We only spent 2days and 1 nite but it was great. It’s closer to where we were going. I wouldn’t mind staying at this place again if ever we needed a place to stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful especially Ms Angie at the front desk.

Moving Trip
Our stay at El Rancho was great. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. The room was clean and a short distance from anything we needed, such as the BART station and the airport. We were there for 4 days helping a friend move and it was a great place to rest after a long drive.

Well place
Looks old building but well maintained, and clean; a beat noisy due to train, but quite place due large garden. Only might need addition on breakfast buffet like as cheese.

Older hotel, but clean.
Decent hotel, older but seemed clean. Staff was nice. AC works well but is loud. Beds are decent not too hard. Breakfast is okay but not alot of options. They have some repairs going on that makes parking lot hard to navigate. Lots of restaurants, shopping near by.

This hotel is old, moldy and musty. The upside is that it is inexpensive, offers free breakfast and is close to nice dining options.
