5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2009

When you first drive up to the Ranch Motel, you will probably worry what you've gotten yourself into. The exterior looks like it hasn't been updated in at least 30 years! HOWEVER The interior of the two rooms we rented were spotless, comfortable, and even featured wireless internet. Granted, we felt like we'd traveled back a few decades, but everything... More

The best bargain in Fairbanks! While the motel is unassuming from the outside and only has around 30 rooms, it is clean (the smoking rooms smell better than non-smoking rooms I have been in elsewhere!) and well run and the manager is informative and friendly. She will even wake customers (at their request) at 2 a.m. to see the northern... More

I found the Ranch Motel to be very clean, quiet and comfortable. The rates are very reasonable as well. I have a small dog and it is difficult at times to find a Motel that will accomdate her. There is a large grassy area for walking your dogs. The staff is very friendly and quite helpfull. More

This was the most horrible place I have ever seen. We were attending a function in Fairbanks and checked the website for a nice motel. The pictures of the rooms at the Ranch Motel were very nice with Victorian furniture, we couldn't find a picture of the outside of the motel. When we arrrived at the motel we found the... More

Our group did not even stay this place was so bad! We found it online and were impressed with the touting of cleanliness and really nice looking victorian rooms. However, once we arrived it was a completely different story. The place is really old and run down. The beds were sagging and the rooms reeked of stale smoke. I didn't... More

We didn't do anything but look in the room before we left. This is a very old falling down building. The mattresses had a 4 inch sway. The rooms smelled so much of old smoke that we couldn't breathe. There was nowhere safe that we could walk our pet. It is on a very busy street. More

I visited Fairbanks last week of October, 2005, and stayed at the Ranch Motel. It's a very nice place. The people running it are nice. They tout the cleanliness, and they are right. The location is pretty good. Restaurant, laundromat, and quickie mart are right nearby. The motel is a one story building that stretches west to east between Cushman... More
