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 dog had a great time. Plenty of places to run around on grass for potty breaks, etc. And so nice that he could hang out in the lobby, bar, all the public outdoor spaces, etc.

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.

We LOVED El Rey. In fact, I’m actually wearing the hat I got from their GOATed souvenir shop right now; It’s legitimately a great looking design, which speaks to their overall aesthetic – very proudly southwestern but with a midcentury vibe that’s both classic and on trend. Rooms are comfortable and stylish. Hot tub is GOATed; I’ll attach some pics. El Rey is the best! There’s maybe one other place in town that I would even consider staying, but ER is probably more my style and is definitely more affordable.

Nice people. Had a big room. Comfortable bed. Good shower. Live music. Nice places to sit outside. Good breakfast place and ice cream walkable. Dresser drawers a bit wonky and in need of new paint job. Nice place to stay for families, pets or people who don’t want to be cooped up in a hotel room. Nice grounds.

The property is really nice. They’ve done a good job of landscaping and maintaining space. Just keep in mind that it’s built in 1933 so you can hear everything. The windows are as if they’re open when they’re closed. The towels are terrible. But the bed was comfortable. The location is really great.
