CherylUnited StatesI got to stay at the El Rancho finally
I am from Williston, Moved 38 years ago. El Rancho was one of the classiest hotels back then. It’s just starting to look run down on the outside where we stayed. The front looked great!

MichaelUnited StatesWe didn't stay because the place was horrible!
The lobby and restaurant looked very nice.
One of my two rooms hadn't been cleaned, the other had stains on the comforter. The place didn't feel safe or welcoming at all. The young lady at the desk was not pleased to…

Zimmer war sauber, groß und das Bett bequem. Bad war auch groß und ok, nur dass es keinen Toilettendeckel gab, fand ich seltsam.

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about El Rancho Hotel
What time is check-in and check-out at El Rancho Hotel?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does El Rancho Hotel allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at El Rancho Hotel?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does El Rancho Hotel have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does El Rancho Hotel have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at El Rancho Hotel?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book El Rancho Hotel?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
