I’ve stayed here three times, it’s become something to look forward to when traveling through Gallup. Have stayed in some dumps in this town over the years, but never again. El Rancho all the way. Lovely rooms, friendly staff, great restaurant and bar, fascinating history. End a long day on the road with a drink and a book by the lobby fireplace. Brilliant. Will absolutely be back!
