It is posted in multiple places that quiet time is from 9:00pm to 9:00am. At 6:45am someone had a leaf blower going! It only occurred one morning. Otherwise, awesome stay.

A Clean, reasonably priced small but comfortable rooms.
Karen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cozy, affordable, treated like family.

Fred and the staff are amazing. We stay at least twice a year for a week or so each time. Everytime we come we are treated like family. Fred was so kind to check in with us before we arrived and ensure we were all taken care of upon arrival. Additionally, we were able to receive an Amazon delivery for our 2 month old's formula. El Rancho is very small and cozy, you become a local everytime you stay there. While the hotel does not have the bells and whistles of the larger chains, it is affordable, safe, and close to everything. We always feel like we are staying at our own apartment right on Coronado Island. We always love our vacations to Coronado and only stay at El Rancho. Thank you Fred, Kathy, and everyone that works so hard to make us feel special.

10/10 Exceptional

It was lovely. It would have been more helpful to have information about the logistics of the property, i.e. on staff on site etc. however, it did not overly impact our stay in any way. We would certainly stay again. Rooms are small, best for 1-2 people.
