I had a pleasant stay at El Rancho Inn before my flight from SFO. The shuttle service was very efficient, making my journey to the airport smooth. The rooms are well-designed and comfortable, but I found the breakfast offerings a bit lacking. Overall, it was a great value stay with easy access to the airport and a nice on-site restaurant.

The hotel is a convenient choice for travelers with its reliable airport shuttle and comfortable accommodations. The rooms were clean and cozy, although the breakfast options could use improvement, especially for those with dietary restrictions. While the check-in process was a bit rushed, the overall atmosphere was pleasant and the parking availability was definitely a plus for longer stays.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The staff were friendly and the shuttle service to the airport was convenient. However, the breakfast quality was very disappointing, and some areas of the hotel appeared worn and in need of maintenance. Overall, while it offers decent accommodations for a quick stay, improvements are needed in certain aspects to make it a better experience.

I had a good experience at the hotel due to its convenient location and cleanliness, but the shuttle service back from the airport was quite slow, which was frustrating after a long trip. The rooms were comfortable, and the staff was generally helpful, although the check-in process was a bit lengthy. I'd say it's a decent spot if you're just looking for a place to stay before a flight, but be prepared for potential wait times with the shuttle.

El Rancho Inn is a solid choice for travelers needing a comfortable stay near the airport without breaking the bank. The clean and spacious rooms provide a cozy atmosphere, and the helpful staff made our visit pleasant. While the breakfast was decent, it could offer a bit more variety. Also, some amenities felt a bit dated, but overall, it's a good place for those on a budget.
