El Rancho Inn & Suites

I stay at El Rancho because of the price point. I am a refinery/turnaround worker. So, value and cleanliness is first and foremost. Nick, the awesome manager, always makes my stay enjoyable. Bay area prices are high. So finding this gem was perfect for a reasonable place to stay. Not fancy, but clearly an affordable alternative. Decent location with a Starbucks and Subway within walking distance. A nice gas station a block away. Vallejo, but especially a trendy area, but I find it enjoyable. I mind my own business and love and let live. So, staying here is fine. I often travel alone. So, my friends, stay in Vallejo, then travel about discovering the Bay Area as I dowithout spending an atm and a leg for a place to lay your head down.

My husband and I have stayed at this no frills motel. It is clean, comfortable, new carpet comfortable beds, fridge/microwave, nice shower and above all the management is terrific. There is one way out and one way in. Very safe. Very affordable. NO PETS. No exceptions, other than that, I highly recommend this motel. I have always felt safe. For a refinery worker, can't beat the location. Price.....well, it's great. It is not the lap of luxury but it is all you need when you are on the road. No pool or hot tub. Clean sheets and towels and the Nick will take the best care of you. I will stay here when on business.

We prefer Hotels rather than Motels because we don't like our room opening directly to the outdoors. Hotels seem safer to us and thought the room was neat and clean and the staff was friendly, we probably will choose another location next time in town. The Breakfast Buffet was outstanding. Safe Travels.

Due to immense traffic delays from Nascar, trip to Eureka had to find something closer at 9pm. Hotel offered a 2 room suite for US$200.||||Would not take Amex, paid cash - did not receive a receipt. Rooms had dirty floors, kitchen area was dirty and old. Power supply was very dated (2-prog plugs) and we could not use a 3-prong plug. Being involved in Facilities Management, Electrical work looked DIY.||||While the owner was pleasant, certainly not worth $80 for the night (let alone $200) and taking 2 rooms at the motorway lodges nearby ($60-70 each) would have been better.||||Feel this is better as a "cheap residential" option for San Francisco workers who cannot afford San Fran rent and may get a monthly deal.

We booked two rooms the day before we planned on visiting Six Flags. We could not find any vacant rooms at the more upscale hotels. The rooms are very small but come with microwave, refrigerators, and free wi-fi (amenities we paid extra for at motel six five days earlier). The room is decorated with old furnature (think 70s), the wall paper under the fresh pain is peeling and lifting in spots. Towels are limited and the linens on the bed are sufficient for a warm summers evening (definity wish I had brought my own blanket!). All in all despite the run down apperance the rooms were clean, no detectable oder of pets or smoke, the bed was rather comfortable, and it was a place to rest before our big day at six flags. Do not stay here if you are overly picky about apperances. If like u
