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.
