I liked it was built in 1929 in adobe style and you could park in front of your room. The only poor part was the air conditioner which was very noisy.

The property is obviously dated. The location is okay; two miles from downtown. There’s an adequate food truck and modest bar. The air conditioner was noisy and alternated between sounds of a wind turbine and Harley Davidson—don’t expect a good nights sleep.

El Ray is a time honored tradition. It has been the hot spot and an off spot over its many years. I am quite sure it has never bee as great as it is right now. Enough of everything for all members of a family including your pups, beautiful oasis from the strip of once great roadside stopins. A good food truck that meets all your needs while not competing with Santa Fe’s best, and the ease of friendly people and great management.

Overall, the hotel gives motel vibes and the grounds could be better kept. The walls of my room were dirty and there was spider webs hanging around one of the lights. Tried to call th front desk but they didn’t pick up. I will say, the artwork around the grounds is nice but that’s about it. Would love to see management reinvest in the upkeep of the facility.

Stayed two nights and was very disappointed. No hair dryer, cold showers, and hot water only lasted a few minutes. The rug looked dirty and I ended up with bed bug-like bites after the stay.

We always make a point to stay at El Rey Court on our roadtrips in the Southwest. Authentic motel feel and a casual vibe with live music on many nights.

I absolutely love the vibe of The El Rey. It has that perfect blend of vintage and modern and the property is incredibly beautiful. It is convenient to shopping in Santa Fe and there are many great restaurant options near by. Every time I stay, I hate to leave.

El Rey is a total vibe—charming, unique, and full of character. The property has so much to offer and explore, and it’s great for pets (they even provided a snack for the dogs, which was such a sweet touch!). The rooms are quirky in the best possible way—definitely not your standard hotel stay. The on-site food truck was great, and the pool is a must-hang spot—relaxing, fun, and full of energy. The front desk team was exceptional and made us feel right at home. It’s a little pricey, but that seems to go with the area. Honestly, we just wish we had more time to enjoy everything. Would absolutely come back!

The property was fine and clean. The pool are was nice. The lighting in the room is horrible. We requested a cover for the exposed LED lights in the restroom and were told maintenance would get back to us the next day and we never heard from anyone. The parking lot needs to be worked on, there are a lot of put holes.
