The rooms were old, the floors creaked, I didn’t even see there was a television until the last day! The bathroom was small but the shower was huge! The elevator laws right out of the 1930s with a gate and old time doors! This place is old and comfy and I loved every second I was there! I’d take this old hotel over a new one any day! Great food and service in the dining room! Lovely, lovely!

Property was cool but the elevator was broken which was not great considering we had 1 huge suitcase for our family of 4. Also the single pane windows kept the room chilly all night even though we cranked the heat higher than normal. Tv service in the room wasn’t great either. Overall, still a cool place that was unique and all, but for us the more important things were just ok. We went through the gift shop but don’t buy anything and did not eat at the restaurant but it was busy.

When you're coming or going from anywhere in the southwest, you are bound to go through Gallup and when you do, stay at El Rancho. This big, beautiful old historic hotel with so much richness is a sight to behold. The big old fashioned rooms in the main building, or the restored motel rooms in the adjacent building, invoking the romance and beauty of route 66, you can't go wrong either way. If you can, visit over the holidays when they have a giant fire going in the fireplace in the lobby, and a tree probably 25 ft tall and all the decorations up in the big, rustic communal lobby. Enjoy a cocktail out there from the bar, or read a book in a comfortable chair and just be part of it all. Great service. Really nice folks. And you're staying in an Historical gem.

The property is located in a noisy area with lots of motorists and motorcycles. There are transient people in the area. This is an historic property which was a movie making hub in the 1930s and 40s. It is still operational as a museum to that time. Updates needed although it is clean and the people are nice.

We love legacy properties and El Rancho has been a favorite of ours for 30 years. Regrettably, this visit was a disappointment. The food and dining service was sub-par in the extreme. New Mexico cooking is an art. In this case, it was a great example of what to do wrong.

We were driving across country on Route 66 and I am so glad we were able to stay here. I love that it isn’t a chain hotel and has so much character. We arrived VERY late, but staff had reached out via text and were ready to welcome us for our stay. I wish we had more time to enjoy the ambiance of the hotel. Each room has a theme and while the door to the room was dated, the room was VERY comfortable and modern. The beds and pillows were so comfortable! The bathroom was smaller than modern hotels, but had everything we needed and the shower was hot and enjoyable.
