You'll find the El Rancho Hotel & Motel on the eastern edge of Gallup.
The hotel was built in 1937 and was the height of luxury on Route 66 in the 1940s and 50s. Its guest list included Hollywood stars who stayed at the hotel during their film shoots.
The grand lobby included a massive stone fireplace under the double wooden curved stairways.
Rooms are named after Hollywood stars.
Signed photos grace the walls.
I found a picture of what was probably the cliff dwellings in the "Ace in the Hole."
