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.

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.

Friendliest staff ever . Always strived to help me .

The AC didn’t work It was on a railroad track

Fantastic historic hotel that has maintained all of its character. Very accommodating staff. Offered a room in the old section. Allow our small dog.

What's not to like.

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.

Very historic on hotel side, great decor on the motel side.

No aircon. Customer service very casual.

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.

the atmosphere gift shop n restaurant location

Fun place to spend the night. Hollywood history buffs should definitely stop here

Loved the western decor, gift shop and restaurant on property. Management texted me the day after I checked in to see if everything was to my liking.

War das beste, was ich auf meiner Route 66 seit Chicago erlebt habe - einfach unübertrefflich!

Hyggelig betjening, kule rom

Området er veldig belastet, mange skumle folk, tog som tuter forferdelig midt på natten

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

Zona non troppo sicura.

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!

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.

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.

I loved the updated hotel but the old western vibe

Couldn’t use the balcony

On s'est retrouvé en plein western , ambiance , décoration , personnel d'acceuil tout était magnifique. Emplacement parfait , petit déjeuner ( non inclu dans le prix de la chambre ) copieux et délicieux servi avec gentillesse sourire et professionalisme . Endroit à recommander sans retenue.

Chambre ultra propre tout confort petit bémol un rien petite 2 m2 de plus aurait été parfait .

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.

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?

Love the older decor and history of the place.

Extremely small bathroom. However to be expected either the original hotel. Still a great place.

Love the ambiance; the food was amazing; the staff were friendly and helpful; the room was clean and comfortable

The gym needs updating- old equipment; no bike

everything, the whole experience

nothing

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.

A great old style western hotel with great charm and charisma. We discovered Hotel El Rancho during our cross country trip last year and now we make a stay part of our plans. Pet friendly! There is so much to see and read in the lobby alone … spending hours reviewing the exhibits and items in the two story lobby. If you are a fan of authentic Native American art and jewelry, there is a shop in the hotel as well as countless stores/trading posts in the area to browse and bargain for the real thing. Last but not least they have a very nice menu at the restaurant … we’ve eaten there twice and it was excellent. Other favorites … gift shop, the Hollywood history, the lobby’s huge fireplace

Nothing to say … just wish I could stay there more than once a year.

Hotel amb molt d'encant i autenticitat. És com viatjar en el temps. El personal és super servicial i amable

Res

beautiful lobby, the staff is the greatest asset this property has, from the check in until check out they greet you with a smile. check in, the lobby bar and restaurant.

needs an espresso machine at the restaurant

There is no doubt that this hotel is committed to its authenticity. The foyer area and upstairs balcony give off a wonderful Western movie ambiance. You genuinely feel like you have stepped back in time. Our room was also nicely decorated along the same theme with various accoutrements on the walls etc Staff were friendly and helpful throughout

Our room was sited directly off the lobby so every time other guests travelled to or from their room they went past our door. We could also hear every visit to the large ice machine, the piano music after we had retired to bed and the conversation in the room next door. Whilst we understand the drive to be authentic the bathroom was basically a closet. My husband is 6ft 3 and it was a real struggle.

The location was great just off the highway with lots of parking. The ambiance was also wonderful with a huge fireplace and a warm fire. Perfect after a long drive in freezing temps. The bar area was nice and they let us take our drink to the fireplace to enjoy the fire.

The food at the restaurant was overpriced and not great. The servers were very nice and attentive, but we had a problem with one of our dishes and the cook came out to let us know he cooked it correctly. It was a bit passive aggressive and not necessary.

It is a classic hotel and very nicely decorated… been here before and will come back again!

The bathroom was very small…

Nostalgic and charming

Small bathroom but this isn’t a deal breaker as I don’t hangout there any longer than necessary.
