El Rey Court

I booked through expedia at a quoted price charged to me card. When later reconciling my card, I found an unexplained charge from the hotel. I called and they explained that it was an "amenity fee" not charged by expedia. I explained how I was not told about that charge and asked for it to be removed. They did. Don't pay "amenity" or "resort" fees. These are charges for nothing as a dishonest attempt to increase revenue. The hotel will tell you that everyone charges it - and they will until we refuse to pay it. Don't!

The overall vibe at this hotel is funky and approachable. The decor is a nice blend of retro and modern touches within an old school motor lodge.

Favorites: Quaint pueblo charm, terrific bar. Not-favorites: Bathroom could use updating. We stayed only one night in late February on a small road trip across New Mexico. We stayed in the Courtyard at the back of the property, which was wonderfully peaceful with birds chirping in the trees in the morning. Our room had a fireplace which was romantic but made the room VERY toasty. There weren't really instructions on how to use all of the switches for the fireplace and its fan, so that's a little on us. The pueblo design makes for a rustic old-west vibe, but the bathroom was a bit dated. Overall satisfactory for a one-night stay, but the fan didn't seem to help much with shower moisture and the fixtures were very old. Since we were only one night, we didn't get to try any amenities except for the bar, La Reina. It was fabulous! We tried several of their well-crafted cocktails. Great drinks, cozy fireplaces both inside and outdoors. It seemed like somewhat a neighborhood bar but also gave a nostalgic feeling of "travelers passing through" as there were several other guests there trading stories of where they came from and where they were going next. Would stay again.

Tasteful simple rooms with comfortable beds.

No housekeeping service came while I was there 3 days.

The hotel was charming, clean and the staff was friendly. It was a short drive to many of the restaurants and galleries as well as a few hiking trails. We had an wonderful trip and the El Rey Court was a perfect place to stay!

Such a unique hotel. Reminiscent of the 60s but modernized. The bar is a must! I loved the atmosphere, vibe and service! 10/10

Location is in a busy area & the room was very loud with road noise. The room was clean but felt dingy due to the need for updating. We did not have hot water for more than 24 hours. The pillows were very small and uncomfortable and we did not have any linens for the kitchenette area. The lobby bar was very nice and the cocktails were delicious but the bartender was a bit rude & service was slow with it being busy and only 1 staff member. The hot tub area was a no-go. It was run-down, in a dark corner, and VERY small. The greenhouse was CUTE! I loved that & the overall vibe of the hotel but much work needs to be done to make it an enjoyable stay.

Adorable hotel with excellent vibes. The room was so cute and we loved the live music Sunday night on the lounge. Lovely gift shop and amazing staff.

My husband and I stayed here for his 40th birthday, and since we didn’t know much about Santa Fe, we booked this hotel because it looked cute and had great reviews. I’m so glad we did! The room was clean, the location was perfect, and it was easy to drive to restaurants and coffee shops. Shopping was also just about an 8-minute drive away, which was super convenient. I absolutely loved the vibe of the hotel. The lobby was my favorite spot — cozy, welcoming, and a great place to hang out, have a drink, and play a game. It really made the stay feel relaxed and fun. The only downside was the check-in experience. The staff handed us our key and pointed us to the room, but there wasn’t much information shared. It would have been helpful to know ahead of time that housekeeping doesn’t service the rooms during your stay. Since we ate at the on-site food truck a few times, our trash piled up pretty quickly. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider coming back — just with a little more info upfront next time!
