Disappointing
Just not what the pictures portrayed - we knew it looked older but pictures showed nice looking rooms and ours was not. And A/C unit was so loud we couldn't sleep with it on, but it was warm so slept terribly with it off. No staff onsite. Dusty dresser. Milk left in fridge from previous guest. Not a good night.

There was mold in the bathroom. the motel is located across the street from a trailer park and there was rowdiness and what sounded like belligerent drunks in the middle of the night: also there was no actual staff on site in case of an emergency. the rooms had no phones.

Lights not working.
Trash is still full on arrival.
The bathroom was very dirty and clearly used. Seat was dirty and had hair.
TV Does not work.

Do not stay at El Rancho motel
Promise a queen bed- not, full size and very uncomfortable.
Internet inadequate. Couldn’t get into an online meeting.
Lighting was horrible, had to use my flashlight to read.
Shower only.
Floor had dirty streaks as did a small round table in the room.

Beautiful relaxing and airy room
We always have a Wonderful time when we go to Bishop, CA. And we always seem to stay and use the Management of Trees Motel. This time we stayed at El Rancho Motel. Unfortunately, we were going to arrive very late so I notified Management. Manager after closing, drove over to my motel to leave keys for me so when I arrived.
And as always satisfied with the Beautiful airy room we stayed in!

Traveling with family of 6 and two dogs. Small house was perfect for our needs. Pick up the key at other location 2 min away, so it wasn’t a problem. Staff friendly. We appreciated having some cooking utensils, coffee, salt and pepper. The area wasn’t the best but once you were inside it was okay.

Late to family function
Room was not ready for check-in time of 3:00pm. The room was finally ready around 4:00pm. This caused us to be late to our family event that started at 4:30pm. Linen was very stained. Bathroom toilet not cleaned properly. Housekeeping needs to focus on details when cleaning rooms.

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.
