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.

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.

I was there for only 45m. We got in late, had to drive to a different location to pick up my keys. When I went in and took a shower and went to go to the bathroom, the toilet did not fully flush. I had to flush a few times for just pee

I did not stay. The place needs a lot of work. Windows are not secure. There was no one from the motel on the premises either. I was also the only person on the premises at 7:30pm. I got another room close by. I went to the Tree Motel to return the keys. The manager said she would contact Expedia about refunding the fee.

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.

Chaotic check in but good stay

When we first arrived we were told to pick up the key from a sister property. I got the key, opened the door and found someone else’s belongings. I was confused and as I just walked out the door and locked it, an elderly couple yelled at me asking me why I was lurking around their room. I showed them the envelope for the key and we were both confounded. Contacted the property manager and she was very apologetic about the incident, explaining that I had the master key and my room was double booked. Eventually we got a different room to stay for the night. Stephanie was polite and helpful despite the incident.

Currently you cannot check in at that property, you have to check in at another nearby location. Not a big deal. I noticed a plumbing snake outside a room across from ours and it seems the property has plumbing issues all around. There is a “No Vacancy” sign lit, but the location seems to have empty rooms. The rooms are clean and nice, the staff is very warm and kind. The bed was comfortable, but very squeaky any time either one of us moved. The recently painted motel has incredibly vibrant color choices that seem to clash wildly with the rustic surrounding area. One hand towel, one wash cloth in the room. I’m sure we could have gotten more, but I wasn’t sure management was on the property and I didn’t want to bother them. The location is enough off of the beaten path that it was very quiet. I was a little surprised that the doors were not solid core wood doors, but seemingly hollow interior doors. While the rooms have horizontal blinds, there are no blackout curtains and it’s pretty bright. We used the extra blanket and hung it to help darken the room, but the blanket only covers so much. Also, our blinds didn’t fully reach the window ledge and we rolled up a couple of t-shirts along the bottom to keep anyone from being able to see into our room. Other than that it’s not bad and like I mentioned, the room was very clean and the staff was great and friendly.
