Hotels near Bailiwick Ranch and Discovery Zoo

"Red Ranch Inn was clean, convenient, and memorable in a way only a roadside motel can be. Check-in was great. The woman at reception was lovely, the grounds were well maintained, and the room itself was impressively clean. The location is also solid, about 10 minutes from downtown Catskill and 15 minutes from Saugerties. The room had a cozy, rustic feel with new floors, an updated bathroom, consistent internet, and plenty of 1970s motel charm. That said, the door felt a little too “Hollywood prop” for comfort. It was loose in the frame, with light coming through all four sides, although there was a deadbolt and chain. The mattress was very firm, which I don’t mind, but it seemed vinyl-covered and was sweaty to sleep on, even with extra sheets. The supplied soap and shampoo also looked and smelled exactly the same, so that was a tiny mystery. The real entertainment came from the parking lot. On Friday afternoon, a very loud dirt bike made repeated loops through the motel lot and down the road. Later, the bike returned for more laps with a rotating cast of riders. Saturday morning brought loud music, yelling, and a visit from the state police. Thankfully, things settled down each time, and there were long stretches of quiet. Overall, the basics were good: clean room, friendly reception, solid internet, decent location, and updated bathroom. See Google review for more details."

"This place is a True Find. It just isn't your typical Inn experience. If you are up for a truly unique and eclectic atmosphere, gorgeously reclaimed, then dust off your Safari Hat and come to be delighted. Be sure to find time to chat with the manager Shawn and his posse of goats! We look forward to coming back with friends! "

"Cesar provided fantastic service. The description of the property and the pictures on the listing gave me a considerably different expectation than what we actually experienced when we arrived"
