One of our all-time favorite hotels. If you don't love El Rancho, you don't love the American West.

It's a really neat place to stay - like being in a museum. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was very good.

May look like your average hotel from the outside, BUT ITS NOT! Staff are not only helpful but appear to like doing what they’re up to. It shows! They appear happy. Clean displays, rooms, common areas. And did I mention the food? Great! Thank you !

The room was really cool, decorated with a bunch of things belonging to the old-time Route 66 theme. It was in great condition and clean. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in that area!

Iconic spaghetti western hotel where all the classic western movie stars stayed while filming in New Mexico. Recently upgraded rooms are fun with retro furnishings. We stayed in the James Cagney room

We loved our stay at Hotel El Rancho. The lobby was so beautiful and welcoming, plus the history of this place is so interesting. We enjoyed all the special touches and historically western decor. Our dinner n the restaurant was delicious. We would love to stay again sometime.

Property has been renovated and the rooms are great! Worked out great for our family. The history of the hotel is really interesting as well. My only complaint was the rooms were slightly dirty and there were some cobwebs. Note that the family suite does not have a microwave or bathtub (if you have little kids). Overall positive stay and I would return.
