One of the worst stays I’ve ever experienced.
I grew up visiting El Rey, I have great memories of this place as a kid. I booked it because it seemed freshly updated and of good value. This place is beyond disappointing. So much has been spent on the overall image of this place, freshly updated brand, merch, etc but the processes and guest experience are terrible. I called them to request an early check in. Check in starts at 4 and I requested a 3pm check in. They let me know the room was not ready but would shoot me a text when it was. Understandably not all early check ins can be accommodated so we waited until 4pm to check in. The room was not ready until nearly 5pm. For the two hours spent waiting nearly every guest who walked in was told the same. The room wasn’t ready. The front desk staff has no way of dealing with it and their only resolve is to offer free drink tokens.
The room itself does not appear anything like the heavily edited photos. It’s dirty, poorly renovated, and things are falling apart. The ‘Casita’ we rented has a sliding glass door to an outdoor area, the lock doesn’t work and clearly hasn’t in a while. It’s run down, beat up, and poorly cared for. The staff is slow to respond, chaotic, and offer very poor responses and resources to guests. Please avoid booking here. It’s just not worth it.

If you’re the kind of person who really appreciates the old-school feel of a vintage roadside motel, don’t hesitate. Book this place today. You won’t regret it.

I love the El Rey Court. I have stayed there numerous times on my travels from Austin to Telluride. The motel has a unique flair. It’s not for everyone, but if you like hip and old motor motels, you’ll love this one. And they are super dog friendly.

You’re definitely paying for the nostalgic, shabby-chic, hipster, roadside motel vibe here. The beds weren’t very comfortable and the room wasn’t very clean. The property is a great revitalized classic roadside motel, and as such you expect for the rooms etc to have some wear, even though they’ve been redone. But the things within control weren’t up to par really either. Our kettle didn’t work, the shower curtains were old and dinged, the mattresses weren’t comfortable, etc. You’re paying a premium and not really getting a premium product.

We had a poor experience here. The room was clean and the bed comfortable, and the self laundry reasonably priced. However, the lighting is inadequate, the shower controls difficult to operate--could not stop the tub trickle so heard it all-night, and the road noise insufferably loud most of the night. The electrical outlets barely keep a plug secure. Although it possesses some 1950s charm, the motel should be avoided.

Its a tired old facility. Room was was so bare and cheap. Stayed for 4 nights with no housekeeping. Half of parking lot closed for days because a wedding tent was going up.

This is one of the most pleasant hotels I have ever visited. It is a beautifully updated retro single story motor court established in 1936. It features a beautiful courtyard with fountain in one of the sections of the facility. My room featured stucco walls, wooden doors on the bathroom and closet that looked original. The ceiling was pine panels with massive, full-dimension 4x6 pine beams. The room was a bit spartan, but clean with attractive modern furniture. The cabinet under the batheroom sink appears original.The bathroom was a treasure: dark blue and light blue tile on the floor, dark blue, light blue and pink ceramic tile on the bathtub/shower. Plumbing is updated and works well, especially the shower. Curtains were effective at light blockage. The only down side was the wall mounted HVAC unit, which was noisy, but worked well enough. Price was reasonable. In the office building on the evening i stayed, there was a jazz trio playing in a large sitting room.

The property was fun & quirky. Being a motor court it was a little noisy sometimes.

Both nights I was awoken in lovely little room #8 by what sounded like a locomotive about to crash into the room. When I staggered outside at 545am, service vehicles had arrived to begin servicing the hotel. I cursed a bit and got up and got to work. The same routine was repeated the next night.

I generally like the El Rey...been staying there for several decades. This particular stay was really bad. The floor was sticky and there were ants in the bathroom. The toilet was clogged and nobody answered the phone when I tried to call to have it fixed. When I went over to the office in the morning they said they would have maintenance come but it didn't happen. I lost the morning wages because I couldn't work in the smell. I lost a night's sleep because of the smell. I would like a refund for the night.

This property is a good value for the Santa Fe but is an old property that is tired feeling. My TV never worked and there was no WIFi. Checking in took over 20 minutes, the one person at the front desk was overwhelmed by the number of people checking in.

Rustic Hipster vibe with a breakfast food truck, pool, and bar. The green spaces were well cared for.

El Rey is one of our top two places to stay in Santa Fe. Hip, cool, sparkling clean, spacious room, great bed, great staff, pretty much everything we want. We absolutely love it.

I liked the local decor , in unique Santa Fe Style. Pool and evening happenings were good too. Only complaint was never seeing housekeeping. Had to ask for more towels, and on a three night stay it would’ve been nice if the room was cleaned of glasses, and if the garbage cans had been emptied.

SUCH A COOL PLACE! This was our third trip to SF. I passed by El Rey several times on each trip and thought it looked so quaint….reminiscent of another era. So I just had to try it. It is certainly NOT your typical hotel stay. But it was GOOD in so many ways. Super friendly staff. Fun activities like karaoke and pop up shops and live music while we were there. Didn’t have time to try the spa or pool. Just neat to see people hanging out in the lobby and around the property enjoying the atmosphere and each other.
