Fantastic place to stay! Love the decor and the flamingo theme throughout the property. Staff was very attentive via text. Rooms were clean and spacious. No issues with parking - did one night of street parking and one night in one of their spots.

If you need very little out of your motel, this is the space to stay. Much better accommodation compared to people I was working with. I was able to do my work, eat meals and sleep comfortably with little worry. Highly recommend!

A great little place to stay for a couple of nights. The only thing missing was a USB outlet to charge my phone. Other than that, everything was as advertised.

El Rancho - The property is convenient and walkable to most of the tourist areas in Coronado The staff was accessible but out of the way and went out of their way to ensure a smooth check-in, the rooms and motel is very personal. Having a old cottage feel but still updated Will definitely stay again if in the area

Didn't like the remote passive off-site check-in process. No personnel to address problems or issues. Cleanliness of room was questionable and housekeeping didn't even make up the bed. We noticed housekeeper rinsing out cups used in the room with the garden house which raises doubts with the cleaning and upkeep of the room. Overall property felt like a Motel-6 like accomodations. The room was extremely narrow and small unlike what is protrayed in the website photos. Very disappointed in the stay. Going to post this dissatisfaction on Yelp and Google.

Location was great for my trip. The staff was excellent, very helpful and nice. My room lacked amenities that would have been nice such as a plastic cups and the shower did not have any place to sit your soap or shampoo. Overall, it was fine and I would stay there again.
