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.

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.

The property is in a run down residential neighborhood next to old RV housing and many residents just hanging around. There wasn’t any staff on the property and a note on the door to check in at their other property. At the other property, the staff member at the desk was very kind and helped me get a refund and not stay the night as reserved because I didn’t feel safe with just me and my little dog.
