Wowed

The staff was very nice and this place is a must see even if not staying at this hotel. We were really surprised when we walked in, it’s a lodge you would see at the Grand Canyon, with a lot of history. It has a nice large gift shop, and restaurant, and bar area you can dine in, a gem of a place.

Historical Stay

El Rancho is a unique vintage hotel. Its design and decoration makes the experience and atmosphere more memorable and its collection of memorabilia is extensive and entertaining. Despite the hotel’s history and age management has kept up with the times and the facilities are well maintained and clean.

Saloon

We stayed in the Annex building, which is not as cool as the main building. The main building lobby is very cool.

The best on Route 66

Amazing room in the newer wing. This place is very special- full with character, history and a friendly staff. Most likely the best hotel on Route 66.

Blast from the past

Great refurbished hotel. The decor was like going back to a simpler time with all the old furniture and pictures. Room was clean quiet and the bed comfortable. Bathroom might be a little small but the shower was very nice. Looking forward to our next trip to Colorado and we will be back to stay and enjoy their restaurant.
