The decor of the hotel is excellent. It is modern but feels vintage Americana. I did wish the room had a fridge, but we enjoyed the stay and would definitely stay there again.

Old hotel going through renovations. Very very small room although I booked “Deluxe King”! Not worth the money. Rooms have odd smell. Stay at Best Western or choose other brand hotel.

Truly a cultural experience of stepping back into an earlier era of hotels along Route 66. Glad we experienced it, including the old-style elevator, for which we initially had to figure out how it works. One for the memory books. And must add the good southwestern-style breakfast we had at its restaurant.

We really enjoyed out first time at El Rancho. We stayed in the annex building and the rooms were exceptionally clean and cutely decorated in a Route 66 theme! Everyone was very friendly and the main hotel is beautiful. My kids loved discovering the secret room.
