The staff are awesome. Everyone at the front desk and bar are incredibly accommodating. Loved the pool too!
The property is well maintained and beautifully landscaped. The room was comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed ourselves so much we have already booked an additional stay later this year.

Very eclectic property. Interesting, but not sure I would choose again. Lacks in rom amenities. Location was good. Staff very helpful. Parking good.
Very unique property that my wife and I were led to by the reviews of past guests. Property has a very retro and unique feel. Staff was excellent. Drinks at the bar were great. Our room was clean. The bathroom hand soaps, body washes, etc. were great. There’s music during the day and peace and quiet at night. The vibe and grounds of the property make the absence of a tv in the room a non factor. The hotel is positioned a short drive from downtown attractions. I would absolutely stay here again and refer this property to others.

Staff is very helpful. This is a unique place. Lacks some amenities.
My wife and I loved the laid back atmosphere and the retro aesthetic. The room was about what we expected. We came in with lower expectations due to the age of the property. It was clean but musty. To be fair it was drizzly and cloudy the night we stayed. It probably would have been better if the HVAC system would have been turned on prior to our arrival.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Who knows, we might try again if we attend more events in the area. We are still debating.
I had a very pleasant stay at the Ranch Motel. The staff was lovely and responsive to all requests. I wish there had been some on-site breakfast food offering, but the free morning coffee was fine. A nice change to have a retro-stylish but simple and comfortable hotel room. No TV, which was not missed at all. Bed was particularly comfortable. Easy-going but professional vibe throughout.
Cute property with everything you need! The pool and bar is perfect for a fun afternoon and the mezcal bar upstairs is perfect for a nightcap before bed. Rooms are curated very well and are comfy!
