I am giving it 4 stars because it is a clean historic motel with mostly beautiful grounds. That said, the pillows were small, lumpy, uncomfortable and cheap. Next time we stay, we will bring our own pillows.

El Rey is a beautiful property that truly encourages you to take life slow and relax. The room was very spacious and well decorated, and the amenities were great. They have a food truck where you can grab a bite to eat in the mornings if you’re not wanting to go far, and a large lawn where you can sit and enjoy the serene environment. Overall a very nice stay and I will definitely be coming back to this hotel the next time that I’m in Santa Fe.

I loved this vintage but thoughtfully restored adobe motel on a main boulevard a few miles from downtown Santa Fe. My impeccably clean room had burnished tile floors, dark wood beams and mosaics inlaid in the walls. While the building has some history, all outlets and devices were modern and worked fine. The vibe is laid back and family friendly. Breakfast and dinner are provided by a food truck with New Mexican tacos and other local dishes. The staff was friendly and helpful. Excellent value and a fine way to get into Santa Fe style.

I perhaps did not have a room that represented the hotel as a whole. Like many nice Mexican hotels the El Rey was very nicely designed with several courtyards, a "swim club" area, and winding passageways with benches and gardened paths. But my room was off in a corner of the "Alamo plaza" which was not as nicely maintained as the rest of the grounds - it was dark and for me that area and the room felt dreary.

I liked the architecture of the property, the pool, and the location to downtown. However, I didn’t like that there wasn’t a microwave provided in the room — there was a communal space that had one. Also, accessing a parking space and use for guests was bad! It seemed like some non-guests took parking spaces; and a few guests took up 1.5 to 2 parking slots; perhaps, property could manage parking space usage a bit better.

El Rey Court is one of those special places you just happen across on occassion. This was just a one night stay during a road trip, and it's a gem. The grounds are beautiful and the people working in the food truck were amazing. It was a nostalgic experience for me, and whenever I'm in, or going through Santa Fe again, this is where I'll be.

I think the El Rey Court is going to become my go-to lodging for Santa Fe. It’s a little bit away from the intensity of historic downtown Santa Fe, but that means more of a chill vibe. The property is big, and lovely, with interesting things sprinkled all around. The “swim club” pool, with nearby bar has a relaxed and friendly vibe. The La Reina bar offers a number of locally distilled spirits, and live music on many nights. There’s a food truck out back that sold me carnitas fries, and I think those might have been the most perfectly crispy fries I ever had. The room was clean and well appointed with toiletries. It’s not a sparkly grey and white decor that you see in a lot of hotels, but adobe inside and out, wood beam ceilings and tile floors. Very New Mexican and arty. Good coffee at Milk & Honey and breakfast at The Pantry, both a 3 minute walk.

It was great! Wonderful staff, especially the bartender who gave me a ride in her car to my building, when she saw that I was using a cane. She also bartended the party that we were attending, and served a great Prosecco! The front desk staff were very sweet and helpful. The room was perfectly comfortable!
