Upon arrival a guest told us we needed to drive to another hotel to pick up our keys and there was no sign on the office door indicating that.
But overall a nice cozy place

Do not recommend
This place was incredibly disgusting. The moment we opened the door, we were hit with a wave of stench that was nearly unbearable. There were gnats in the room, on the table; we had to eat outside.

Check in was super easy. They don’t do late check-ins but you can get your key at nearby motel. Room was ok. You can see them trying to make it cute with small details but my biggest concern was the door. I couldn’t for the life of me get it to close/lock at first because the bolt wouldn’t go inside the plate. I basically had to slam it close to finally get it to work. Air conditioning worked well for a 95 degree day. Bed sheets were nice and soft but bed itself wasn’t the most comfortable. They had an ice machine right outside just wish they would protect the scoop a bit better. Could have been a bit cleaner but I did get a “cheaper” motel. Their sister hotel Trees motel has a fire pit for the evening which was cool but this lot was more spacious for car and quieter. What I do love about motels is being able to park right in front because i always forget things in the car and rather do small locals then bigger chains when i can. Just not the nicest of the ones I’ve done but also not the worst!

Nice Stay
Overall, I had a pleasant stay. El Rancho Motel had a fourplex that was able to house my large family for a night while other places didn't.

I mistakenly booked this place. And before I even got out of the car I knew it was a dump. Rolled up carpeting by the office door. Place was under renovations.
Expedia was still promoting it though.

It is a great place to stay if you're just passing through or you're a very low-maintenance kind of person who wants a bed and quiet. The staff was nice and accommodating. It is a bit hidden from the main street, but it's very quiet. The rooms are simple, which I love! I will definitely stay here again!

Perfect place for a long family weekend
Perfect place to stay while our family was in Bishop for a long weekend of climbing. We stayed in one of the bungalows and having the full kitchen was fantastic! Clean, comfortable, and an excellent value. We'll definitely stay there again next time.
