Tips from the community
Built in 1936 by the brother of famous movie director D.W. Griffith, the El Rancho Hotel was a home base for filmmakers capturing scenes from the Wild West. Located along the famous Route 66, the building can't be missed with its curious inscription across the front: "Charm of yesterday...Convenience of tomorrow." Today, the hotel is still in operation and is a fun way to catch a comfortable night's sleep on your route 66 road trip. Book early and you can stay in rooms named after its former famous guests.
