Property was great. Rooms were very clean and the hotel lobby was like stepping back in time and very interesting. The only downside was the area around was kind of sketchy , but the hotel has security constantly making rounds and we never felt unsafe.

I liked that you had a security guard at the door and making sure that you lock your car and just the security alone was awesome along with the staff .I stay at the El Rancho Hotel every time I'm in Gallup. I honestly wouldn't stay anywhere else. I also love the ambiance that you get when you walk into the lobby, it truly makes you feel at home. It is my go to place when I travel to the Midwest.

Friendly welcome on arrival, clean comfortable room. As stated on other reviews the rooms are tight especially if like us you have lots of luggage that can’t be left in your car. Loved looking at all the pictures of the stars that have stayed. Well worth a stay if you’re into the history of the hotel.
