Traveler beware…. Carry a CO monitor.
Carry a CO monitor with you if staying in the older section of the hotel. Our room was above the kitchen vents and paired with drafty windows my husband and I both ended up in the ER for the entire night and next day. (Even the ER staff asked where we were staying and specifically if in the older section, so this must be a common occurrence). We only slept in the room from 9:00pm until 12:00am when we had to make our way to the local hospital. The hotel did reach out via message and stated they would refund our room but that never happened. Also, don’t attempt to order food at the bar we sat there for over 30 mins never to be offered even a water. Place did look cool for what it’s worth.

A wonderful old hotel. It was very crowded and the heat had been turned on for the winter, even though it was warm outside. The parking lot is in disrepair

Extremely friendly staff and room was great. Great historical hotel. Didn't have A/C so it was difficult to sleep in hot room. Even with window wide open and fan on, circulation in room was not very good. If there was A/C, I would have given 5 stars for comfort.

Worth a try
Wanted to try El Rancho based on reviews and historical relevance. Wasn’t disappointed. Very unique. Sorry no ghosts. Room is small. Bathroom very small but generous size shower. Had dinner and breakfast at property. A bit better than ok. But a lot of selections. Went to bar after check in for excellent margaritas. Bar selections were impressive. Lots of Hollywood history here.

Cool old hotel and a Route 66 icon. Well kept and clean. Large rooms but tiny bathrooms. But that's to be expected in older hotels and not a problem for able-bodied persons. Great breakfast in the restaurant. The balcony was really relaxing to enjoy. Security walks the parking lot at all times, so I'm not sure what that means. I didn't see anything to be concerned about.

Room was smaller than what you would find in downtown Tokyo micro hotel and I paid extra for "deluxe" room. Bump around like a pinball and forget bathroom... As a bonus stay here if you enjoy seeing homeless wander parking lot

I like unique hotels and El Rancho is a gem. Interesting history, restaurant with good food and beer selection, and comfortable room. Gift shop. Everyone I dealt with was professional and friendly. Got a great night sleep and explored old Gallup. Will return!
