What guests say
8.6 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 2,112 guest reviews
Hotel El Rancho is overwhelmingly praised as a one-of-a-kind Route 66 institution, with its historic lobby, Hollywood memorabilia, and characterful rooms winning consistent enthusiasm from guests across multiple countries. However, travellers should specifically request a room in the main hotel rather than the adjacent motel annex, and should be prepared for small bathrooms, an ageing parking area, and early closing times for the bar and restaurant. The experience is largely exceptional for those who appreciate its vintage charm, though the on-site dining receives more mixed feedback.
