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.

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.
