Having stayed here previously and having enjoyed our stay, had looked forward to our return. Sadly this trip did not measure up in some ways: - Slight scare at check in but manager was able to clear up and even offer drink chips! - Rooms need updating but are still comfortable and clean - Disappointed with events causing limited parking especially without advanced notice! Saturdays event was a bit raucous and caused several attendees to roam the hallways, not sure as a group of women if we felt safe or just more guarded - Staff was pleasant and location, history and charm seem to bring about our still finding El Rdy one of our fav places in SF!

Charming old motel. It has a lot of character. The property and the bar are wonderful. My room was a little rough—dim, old thermostat that wasn’t removed, half finished bathroom door. It was clean and perfect for my needs. Some road noise, but not bad.

We have been coming here for years as we visit relatives. I love the room decor and the history. The street is very busy and walking anywhere can be exciting, but the El Rey is clean and the staff are always helpful and professional. The only part I don't like is the rise in rates. The bar with live music is nice. We will continue to stay here on our yearly trip.

I loved the style of the place and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. I thought the place was a hidden gem and coming from a coffee fanatic, they had the best I’ve ever had at a hotel both in room and in lobby. I wished I could have come by the lobby bar because it looked so cool but we were only there for 1 night. Also very comfy beds. Also affordable! I can’t wait to come back.

Always has been a funky kinda place and still holds true! If you want stay in a place that gives you the feel of the "good old"days in SantaFe, The El Rey is just that. Cute little bar to sit and chillax sipping on some smooth tequila or a glass of wine before you head out to explore Santa Fe and all its gems or cozy in your room with the fireplace and a book. The El Rey is a great place to Stay!

Well decorated, cozy room but did not sleep well. Pillows were soft but even two stacked on top of each other wasn't enough and there were only three total for the king bed. Also, the fireplace quickly and handily heats the entire space but there is not a ceiling fan above the bed so no moving air during the night. Positives: modern southwestern design, definitely check out the gift shop (I wanted to buy one of everything) and bar, La Reina, too! 8ish minutes to downtown, 30 minutes to Ski Santa Fe.

I loved my stay at El Rey Court! I stayed here for 4 nights with my dog and it was the perfect spot for us to stay. I loved the feel of the entire hotel, the ambiance and vibes were unbeatable! The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I loved the various amenities they had, I spent time in the greenhouse and at the hot tub and both experiences were great. I also loved the bar and restaurant and felt that everyone was so welcoming! Overall I loved my time at El Rey Court!

A pleasant surprise in every way. Room was large, clean, and tastefully decorated. The lobby area and bar were both smartly designed, and the food truck was tasty and convenient. The bartenders weren’t very nice, although it may have been part of the “hipster aloof” branding.

The El Rey Court is by far my favorite place to stay in Santa Fe. The staff is always super friendly and helpful. La Reina is a great place to hang out an unwind at the end of your day. The food truck is tasty and a convenient dining option. The Pantry next door is my favorite.
