This is not a fancy place, it IS clean, quiet and close to everything. The price is right and I loved it. You need to be aware that you either make your own ice in the frig or bring a bag in. It has all you need but no frills. The wonderful Lupe runs the place and she is very delightful. I hope to stay there many more times.

This is an awsome place to stay. The small, quiet motel is located in walking distance to everything. From modern furniture, the super nice staff, to the georgious court yard... wow!
I would recommend this motel to anyone who wants a clean room with modern flair.

The El Rancho motel on Coronado island is quite small and very quaint. It has been recently remodeled. This is not the Ritz, but it also costs a fraction of the upper level hotels on the island. Lupe is an old school charming lady. I will definitely stay at the El Rancho if I visit again.

We found this motel by accident. Our friends moved away from Coronado a few years ago, and we wanted to stay there for two days on our trip in 2006. We found this wonderful motel, and on our trip March 2008 we`ll stay there again! No more words are needed! We love it! service: 1A - Comfortable: 1A-Location: 1A

We stayed here for one night and it was awful, the bathroom was not clean, there was actually clumps of curly hair on the floor and when I complained they said they would take care of it right away. When we got back to our room they clearly had been in there but the hair had just been moved around, gross! I then just decided to wear my shoes the ...

We were there for the Homecoming of my son's ship from Iraq. We had a very early flight and decided to take a nap before dinner. We had just got under the covers when our door opened. Lupe did not even knock! She said she was checking the light switch - yeah right! We padlocked our luggage when we left the room.

The place was very small, but clean. It was the cheapest place on the island, though.

I had lived in Coronado for years and more recently moved out of the area. I came back to visit friends. I had heard that the El Rancho was remodeled. My room was very small. The first thing I noticed was that there were no spreads on the beds just white sheets. The room I was in was tiled on the lower half of the room and painted on the upper ...

This little but quaint motel is perfect for the bargain hunter. Clean, central to all food and entertainment-even within walking distance and a very friendly helpful hostess.
We would definitely visit again!

El Rancho was a very comfortable, clean and affordable place to stay on Coronado. It was so convenient to everywhere on the island and San Diego. The lady who runs it, Lupe, was just as sweet as she could be. We really enjoyed the whole vacation and the motel.
