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.

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.

Was clean and cute! Walking distance to a lot of places on the south side of town. Easy and exactly what we needed. Internet/streaming was a bit slow, but that was minor.

Great seamless check in process! However, the rest was history as we were greeted to beds with brown color stained sheets, a non functioning air conditioning unit, and dirty mugs that were not usable.
