  1. Can you use the word "RV" and Resort Spa in the same context?
    If yes then the El Rancho motel must be elevated to the Ritz-Carlton of the west.
    Nice to have a laugh on such a depressing week!

    1. This probably helps explain it:

      Shower facility with 20 individual bathrooms/showers

      From their website.

      There's probably not enough room for "Ritz-Carlton" on the El Rancho marquee.
