This is a cute lil boutique style place to stay. Location is on orange, near the bay(walkable). We used our e-bikes to get around the island and were able to go everywhere without using our vehicle. (Including beach) Perfect place to stay abd have a lil $ left to have some fun! Brigantine has the best taco Tuesday with swordfish tacos!!! And Poehes has a great happy hour overlooking the bay at San Diego. Enjoy😎

Cozy, affordable, treated like family.

Fred and the staff are amazing. We stay at least twice a year for a week or so each time. Everytime we come we are treated like family. Fred was so kind to check in with us before we arrived and ensure we were all taken care of upon arrival. Additionally, we were able to receive an Amazon delivery for our 2 month old's formula. El Rancho is very small and cozy, you become a local everytime you stay there. While the hotel does not have the bells and whistles of the larger chains, it is affordable, safe, and close to everything. We always feel like we are staying at our own apartment right on Coronado Island. We always love our vacations to Coronado and only stay at El Rancho. Thank you Fred, Kathy, and everyone that works so hard to make us feel special.

We enjoyed our stay and the place was clean. I liked the fact that there was a microwave and a fridge as well as a Keurig in the room and a bottle filler right outside. Check in was easy and the place was very nice overall. There are a couple of things to note for future travelers. 1. Our room was very small. With 2 queen beds and a room under 200sf, it is not ideal for 4 people. It was my fault for not looking at that detail. But definitely check the room SF to make sure it works for your party size. If there were only 2 of us, it would've been just fine! 2. There are lights right outside every window and there are no curtains, just shutters. That meant at 4am, it looked like it was 7am outside. If you like it dark when you sleep, you'd better bring window coverings because lots of light comes in! I would stay there again in a larger room, with some sleep masks for the family!
