This place was so pretty and lots of history. I felt like back in the past. I was wanting to use the elevator seemed historical but it was out of order. The rooms were name after actors. So much areas for pics. They have a convenient bar and restaurant

Second time at this property and It has become my favorite place to stay with my family while in this area. I like the decor, the historic appeal and the restaurant that I think has the best steak and enchiladas in the area and comfortable beds. The staff has been very nice on both visits and very responsive to our needs. The area away from the property is not an ideal location for much but the El Rancho hotel brightens up the location. We will definitely be back again.

Great throwback hotel. I love to see old things restored and the property owners hit a home run here. The rooms are a fantastic mix of old and new. Often one of the big negatives to old properties is a dearth of outlets for the tech in our lives. Not so at the El Rancho. The lobby is great and the atmosphere charming even if it’s a bit kitschy. The restaurant is decent, not great, but good for Gallup, NM. I will be back.

A wonderful property with so much character and charm. It is definitely a must see. Only dislike was the tiny bathroom. It was fine for the one night stay. Employees are extremely helpful and Leroy the security guard is a gem.

A hotel with a gimmick, albeit with some quirks
Hotel is definitely an experience. Many pictures of old actors and actresses, old Southwest vibes to it. Very charming. All the staff we dealt with were very pleasant. The restaurant bar has decent food and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her 2 drinks she ordered. The beds were decent and the room was a good size and clean. While depending on the person it may add to the charm, the hotel is old. Of the 4 windows in our room, only 1 would stay open unassisted. However with the good, comes the down side. I’m not sure if it was our room only, but the bathroom is TINY! So small that you had to sit on the toilet at an awkward angle. Also, the shower was labeled backwards, so it took 3 showers before we figured out that turning the knob to H causes cold water and the C is for hot. Overall, it has a charm to it that reminds you it’s on Route 66 and it’s “vintage” in a good way.

Hotel itself was full of history. Room small, fairly comfortable. Couldn't get water in shower to heat up so it was lukewarm at best. Well stocked gift shop. Food at restaurant was okay.

The El Rancho is an awesome historical hotel with an amazing lobby that shows off the early western movie industry that dominated this picturesque area of New Mexico so many decades ago. The location is a bit sketchy for walking after dark, but the hotel restaurant and bar are wonderful! We stayed in the Ronald Reagan room (Presidential Room) which was beautiful and spacious. The bathroom was decorated in gorgeous tile and also had a record player with vinyls from the 40’s and 60’s. Highly recommend if you are looking for a unique experience!

I love this hotel. Was stuck here for three nights during the historic snowstorm in New Mexico and Colorado. Reasonable rate. Restaurant and bar were great. Staff was very friendly. Room was small, but great. I will be back.
