We spent 2 days in Santa Fe and El Ray Court was a big part of how much we enjoyed it. The room was large and clean, but the highlight was the food truck and bar. It was great to unwind with good food and a drink made with local spirits. Would've loved to have spent a few more days there.

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.

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.

I'll start by saying that I like this place, and have stayed here several times. The rooms are huge, the entire venue is smartly decorated, and the grounds are beautiful. There are fun and interesting events planned throughout the month, and the pool club is well maintained and equipped with a bar. However, expectations should be lowered regarding staff service and interactions (I've come to accept this, and simply adjust my expectations when staying here). There is a lot of "hipster aloof" and the so-called "Millennial stare" going on. You may find yourself standing in front of the check-in counter, the wonderful La Reina bar, or the Turquoise Trailer without being acknowledged by staff people, or perhaps waiting for the end of a cell phone conversation. There are exceptions, of course, and I've had wonderful encounters with many staff people over the years. Nonetheless, it's worth preparing for. There also seems to be a preference for local patrons in the bar. In spite of this, I recommend staying here, and will continue to stay here myself.
