Nice little patch of peace within San Antonio. Rooms are simple but clean and well-cared for. The renovation of whatever was there before has worked really well and created a charming space that’s full of character.

Cute little find in SA

We enjoyed our time at the Ranch Motel. The accommodations were comfortable and the property felt intimate. The pool was too warm to swim in and the bar was closed so I don’t have much to share on the amenities. We will definitely back again.

This place is the cutes ! The staff is super friendly. We bring our little French Bulldog with us and they welcome him with treats and even had a bed available for him, but we had our own. The aesthetics are beautifully done. Very instagrammable

This is an old motel remodeled to include lots of the original items. I absolutely loved this place. But remember no refrigerator or microwave. Pool looked awesome. The bar hadn't opened yet when I was there, but it looks like it's going to be amazing. Pet friendly.

Retro modern artsy.

This place is such a cool experience! Retro meets modern. Feels like a 50s motel updated to state of the art. They have a great pool, a bar, and they’re opening five Pickleball courts. Great location and great service! Highly, highly, highly recommend!!!

Super cute, renovated motel in great location

Stayed here for just one night while checking my son into college. Super cute renovated older motel. Very cute with an absolutely great location. Close to the college, close to the pearl, etc.. Can’t beat the location. I would definitely stay here again and plan to. I do wish they had TVs in the room or at least I wish I had thought to ask that before my stay. Other than that, I loved it.

Clean, comfortable, cute

Neat place with cool vibe. Older motel that has been renovated. Comfortable bed. Beautiful pool area. Ping pong table. Very friendly & helpful staff. Close to downtown and Pearl district. Next to Brackenridge Park which has gorgeous Japanese tea garden. They have bikes you can rent and ride thru the park. Helps to know parking is behind the motel and no TV in room. Would definitely stay again.

This motel is close to the botanical garden and an easy roll to downtown. The staff were friendly and helpful. The site is newly renovated. My only major issue was not figuring out the heat and ac the first night. I didn’t notice the remote in the desk. It was fine once I found the remote. Very clean and newly painted.
