For all the motels at this end of Orange Ave it is the best. Quaint courtyard and lots outdoor seating. If you are a walker or rent bikes the 1.2 miles to the main Coronado beach area is a breeze. It’s a motel and you get all you can expect with some quirky charm included. Staff incredibly friendly and accommodating. Beds comfy. It’s an older property like most nearby but maintained and clean. Second stay and we will be back.
I love this cute little place. So convenient on the main drag with very helpful staff on cleaning and check-in/out. You have to find parking if you don’t get one of the two spots out front but there’s a few in the back which I’d recommend if you don’t want struggle with pulling out into the traffic. Overall, cute decor (love the flamingos!) and a bright cheery vibe. Will return!

Super cute property! Easy check in! Perfect location and close to the beach. We always had a place to park too. Only thing I would have liked would have been an ice machine. There was one in the lobby but not sure it worked. The water kept running. The ice wasn’t already made. Other than that, it was a nice stay!

I've been there yearly for a conference in Coronado, I just need a place to stay 2 nights. Cute little rooms, no frills. It is very conveniently located on Orange blvd. Not as cheap as it used to be, I understand times have changed, but they missed cleaning the first day, so a little disappointing.
El Rancho Motel is a very quaint and quiet place and very well kept. The check in process was easy and I would go back again! ;-)
