El Rancho is my FAVORITE hotel. I walk in and feel like a kid on an adventure. Oh the stories their shoe shine racks could tell. If you’re a fan of old western movies, El Rancho is a must stay.

Coolest hotel,stayed in the main building. Bathrooms are tight and pillows were lumpy. The other hotel features outweighed any negative. I would stay again for the experience
