El Rancho Motel

The El Rancho Motel was great. Very clean, friendly. Their concern for our comfort was nice. The only complaint was that Hotel.com had overbooked the room we were to be in. The lady that runs the motel was able to offer us another room. Next time we will book directly through the facility!
