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.

Such a cute redone historic hotel. The decor is so charming and intentional. You can tell they care about making your experience enjoyable. There is a night security guard who make lots of rounds and made sure we got to our vehicle safely after dinner. Comfortable bed. Some road noise. Train nearby. Very charming place. I’m glad that we got a chance to stay here.

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.
