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!

Super cute, renovated motel in great location
Stayed here for just one night while checking my son into college. Super cute renovated older motel. Very cute with an absolutely great location. Close to the college, close to the pearl, etc.. Can’t beat the location. I would definitely stay here again and plan to. I do wish they had TVs in the room or at least I wish I had thought to ask that before my stay. Other than that, I loved it.

The Ranch Motel is a throwback to my youth where the folks always took us to Motor Lodges. The retro vibe continues here with updated amenities such as the pool and bar have a resort atmosphere, and the pickle ball courts. I wish the rooms had ceiling fans and mini fridges.

The motel is very conenient. It is loud at night, even on a Sunday. There was a party at there pool with people not staying at the hotel that was loud until 10pm on a Sunday. The shower tile paint was peeling and no television in room.

Booked for the pool
I found this place while looking for a hotel with a pool, and it did not disappoint. The grounds, staff, pool, room, and pool bar were all excellent. I will definitely be staying here again in the future.
