This is a historic property, so it will not have some of the more modern amenities. It is a fun place to stay, and the bar staff, restaurant staff, and others were very friendly.

What a fun place to stay! Upon check in we were greeted by the nicest gentlemen that led us to the check in counter. The young lady that checked us in was friendly and helpful. Our room was so cute and clean and had a great view of the front of the hotel. The staff in the restaurant was also so friendly. It was a very wonderful experience.

We had a blast! Great comfortable room, old looking but refurbished and clean. We also found the " secret room" if you have a chance to find it, it is very fun. We also ate at the resturant and the food and staff were excellent.

Our first time staying at El Rancho. It was great. Loved the lobby area, loved all the nostalgia and the big fireplace. It was so fun to think of all the Hollywood history in the hotel. The service in the bar and restaurant was great. Food was amazing and came quickly. We loved the secret room. I think that is a great fun thing to have at the hotel. We would definitely come back to stay again. Thank you for the memories

This was an ideal complement to our Route 66 road trip. The minute you walk in the door you are transported to bygone days in all the most wonderful ways. The lobby was warm and inviting with a fire roaring in the giant fireplace. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The on-site gift shop, dining room and bar made this a perfect one stop shop for any traveller. I would highly recommend El Rancho to anyone traveling through the area.

10/10 Exceptional

El Rancho was by far our best stay over on Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica. Rooms were quiet, comfortable. Really appreciated the quiet room temperature system and the overhead fan. Although there was no microwave or refrigerator, we loved the hotel’s commitment to keeping the old charm of the hotel. The bar was comfortable and free breakfast was made to order delicious.
