Great little spot
This is a recently renovated family owned motel super close to everything in Thermopolis. Our room was warm clean and comfortable and our dog enjoyed sniffing around the 3 acre property.

El Rancho Motel is a really nicely kept moderately priced motel of the drive-up-to-the-room category - my preferred style. The owner lives on the property and manages it with friendly service and a generous spirit. The room was clean and quiet, and the location is terrific.

El Rancho
A family run motel. The rooms are well appointed. Thermopolis is a great place to explore the southern Big Horn basin.
