Really cool historical place to stay and priced slightly less than all the franchised hotels three blocks north on I-40. This is the place to stay in Gallup
Very historic old western hotel. Interior very clean and well kept. Exterior could use a bit of work, Nice room. Historical info on celebrities who stayed there filming westerns during the golden age of Hollywood. Authentic tasty NM southwestern cuisine. Quality gift shop.
We were so excited to book Hotel El Rancho and it absolutely did NOT disappoint. The staff was friendly, the room was super clean and we loved all the nostalgia. The restaurant was even great! We had dinner and breakfast! 10/10 would be thrilled to stay again!
My wife and I loved everything about this hotel. The pictures and lobby were amazing and the staff was so friendly and kind. We are looking forward to our next visit.
We stayed in the motel annex and the room was the perfect nostalgia trip, so clean and the bed was so comfortable! Can’t wait to stay here again if we’re in the area.
This property was such a wonderful surprise! We had no idea when we booked that it was filled with so much nostalgia, history, and unique movie memorabilia, it made the experience even more special. The rooms are charming, and the beds are incredibly comfortable, which made it easy to relax after a long day. The on-site restaurant was also fantastic. If you’re someone who appreciates history and character, you will absolutely love this hotel!
