Interesting historical hotel with fun decor. The room was tiny but manageable. Room was clean with a nice bed. The only issue was that even though the hotel was not full I was given a room near the old elevator which was noisy. Overall a good stay.

Not family friendly with a non smoking room

The cold draft entering through the windows was not comfortable that i could not sleep, the water leaks in the bathroom during the shower prevented us all from showering, one bathroom for the multiple beds caused us to utilize the bathrooms downstairs, no extra blanket for the pull out. One door would not lock to the balcony, it was not safe, and the aroma of drugs entering the room along with the cold air was disgusting. I was disappointed with all the above and had hoped an amazing stay.

Problems in bar?

Love El Rancho Hotel so booked again on my trip to AZ Not sure what was going on this time with hotel security. Went to the bar and was informed they could Only serve 2 drinks per person. If the hotel is having a problem with the locals they need to figure out better plan where paying hotel guest can enjoy there stay and not be limited.
