The rating on Expedia was “9.2 Wonderful!”. It was far from it. Hotel El Rancho is almost 100 years old and it shows it age - even with the renovation. The outer door to our room and the main door to our room barely opened. The toilet flush was ear-splittingly loud. The bathroom smelled like a sewer before we used it. The parking lot was in terrible shape – lots of potholes and extremely cramped parking. The front desk person was

A little piece of the ol' West in todays world.
Enjoy staying at the Hotel el Rancho for its uniqueness, charm and historical values. You will find the rooms a little smaller than other hotels but none of them have the charm and history.
