Stayed for work. Reasonably priced. Interesting quirks. Unique older motel with a bit of character.
This place is an amazing hidden gem! The hospitality is unmatched and all of the staff are incredible and very kind. The property is absolutely stunning and peaceful. I will miss it here so much and I recommend it to everyone. Thank you Ranchito Motel for a truly unforgettable experience and I can't wait to come back someday!
The staff was great. Linda on the morning shift was so much help. There was a little issue with the hot water but the maintenance man was there in minutes and it was solved in a matter of 5 minutes
Really nice people own it. Rooms clean and interesting. I stayed in an older, historic room. Loved being in the trees and the water running through the property was so neat! Nice to have WiFi and dish but if you want to unplug, this is a nice place for that. Will stay again. Quincy is a nice town with so great food and things to do in any direction.
I like the rustic, historic nature of the Ranchito Motel. The grounds are very pretty and the rooms are cozy. The heaters work great and are super quiet. The motel is also in a convenient location. I loved staying there with my family. It kind of felt like home for our short visit.
Diamond in the rough! Owner is absolutely fantastic. This stay is the perfect location for a mountain living getaway, walking distance to the Plumas County Fair, stores and smack dab in the middle of God's country, embraced by the wonderful scent and scenery of the surrounding abundance of majestic mountains and beautiful pine trees. The room was warm and cozy, and the individual character of rare furnishings, along with modern amenities, was the perfect combination for a place to lift up your feet and relax. We call this our favorite! The receptionist was also outstanding in her welcoming and her hospitality.
5 stars for us, we love the place and they are very friendly and accommodating! We stay here every time!
Excellent room. Beautiful grounds. I stay here for work fairly often. The rooms are quiet and the beds are comfortable.
