I was so excited to stay at the old El Rancho Hotel which had so much history linked to it. We chose to stay in the Route 66 motel attached to it. The room was ‘50’s decorated to the 9’s. It even had a record player with records. My only concern was the rust color water in the toilet. I t was finally clear colored by around 11pm. The room must not have been used for quite awhile. The only other concernwas the temperature of 62 degrees as there is no heat in either the motel or hotel.

Cool hotel with a great southwestern esthetic with a restaurant with good food, my only complaint is the bathroom, as it is EXTREMELY small with little room to maneuver and there's no toilet seat cover either.
