This motel is a gem! Modern amenities (cable TV, refrigerator, microwave, coffeemaker); friendly staff; very clean. On a road trip, I like a motel where I can drive up to the door of my room; this motel was perfect. Also, it is just a 3-minute drive to the state park or to the shops and restaurants on Broadway.

El Rancho Motel

The El Rancho Motel was great. Very clean, friendly. Their concern for our comfort was nice. The only complaint was that Hotel.com had overbooked the room we were to be in. The lady that runs the motel was able to offer us another room. Next time we will book directly through the facility!
