I love the pool, and aesthetically, the Ranch Motel is perfect. I have a nostalgic attachment. The beds however are not comfortable, there was no food available during my stay, the bartender told me to door dash. No coffee in the am, no TV in room, or refrigerator. I had to keep getting ice for my medication and if the bar was closed no ice was available.

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.

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.
