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 was in perfect condition. If you're into retro, here's the place for you! Furniture is old, but good quality and in great shape. The bed is very nice. No complaints. The hotel manager, while direct, was helpful in her suggestions.
Don't listen to the negative reviews. Most don't seem to have even stepped into their rooms before dismissing one of the most pleasant surprises in Alaska.
