The day after the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta ended 39 balloons flew at Red Rock Park. Beautiful morning!🇺🇸
Great historic hotel with beautifully preserved lobby featuring many autographed pictures of celebs who've visited.
The El Rancho is an old hotel that a lot of celebrities stayed at when they were filming all the old Westerns back in the 50s and 60s. 

All of the rooms are named after celebs and there are TONS of photographs hanging on the walls. 

Definitely stay here if you have the chance.

Rooms were nice and clean. My husband stays there when he has to work in town. Some nonsmoking rooms do have the smoke odor. But overall the cleanliness is great.

The staff at check-in were very helpful and polite. The designated drop-off/unloading area was a big plus, especially since parking is a bit far.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Didn't go anywhere, just staying overnight as we went through town and wanted to stay at a Comfort Inn, but never again this one.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

The highway was rough and the area had a general feeling of being run down.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

We were definitely in the wrong place. Had we gone up the road there were more Hotels and places to eat.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Nice people. Very warm town.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

We did'nt explore the area, hunkered down in room. Departed town as early as possible. COVID-19 risk too high.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

It was hard to find a place to eat, possibly because of the coronavirus restrictions. The motel seemed to be far away from the main part of town.
