Charming historic hotel! Clean, comfortable, and cozy. The southwestern decor and architecture are a treat, and El Rancho shines during the holidays with their gorgeous tall tree in the lobby, and thoughtful decorations throughout. We would definitely stay again!

Bed was comfortable, but they are pretty dated, no A/C and rooms are quite small. Building is pretty unique from the typical hotel.

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.

It’s the iconic place to stop in Gallup and I’m glad we did. The Vibe and memorabilia are really fun. Things to note..it’s old, so don’t expect huge rooms and the bathrooms are really tiny. Also the elevator doesn’t always work so if you have issues with mobility then look elsewhere. Staff were friendly and polite. The area outside is definitely pretty bleak at night but I didn’t feel unsafe parking it’s more upsetting to see the poor homeless people in the freezing weather.

The hotel is old and the rooms are small and need to have new furniture and decoration. The entrance hall is beautiful and has a lot of character. However, for the price and location, I was expecting much more.

Fan upstairs above my room #12, was on last night.Dont know if anyone was above us. Parking lot needs to be fixed. I use a walker and it was difficult but I made it. Other than that, I enjoyed the hospitality and Alexa the bartender. Great service.

Decent overnight stay.
This hotel is "unique" - it is a historic hotel with lots of character. It is old and even though we got an executive king room (upgraded from a standard king), the room was tiny with barely any space to move around and it was hot. The AC was not working and the room stayed around 78 degrees. We opened the window to cool it down, which worked, but had to close it at when we went to bed as the window did not have a screen and we did not want to risk critters coming in at night. The bathroom has been remodeled and it was clean with all the amenities you would expect, but it was tiny. It was a good place to stay the night, but we would not stay for more than just one night. Check in was easy and the front desk staff friendly, as was the server at the lounge.

I’ve stayed here several times, and the hotel itself is the attraction. Gallup isn’t the best place but the hotel is a gem. The facility is maintained impeccably and staff are top notch. The restaurant isn’t bad either. Get yourself a drink, sit in the grand lobby and soak it in.
