    I cant understand how this facility has a 10 rating. In apparently a very dangerous neighbourhood mecessitating checking in and out behind windowed counters not letting the client to enter the office.Everything in the room worn out, not renovated for decades!

    The location despite being in a very degraded neighbourhood is conveniently located close to the airport. I cant understand how this facility has a 10 rating. In apparently a very dangerous neighbourhood mecessitating checking in and out behind windowed counters not letting the client to enter the office.Everything in the room worn out, not renovated for decades!

    The bathroom door and walls were very dirty, made me think twice about showering. The bed spread had cigarette burns on it. The area was nice, but people were smoking weed rught out their door in front of management. Housekeeping cleaned my room when was asked not to. Overall a dirty place, i wouldn't have stayed but it was last minute and close to where i needed to be.

    I would not prefer to come here again the room was fair but the bed was very uncomfortable and sank in outdated. It was a car parked behind my car half the night which made me very uncomfortable. They did not have enough towels loud music was playing outside. I will never go here again I checked out early it was so uncomfortable.

    The outside made it appear to be nice.. the room was old and outdated. Carpet was stained, broken dresser, dingy towels, blanket was worn old and looked like if you slept on it you might catch something. They had a hollow phone 🤔... the purpose of that. Go figure. I would never book again

    A good night's sleep, free parking, good WiFi, refrigerator, microwave and TV. There was an abundance of convenient electrical outlets, but no USB charging ports or alarm clock. Towels were old and worn, but typical of a budget motel. Convenient to LAX, 405 and Harbor freeways. This is obviously not a luxury hotel, nor does it pretend to be, but it is safe, convenient and operated by a competent staff. Excellent breakfast options within 1 mile (look up Chips Diner and Tata's cafe). You'll be glad that El Rancho Inn does not offer a typical hotel breakfast.

    Was noisy because of construction which started at 8am. Noisy with traffic. They charge for ice, no breakfast included, just so you know. One side of the bed was partially collapsed, mattress just needs replacing. Located in more industrial area.

    Our stay at El Rancho Inn was very comfortable. Check in was fast and friendly. Our room was clean and spacious and the bed was very comfortable. It had all the amenities you need, iron, dryer, refrigerator that kept our food cold and a microwave. The shower was nice and hot. There are a lot a places to eat nearby. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

    The hotel was fine for a quick one night stay but I’d hate to stay more than one night. Bed was rock hard, shower was loud as heck and the shower curtain appeared moldy. Staff was okay, a bit rude and very hard to understand.

    The room was vacuum and cleaned. I went to take a shower and half the plastic shower curtain was molded. The mold is on the inside of the shower. These curtains are cheap, about $10 less, so I don't understand why they just don't replace it.

    Only negatives I can think of is the windows don't have a sheer curtain under, so when you open the main curtains for light someone outside can easily see into your room. Also parking is very limited so be wary about parking early near the end of the day.

    overall the room was clean, as in clean sheets and bathroom, but there was a bit of a funky smell of body Oder in one area of the room. The neighborhood was not what I expected..on the rough side, unattractive.
