Pros

Free airport shuttle service available

Professional property management

Children under 12 can stay at no additional cost

Multiple dining options within 1640.4 ft, including Dakota Farms Family Restaurant and Meg-A-Latte Coffee House

Cons

15.5 miles distance to Williston Basin International Airport

Limited recreational amenities beyond the fitness center

“El Rancho's location is a definite plus; being next door to what's considered Williston's best restaurant, plus its proximity to shopping, make it a practical choice; inside, I particularly liked the art deco lobby. I found the on-site Williston Brewery Company another strong point, and the friendly staff only enhanced my stay.”
