Check in was easy. The desk clerk was really nice and helpful. It’s an old hotel but very well kept. Loved the Ambience of the wild west and Native American theme. Our room was quite small. A bit difficult to Maneuver comfortably. No fridge. Had a coffee pot but the water tank on it had something floating in it. We would stay there again. The restaurant served a delicious pork stew. A bit expensive.

I really enjoyed my stay in the Doris Day room. The room was small, but very comfortable. The staff - every single one I encountered - were friendly and helpful. They brought me a fan (i have a bit of an addiction to fan noise to sleep by.) The restaurant on property was great and it was all very easy to access from I40, not to mention considerably less expensive than the Best Western , which sits practically in the parking lot of El Rancho. I enjoyed the water wheel in the dining room and the sweet selection and reasonable prices in the gift shop.

Vintage hotel with limited amenities like no a/c, and tiny rooms but also lots of charm in style of old west and Hollywood icons who stayed there when shooting movies in the area. Dozens of autographed photos on walls of two story lobby plus attached restaurant and gift shop. Quirky but different than your usual inns if you can put up with room bathroom about the size of a restroom on an airplane

Quaint, quiet and most of all, very comfortable beds. Pictures abound the walls of celebs that have visited the El Rancho and to think I stayed in the same hotel that many of them had at one time. They had a fantastic gift shop there, a nice bar and a great restaurant on site. Highly recommended.

Would have been nice to know that we would not be staying in the original hotel but was put in a room in the hotel across from the El Rancho. Should have been given the choice when we reserved the room.

Beautiful historic hotel
Hotel is beautiful. Staff are friendly. The room was on the small side with the bathroom about the size of a closet. Hotel had no air conditioning, which wasn't an issue since it's still cool enough not to need it. Hopefully they get it fixed before the summer. Unfortunately the area around the hotel is less than savory. So don't plan on walking around after dark
