Great stay! The property is thoughtfully maintained, our room was decorated with style & practicality, parking was conveniently close to the room, the room was quiet, it was a safe area, and there was a coffee/bakery/deli place just down the street. Lots to love at El Rancho!
What a wonderful place to rest our heads after a long day of driving! The rooms were so clean and cozy and there was a brewery and a coffee shop a block away so we could easily grab dinner when we got into town, and the a coffee/breakfast as we headed out the next morning. I would definitely stay there again!
The place had a relaxing vibe that I needed with a clean room, clean private bathroom, and awesome air conditioning.short walk to bakery coffee shop in the morning.
Thanks for a awesome stay.
The room was clean and spacious even for 3 people! The grounds were great for an outdoor BBQ which was greatly appreciated. The benches outside of the rooms were very comfortable for reading or taking in the surrounding mountains and evening stars and planets. A bit pricey, but very nice.
The room was clean and the bed was semi comfortable minimal decor the shower was very tiny with no shower curtain. But for the price we made it work. But would I stay there again ? Probably not

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Simple motel but clean and close to everything. The staff is amazing and the place is very clean.
I have a small room with just the queen, but it was extremely comfortable clean and had everything I needed easy parking close to everything would definitely stay here again.
Now as a traveler and no longer a resident of Bishop, we found your upgrades cheerful and very comfortable. The service was exceptional and the staff were nicely inviting. We will definitely include a stay at El Rancho the next time we are traveling in your area. We would not hesitate to recommend a stay at El Rancho to anyone.
Older motel, small room, but bed was comfortable and room and bathroom were both clean.

Clean room, easy parking, comfortable bed.
Easy walk to restaurants.
We recommend 1903 Taphouse.
Refrigerator made noise
We couldn’t figure out the tv. No directions available
Stephanie was great! Check in was easy and quick.We appreciated her help.
The room was clean and quiet. Parking was right in front of the room and that made it easy to unload and load the car.
We were able to get off the road and relax.
This is our second stay here and both stays were wonderful. We will definitely look to stay here again in the future.
