Hotel Contessa

"Nice hotel. Conveniently located to the Pearl."

Ranch Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The Ranch Motel was a fantastic experience. We were in town for a wedding at the zoo and needed a pet-friendly place to stay with our dog, Coco. Our room was perfectly located, and the staff were incredibly respectful and kind. It is a bit of an oasis once you walk through the gate. A quick tip for future travelers: the motel is transparent about their leisure club events, so be sure to check their schedule. The events run on time, so if you prefer a quieter environment, you can simply plan your activities around them. We enjoyed two excellent food trucks on-site during our stay. My only suggestion for improvement would be to implement QR codes for tipping staff, as we rarely carry cash and would love to tip the bartenders, cleaning staff, and front desk clerks. if Imiised those QR codes please let me know. Other items to note: The front desk is truly available 24/7 and one bartender, whose name I did not get, came to the pool with a dog bowl with ice for our dog. Truly everyone seemed to go above and beyond when you asked for anything---much appreciated."
