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.

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.
