The atmosphere and decoration of the main El Rancho building was amazing and the theming for the route 66 motel room (in which we stayed) was great. At the time of booking we unaware that selecting the route 66 themed suite would result in you not actually staying the the main El rancho building. Food and drinks in the restaurant was good.
Negatives are the motel room was not supplied with a hairdryer, which when items such as a working record player was evenprovided, it seemed odd this basic item was missing.
The room itself suffered badly from noise from the hotel car park and the main road. Don't expect for it to get quiet until close to midnight and if you are a light sleeper you will struggle. The door to the room had a noticable gap between the door and frame which i believe contributed to this issue. Considering the room was high spec, well themed, this issue was annoying.
Parking was also an issue. It is very busy with both hotel guests and people visiting/eating at the restaurant so it was a struggle to find parking.
