It started off by I me get an email asking me to go to their sister hotel to check in that there was no one at the office at the hotel I was staying at. Then the maid, letting us put our luggage into the room because it still was not completed yet and informing us that they will put the key into the dropbox that they have to continue finishing the room that night upon coming back. There was no key however there was a key to a completely different room. Which we were forced to stay into with no luggage or toiletries the next day the hotel management apologized and said that there was a confusion with the maid, and she took the wrong key. Once we finally got into our hotel room. The toilet was clogged it would not flush for 2 days. We complained about it and it was not until the third night of our 4 day stay did they finally get it fixed? Avoid this hotel at all cost

It was clean and well kept. Decent decor inside. it Needed blackout curtains as it was pretty bright all night. There were some shady people hanging around in the courtyard which was unsettling. Parking was easy in front. No food amenities at the hotel. No one refilled our coffee.

The property is in a run down residential neighborhood next to old RV housing and many residents just hanging around. There wasn’t any staff on the property and a note on the door to check in at their other property. At the other property, the staff member at the desk was very kind and helped me get a refund and not stay the night as reserved because I didn’t feel safe with just me and my little dog.

If you don’t have time to read this post, just read this part: DON’T BOOK this place! I’ve made reservations for a bungalow 2 months ahead. The day we got there we were told the check in is at a different place because of some renovations (didn’t notice any work in progress though). We got there and found out they don’t have our room anymore, they gave it away! so they gave me a smaller, cheaper room. Drove to this motel in the middle of nowhere by the Edison antennas. It looks NOTHING like the pictures you see here on Expedia! It’s painted in purple and yellow and green…an eyesore! We got into this extremely small room where they had a kitchen older than me. The bathroom: a whole in the wall with some green tiles was supposed to be the shower. The toilet would not flush! We called and they sent a guy who was trying hard to fix it while we were there-no success. We went back to the motel where we did the check in to ask for another room. There was a long line of people who were mad because they got confirmed reservations and there were no room for them… needless to say they didn’t have another room for us. It was this busy weekend when we couldn’t find a room anywhere else around, so we ended up canceling all plans and driving back home-4 hours away! Some places should be reviewed by Expedia and make sure they meet the standards for traveling. This is definitely not one of them!

We need a night to sleep after a camping trip. Just needed a soft bed and a hot shower, nothing fancy. El Rancho was fine for our needs.

Bishop Inn 1/5 Terrible I made a reservation for this facility the day before. When I arrived on the day, there was one employee there who told me, "It's not open at the moment. It's scheduled to reopen in August." I told them I had made a reservation, but they said it had been refunded, so as long as it wasn't open there was nothing I could do so I booked another facility. The accommodation fee was deducted from my credit card, what a careless company Expedia is. Selling a facility that isn't open and then conducting a survey on top of that. Please refund my money immediately.

Basic motel needs better wifi

El Rancho Hotel is centrally located, and the staff was responsive. If they want to get better reviews, they need better wifi, especially since their TV options were dependent on wifi!

The stay was alright for the cost of the facility. I only stayed one night. You would want to bring your own soap. I would have liked curtains on the windows as it was very bright with the blinds. Within walking distance of Main Street.
