The Ranch Motel

Super friendly receptionist, the room was clean and well appointed and comfortable. The property was fun looking with the A-frames. It was quiet and private because there was no one below or above you. There was a nice gathering area if you wanted to be outside.

It would be nice if there were restaurants near by, but there are some about 15 minutes away.

Generally, with us, the people we interact with make the stay. The innkepers and their pup (a true joy) are absolutely lovely and make time to chat and get guests oriented to the area. To be clear, this is very much a roadside motel - but it was the best value we had on the entire trip. Oregon and Northern Cali are not a cheap date - and this was a great find for a one-night roadside stop as we kicked off a roadtrip from Eugene. Little touches like an energy bar and coffee in the lobby in case you need a quick snack are very nice. Finally, the architecture of the property is quite unique. The A-Frame spaces are exceptionally cute.

These folks are just getting started, having taken over this hotel a few years ago - and they took over a property that has a fair bit of deferred maintenance that needs doing. I suspect the maintenance issues will work themselves out over time. But again, the value and the people should offset any hesitation one might have.

Hot in the loft. Needs a fan.

The only thing I had a problem with it felt damp inside. I had to have the heat on to warm it up. It felt like taking clothes out of the dryer and putting them on the bed half dried. The rug in the room was damp, musty smell, but other than that, it was clean safe nice place old people were great
