Salt Ranch Hotel

It was a clean room and great location

Nice location and nice rooms. Not designed for small children. More of an adults only establishment

Fantastic place to stay. Great staff and pet friendly

Pool access, location, and cost per night are the perks. It’s aesthetic but the website is a bit smoke and mirrors. The rooms are remodeled motel rooms with fewer amenities than a basic hotel: the “mini fridge” was just a can cooler and there’s minimal vanity space in the bathroom. I had to ask for bedside lamp bulbs, the phone didn’t work, and wires were hanging from what should have been a smoke or CO detector. You must go to the main house to get help and one staff ignored me on more than one occasion, which didn’t feel welcoming. A quick, cheap stay is all this is until they work out some of the kinks.

The pool area and the main building (lobby, dining, bar, etc) were simply amazing. I absolutely love the luxury feel & old-world charm of the main house decor. There is a very large fenced "dog park"- I'd guess its over a ¼ acre, which is very nice for travelers with large or energetic dogs. The remodeling completed this Spring is beautiful and everything goes very well with the ranch theme of the hotel. Staff was very hospitable & friendly. There were a few issues with my stay though: 1) I had to mop my room floor by hand using a washcloth bcuz my feet got dirty instantly as I walked around the room after my shower. This bothered me a bit knowing the place is so dog-friendly. Anyway, housekeeping needs to mop every room. 2) While I appreciated having the tiny electric camping cooler over nothing, the hotel should add small refrigerators to guest rooms and have an ice machine on-site so guests don't have to ask staff for it. The bar could also stock a few bottles of flavored schnapps & liquors for wimps like me. 3) I paid for my nights in advance on Hotels.com when booking, but the hotel charged me $436 for the same 3 nights after checkout. I addressed the matter of incorrect charges with Anthony and was assured that the issue would be corrected... but it's now 3 days later and my bank acct shows neither a charge reversal nor 'pending credit'. Not everyone can afford this type of costly inconvenience. While nice, the stay certainly wasn't worth the $900 double billing.
