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.

Basic motel needs better wifi

El Rancho Hotel is centrally located, and the staff was responsive. If they want to get better reviews, they need better wifi, especially since their TV options were dependent on wifi!

Liked: Amenities
It was clean and well kept. Decent decor inside. it Needed blackout curtains as it was pretty bright all night. There were some shady people hanging around in the courtyard which was unsettling. Parking was easy in front. No food amenities at the hotel. No one refilled our coffee.

The stay was alright for the cost of the facility. I only stayed one night. You would want to bring your own soap. I would have liked curtains on the windows as it was very bright with the blinds. Within walking distance of Main Street.
