Hotel El Rancho

The kitschy charm of the old hotel was a nice change from cookie-cutter roadside lodging. The hotel staff did not help us with our bags, go into detail about the history of the hotel but the history is well documented all over the walls. The restaurant/bar was fun, even though the bartenders/servers were not in any rush, the food was good and there’s a hard 4-drink maximum. The one treadmill they had was Out of Order, and there was armed security on premises. Overall, I’m glad I saw all the history and was a fun change from typical lodging.

Stayed in the main building; room was spacious but bathroom was tiny.

Clean room, love the layout of the property, has a Spanish vibe.

As this hotel being in operation for many decades, it has a rich history of many movie stars staying here during their movie filming. It maintains a clean and period correct theme throughout with rooms named after the stars and are very comfortable. Will definitely stay here in the future!

Absolutely over the top and loved every minute of it! Our room had a balcony that faced out front. We enjoyed spending out evening out there.
