You will love it Here

I can’t say enough about how happy my stay was. From the moment I came through the door the staff (family run) were warm and inviting. The room was great, clean and restful. Location is within walking distance for groceries or restaurants. If your looking for a affordable place the ElRancho is the place to be

3 night stopover in Yuma

The El Rancho Motel in Yuma was really good, clean and comfortable, in a good location with some bars and restaurants within walking distance. Downtown Yuma and the old prison were just a short drive away.

It's a cool older hotel, have stayed here for almost 30 years. Too bad the pool is no longer in operation. If you like the old school motel style place, this is it.
