Hotel El Rancho

Excellent period decor, wonderful giftshops, restaurant, and bar!

Nothing

The lobby is incredible! Staff was friendly and we enjoyed the store.

We were put in the annex which was fine but didn’t feel as fun of an experience as being in the main hotel. We had two young children and could hear people upstairs till 2:30am and then, at one point, someone doing donuts in the parking lot.

This place is like a walk down Memory Lane. The lobby is quite interesting, with photos of celebrities who've stayed here. Be sure to check out the secret room behind the bookshelves in the upstairs lobby... Classic! The rooms are quiet, spacious, and adequately furnished.

The restaurant was a little disappointing as far as food quality. Average at best. I tried to find another place to eat in town, but everything closes at 8 pm... Frustrating.

The place was decorated nicely, was fun, historic and unique. The rooms were whimsical.The food in the restaurant was good.There were options for vegans which is always nice to see. Dinner service in the restaurant was timely, friendly and efficient. While we didn't use them, there was a clean pool and a small exercise/weight room.

We didn't realize we would be in an auxiliary building and not in the main motel. There was an upcharge for a room in the main hotel which we declined. The remote for the TV didn't work and after trying new batteries and then a different remote, we switched rooms. The mattress was very firm and uncomfortable. The outside noise level was loud, traffic, garbage truck, etc. We had breakfast at the motel and expected the same service as dinner had been. We waited a long time to be greeted by our server and brought a menu and drinks. Our meal also took a long time to prepare and delivered to pur table. Nothing like the night before.
