We had a wonderful experience at the El Rancho Hotel! The hotel is incredibly unique and has so much character and charm. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. It was such a memorable experience, and we truly enjoyed the atmosphere. We would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for somewhere unique, comfortable, and full of personality. Their restaurant was also wonderful and delicious.

We stayed in the Auxiliary (Motel) property across from the main building. It far exceeded our expectations. Beautiful room decorated extremely tastefully. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant and it was excellent. However, the breakfast was not as good.

Well maintained historic hotel. It can be a bustling atmosphere and the staff manage it well. Old time gated elevator operates efficiently and our room was quite spacious. Breakfast was mediocre. French toast was only kissed with egg dip and ended up being very dry, plain bread.
