old-style" construction with no sound-proofing. Every time the upstairs or next-door neighbors used any water (shower, toilet or even sink) or walked across their room, we heard it. At 2 am this was not enjoyable. It wasn't loud partying, it was just normal usage of the rooms, but we could hear everything.
The pool was nice, and the hot tub was huge. The restaurant on the property, Cafe Elote, had a limited menu but the food was outstanding--highly recommended.
If you are not looking for luxury and don't mind the noise from the other rooms, this motel is a good choice.
