Our stay was absolutely wonderful!. Too bad we could only stay 1night. Helpful, courteous, accommodating. We liked not having a TV. It was definitely retro and the atmosphere was great-lush foliage. Good drinks, too.

No warm water, bugs in the shower, most uncomfortable hard as a rock bed I've ever slept on, and there was some random buzzing noise every 10-30 seconds that wakes you up. Not worth $200.

Such a fun place to stay! They've done a great job turning this once drive-in motel into a trendy oasis. The rooms are simple, clean and cool (both temperature & style), the grounds are well-maintained with great landscaping, the pool is super chill, great bar, management is friendly and accommodating -- there's everything you could want or need within walking distance. Highly recommend.

I'm a big fan of boutique hotels and try to support them when I travel. The Ranch Motel has a hip look and great photos, but it left a lot to be desired. The rooms are tiny with zero amenities (except amazing bath products!). The bathroom had no counter space so we left our toiletries on the floor (which was painted and chipping). The water in the shower was lukewarm even with no cold water turned on. We went to the bar on Friday night and were the only guests there. The menu is super unique and the bartender was surprisingly unhelpful. On Saturday, the coffee truck which gives guests a free cup of drip coffee wasn't open at 8AM (I think they were still getting set up), so we went off property to get coffee. We wanted to use the pool on Saturday afternoon, but it's pretty small and they have huge floaties that kids were using so we skipped it and took a nap instead. Overall, I'd stay elsewhere. It missed the mark on too many things and it was overpriced for what we got.
