    retro design
    lively bar
    limited breakfast

    The decor throughout the hotel impressed me with its retro southwestern style, creating a vibrant atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed the lively bar area where we experienced great live music during our stay.

    The breakfast options could be more diverse, especially considering the food truck setup.

    comfortable beds
    quirky decor

    It was just a good pick for a cursory stop in Santa Fe with good price value. The beds were very comfortable, making it a pleasant stay. Bring ear plugs to deal with the street noise.

    personal patio
    comfortable king bed
    lively landscaping
    loud hvac
    maintenance issues
    flickering light

    The El Rey Court offered a delightfully charming atmosphere with its retro decor. I loved the king bed. it felt perfect for sleeping soundly after long days. The personal patio outside my room was a nice touch, ideal for morning coffee. The landscaping throughout the property felt lush and inviting, providing cozy spots to relax. However, I encountered a few issues. The HVAC system in my room was quite loud, disruptively so at times. I noticed some maintenance oversights, especially with the fire pit being out of propane, which was disappointing since I looked forward to using it. Also, there was a flickering entry light that contributed to a sense of neglect in upkeep. Despite these inconveniences, the ambiance and comfort made my stay enjoyable.

    The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and make for a relaxing atmosphere. The lobby and bar area are uniquely designed and are a great spot to unwind after a day out.

    Our room was a bit smaller than expected.

    beautiful view
    unique grounds
    lack of family activities

    We had a great time exploring the historic Turquoise Trail during our stay. The scenery was beautiful, and the trip was perfect for us and our two teenagers, who enjoyed the adventurous vibe of the road. The grounds were unique and lovely, adding to the charm!

    My kids wished there were more games or activities for them at the hotel, especially in the evenings after our outings. A game room or outdoor sports area would have been a fantastic addition for families.

    the bar was lively with great vibes and live music and the grounds had this beautiful retro design that made you feel like you were in a different era

    it wasn't inexpensive but it was impressive enough to justify the cost
