The only real complaint I have is that the wifi is a bit shaky here and there, due to the construction and thickness of the walls, which is a great thing.
Other than that, the room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. I'd highly recommend this place, especially at the price point.
Thanks you to the staff and management.

The property looked line a magnet for lowlifes and drug users, general area looked run down. The "non smoking" room smelled of cigarettes. Other guests were also smoking rigjt out side the rooms in the hallway which just it worse with cigarette smoke. Front desk was terrible had to stand there and wait because the button to call for the attendant wasnt even working over all bad experience

I liked that it was close to our venue and inexpensive. I didn’t like that she (the front desk girl ) appeared to not have our reservation. She said about the girl in front us in like -oh this is our last reservation . I said that’s not possible here’s my confirmation # anyways I think she had other

It was over all good, I just needed a place to sleep one night. The property is totally outdated, the few repairs it has are poorly done.
During my stay the top lock got stuck and could not open the door. I called the front desk for assistance and 3 people came. One of them had to get in through the window to finally get the lock open. It was a difficult moment.

It reminded me of my deployment time in Iraq. Run down building,rat infested property. Im surprised they are passing inspection. I would much rather save that 💲💲and sleep at the park. Rooms were out dated and filthy..Sheets looked used up,bed looked re-made without changing to cleaner sheets/cover. I paid for a room i didnt feel comfortable staying the night in…Lesson learned,never will stay here ever again…

At 6:30 in am a monster truck warmed up outside my room .after 10 minuets revel the engine and left came back just as loud around 7 .complained to manager and she said “ that’s my boyfriend taking the kids to school” She very nicely changed our room at no extra charge but whole place can hear this. On weekends this dies ot happen, but at 7 a “gentleman” was in front of our door screaming into his phone in Spanish .my husband opened the door and said” we are sleeping ‘ he responded “ I’m working here” and went back to his phone call just as loud.On plus side room was clean bedding and towels good .if you are on a budge And ask if at dawn anyway or very hard if hearing go for it.

I can appreciate this place because it’s one of the lesser costing motels around… you pay for what you get right?… I like how I can just park my car right in front of my door and I can hear and see my ride most places you can’t do that due to parking structure

The attended had the office locked during the time of check-in. He just asked for my driver's license and credit card. He then slipped me the key and agreement and had me sign. The room was horrible. The carpet was torn. The shower faucet came off, and you had to Waite around 5 minutes for the water to warm up. The towel rack was rusted, and the bed sheets were stained. Besides all this the window of the bathroom had steal meshing. I wouldn't have paid more than $20 to stay here.

This place was revolting. Dirty, cigarette holes in bedspread and curtains, visible dirt. Missing drawer. Staying on light switches. Water in shower doesn't even turn off. Leading sink and toilet.

Staff was very nice. There was a bar nearby but it was quiet and there was a fence separating it. Other people staying there seemed nice and quiet.

File the El Rancho Motel under “How bad could it be?” From the welcome greeting of passing your drivers license through the bulletproof glass, the faulty locks, no security latch, pool filled with gravel, shattered shower tiles and towels that will scratch your car’s paint, this once grand dame of motels will make your head spin, as the refrain of “Stuck in Lodi Again” reverberates through your brain.

Room was very clean. Could've used a small table in the bathroom for toiletries. The permanent residents were quiet and price is most affordable. Location was ideal for where we needed to go.

Uncomfortable beds. Were told we could not have more than two towels. Noisy. Kids riding scooter back and forth on walkway in front of room. Everything old and worn.

You took our payment but since we got to you hotel late, we didn't get to stay. We had to look for and pay for another place to stay the night. So we paid you for nothing! No help! Not even a partial refund!

It was ok but i was not happy because they need more attention on how to keep it nice and clean. The covers of the bed had some stains and that spring box of had a hole like something got in there, there wasn't any soap to take a shower and a few things more. They need to put more attention on this things. Thank you.

Dirty, half roll of TP, no bath towels, no cups, ripped carpet and drapes, extremely small pillows. Ad said 2 rooms left but the whole place was almost empty except way in the back where there were people living, not over night rent. One had his tv on all night I actually put wet TP in ears to try to sleep. I put chair and table in front of door because it was not safe. I should have left and went somewhere else. Bad, bad night. Your reviews lied. Will not go there again or use your service.

There was no counter top, bugers on the wall, stains on the bedding, blood stains on the towel, light covers missing, I couldn't bring myself to use the shower, it's located on a frontage road with less than easy access and people hanging out in the parking lot.

Worst motel we have ever stayed at!! Lamps, refrigerator and microwave not even plugged in. When asked about this, I was told that's what owner wants to save $$. Many children living there, maybe rooms rented to low income families or those on assistance?? Kids Making noise, riding scooters and bikes all around rooms til late in evening. DONT STAY THERE FOR ANY REASON!!
Could not get enough hot water to take a shower, shower very ugly, broken tiles & literally 4foot by 4foot inside...whole room smelled so heavily of antiseptic we had to keep bathroom door closed so we could stand rest of room.

My stay at El Rancho was nice. Even though it was right next to the hwy 99 exit ramp. My room was very quiet. However, everything is outdated and somewhat resembles the construction of a jail. It was within a five minute drive from where I was visiting and the rates are reasonable.
