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.

Tiny rooms
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

Real gem
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!

I got to stay in a newly renovated room at El Rancho and all of the updates and details, like the Cadillac in the wall, the red rocks mural, and the record player and checker board floor were thoughtful and fun. I’d have stayed longer if I could! Great that it was dog-friendly, and I saw many other dog owners hanging around the lobby, so I was in good company with my dog. Had dinner in the bar and it was fine. About what I expected. I would definitely come back here next time I make this drive. A perfect little slice of Route 66.

Road trip
We arrived at 2:50, realize check in is at 3, however it took the clerk awhile to come to desk, then she said you need to come back at 3:05, granted you could see housekeeping staff in break room. And she was not very friendly. I did not get her name. We have stayed at property before, and have had a wonderful experience in checkin before.

This was a nostalgic visit on our Rt 66 trip. We had to stay here. Surprisingly it was updated to some degree and clean. I needed to freeze something and they accommodated me. The restaurant was very good too. The rooms are very small but we loved it. Stayed next door to John Waynes room and across from Doris Day.

Underwhelming
The A/C never seemed to cool the room and ran all night. We opened the window because it was cooler outside but then someone started smoking a cigarette right by our room. We couldn’t get the TV to work either because the internet was so bad. The bartender was also underwhelming and needed training how to be more service oriented and friendly. The food was fine and everything else was ok. Comfy bed.
