After reading some of these reviews, I thought maybe it was time to share my review of the Ranch Motel. And I know this place well, having stayed at this motel at least 100 nights over the years. The owners are fantastic and treat me and everyone else who lives there (many people live there, and some have lived there for years) just like family. They are very kind to me and all I must do is phone them and they ALWAYS have my room ready whenever I arrive. The rooms are clean, and I have never encountered the issues that some here have complained about. I know for an absolute fact there is an exterminator who sprays each room monthly for these issues. Rules? EVERY hotel I have ever stayed at, and I have travelled the world extensively, has rules. If you are disturbing other guests or destroying their property, of course they are going to ask you to leave. If rules bother you, stay home where I am sure you also have rules you have your guests follow. This is a quiet, clean motel that is well run by people who care about the safety of their guests. I will ALWAYS stay at the Ranch Motel and am thankful this is a fantastic motel for me to safely lodge.

This is a pretty decent motel. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. The location is fine as long as you have a car. The closest places to eat or shop are almost a mile away in either direction. The bus runs on this street, however, only once an hour and not at all on Sundays. Plus, the stops are pretty far from the motel. Which is definitely inconvenient. (However, that says more about the bus system in Cuyahoga Falls). Otherwise, it is not a bad place to stay.

I stayed at the ranch motel around 4 months I enjoyed my time there. It was always quiet . I was able to sleep well. Management sees that others are not loud. They were always helpful the water was always hot .the room was always comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone in need of a room.

Simple, Cheap, bug free motel, owner is very professional and accommodating, and leaves his personal phone number for guests to reach him. Cheap rates and quiet environment. Stayed there for several weeks while in between places. And didn't have any issues the whole time.

I stayed at the Ranch Motel when I went to a concert at Blossom. This is the closest motel to Blossom, and I was pleased with my stay. I have stayed at other motels in the area but I had the best experience at Ranch. Th owner is a sweetheart and always present, the rooms were clean, and the prices are affordable. good deal overall

Great prices for the quality you get. No bugs. Unique but friendly staff. If you want a cheaper rate go with the ranch motel. DO NOT GO TO THE DON EL MOTEL.

I saw drastic change this summer from what i saw few years back. I had to stay in cuyahoga falls after many years, once again for my business trip. Now it seems because of new management, the place is efficiently managed, close to being absolutely clean and at same cheap price.
