Top Watford City Hotel Reviews

El Rancho Hotel

El Rancho Hotel

8/10 Good
"Overall we are so thankful to the staff at this hotel. We were there due to a family emergency and they were very flexible in working with us, especially not knowing from day to day what to expect regarding departure. The more challenging part for them, which did impact guest services, was being short staffed especially on the weekend. However, if we needed clean linen all we needed to do was bring our dirty linen to the front desk and they would give us clean in return. The free breakfast was there every morning with good choices to make. Would we stay there again? Absolutely."

"I stayed here about three years ago. The free breakfast was so very good. So this time I was expecting the same. NO! The breakfast is no longer free. Sooooo very disappointed. They didn't even have juice. The purchase price is expensive. So you pay extra for this amenity and get nothing. I will not be staying here again."
