Truly a cultural experience of stepping back into an earlier era of hotels along Route 66. Glad we experienced it, including the old-style elevator, for which we initially had to figure out how it works. One for the memory books. And must add the good southwestern-style breakfast we had at its restaurant.

We really enjoyed out first time at El Rancho. We stayed in the annex building and the rooms were exceptionally clean and cutely decorated in a Route 66 theme! Everyone was very friendly and the main hotel is beautiful. My kids loved discovering the secret room.

The main hotel itself is terrific with a lot of movie history. The decor in the rooms in the annex were fab. The restaurant was pretty good. Love the menu with all the movie star reference. The area is not great. Not at all pet friendly or not good for service animals as there really is not a place for them to walk.
