Loved the decor and style of the Hotel. It has alot of character. Loved the History, the restaurant's food was terrific, Staff was helpful and nice. The gift shop was great too. Had alot of choices to buy handmade native gifts. Rooms were comforable and had great water pressure.
The restaurant kept sending us away to come back because it was 10 minutes too early to serve lunch. Would
ve been nice to at least sit for a drink while we waited.

Every single staff member was genuinely nice and seemed to love their job. The hotel is beautiful and full of history. Leroy was great at sharing that history.
Rooms are tiny but that is to be expected in such an old hotel.

Het was jammer dat we niet in het hotel zelf zaten, maar de motelkamer was ook prima. De kamer was leuk ingericht in route 66 style, en was op zich prima. Het is wel aan de krappe kant voor drie personen en bagage.

Bathroom small, but nothing you can do about it.

An historic gem! I have been going here for years...and not that long ago it still had all the charm, but was definitely dumpy. Worth it...but now REALLY worth it. SO much fun! And OMG the green chili stew is just to die for, as was the margarita!
The bathroom is tiny, which is fine, but the toilet does not have a seat top...this sounds silly but it is such close quarters that it is really easy to knock things - even your towels which are hanging over it - into the toilet without a lid to close. I am kind of a spaz, but not that much of a spaz. A toilet lid would be good.
4.5 / 5.0
Nous avons apprécié l’authenticité et l’histoire familiale du lieu. L’ambiance et la décoration de l’hôtel nous plonge dans la grande époque des stars d’Hollywood.
Nous aurions apprécié un petit réfrigérateur dans la chambre.

No aircon. Customer service very casual.
1.5 / 5.0
No breakfast offered. Inroom coffee was awful and we left as soon as possible to et coffee offsite.
Bathroom was minisucle. Could barely stand in it without having your face in sink and you legs hitting toilet bowl. No fan, worn towels. Dirty carpets. Awful stay.

Super Lage an der Route 66.
Das Hotel hat viel Charme und Geschichte.
Sauber und freundliches Personal.
Liebevoll eingerichtete Zimmer.
Einzig, eins von zwei Betten war extrem durchgelegen, war schon eher wie eine Hängematte, aber man konnte darin schlafen.

Een zeer bijzondere plek om te overnachten, gezien de rijke geschiedenis ervan en de mooie sfeer.
Als de douche warm was geweest, had ik een 10 gegeven.

Hyggelig betjening, kule rom
Området er veldig belastet, mange skumle folk, tog som tuter forferdelig midt på natten

We loved the charm and history of the location.
We found the “deluxe king” room and bathroom small. The carpet needed cleaning in our opinion!

Hotel caratteristico sulla route 66. Camere piccole ma confortevoli. Molto pulito. Aria funzionante. Macchina cffe in stanza
Zona non troppo sicura.

This is a historic gem, that weaves in together western culture, native American history and cinema. A really unique place to stay. The room was big enough, and comfortable. Staff was great, especially the restaurant staff. Burgers are great and have very funny names. A must stay + eat when in Gallup.
Room carpet could use a deeper cleaning. Bathroom is a bit small.

Couldn’t use the balcony

This hotel is a kitschy replica of history! From the marquis sign to the old heavy saloon style doors to the staircase and the fireplace and the amazing old 1920s elevator (with the accordion gate!) - I was thrilled to be staying at this amazing hotel that was an epically frozen establishment from old times past. Front desk staff was amazing and informative.
It’s not your “average” modern hotel. Some folks might not like that but to me, that was part of the charm.
4.0 / 5.0
Great vibe definitely better option than your standard chain hotel. Staff were great.
Room was small but it is an old hotel. Breakfast restaurant staff were not as attentive as evening staff.
4.5 / 5.0
This is a unique, very cool place. The owners have given it real character. The hotel restaurant was great and perfect for travelers who neither want fast food or to search for a good meal. There is also a full bar on property that looked like a great place for someone less travel weary.
Is there any hotel off I-40 that doesn’t have traffic noise?
4.5 / 5.0
Love the older decor and history of the place.
Extremely small bathroom. However to be expected either the original hotel. Still a great place.

The Hotel El Rancho is wonderful. Walking into the lobby is like walking back in time to the heyday of Route 66. The room was large and comfortable. The decor reflects the time when the El Rancho was used by movie stars filming in the area around Gallup. The rooms are named for the various stars who stayed at the hotel.
The only thing I didn't like was the size of the bathroom, it was tiny.
