Loooved this place! Clean and so cute. Hot tub, pool, sauna, great restaurant next door too. Very relaxing.
Charming place with beautiful tile and wood work. Beds are fantastically comfortable. The bathrooms are surprisingly large. All the staff we met was friendly enough.
The place is old, but very clean and well-kept.
3/25/18- Breakfast is NOT free. They give you a $5 voucher for a restaurant next door where you still have to pay the difference.
The room we stayed in was pretty outdated, but still charming. Has microwave, fridge, and nice TV.
The outdoor hot tub is really nice and large enough for multiple groups to use at once.
The grounds and architecture are very unique and quaint, but some landscaping is overgrown and needs work.
It just looks like everything needs a little more attention to detail in general. If they did that and then charged the same price, this place would be a steal.
Spent one night there. Paid $100, heard good things and seemed like a nice older property, well kept. TV wasn’t working, room had been recently painted and cable cut accidentally. Staff was very responsive. Refrigerator was not working. Moved it ourselves to an outlet that functioned. Toilet ran occasionally and woke up to it full, backed up. Inconvenient in morning with sons, but they worked on it immediately and seemed to fix it by the time we left. Dumpster truck made a lot of noise very early in the am. Street noise is present unless you get a room near the back of the property I guess. Overall, expect inconveniences of an old property. And a 20 min wait for vouchers given to Pastry restaurant down the block in the am. Not worth the experience or 50% increase compared to similar motels in the area without breakfast.
Very happy to stay here! The rates are perfect and the property it quaint and charming with a relaxed but quality vibe. We had a room with a fireplace and it was so lovely and cozy-not to mention clean and spacious! I'd recommend this place over the swankier properties on the square, unless swanky is your thang 😘
Dive hotel with a charming exterior setting and classic pueblo architecture, don't let this fool you.
Thrift store furniture, dated and dirty does not make vintage and charming. Junk piled up outside bedroom window and old astroturf lawn for landscaping. I don't think the owners have put a dollar back into this place since the day it opened.
Over priced . advertised rooms $110 but just paid, bill for one night - $250. At 100 a night, maybe a value?
What a treasure find! We happened upon this hotel for the night while on our way through Santa Fe. The staff was friendly and extremely hospitable. We loved(!) the unique decor of the buildings and rooms, which were also very clean and cozy. We will be back for another visit! :-)
The bathroom smelled a lot like mildew. That was the only thing wrong with this place. I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The staff was personable, the price was right, the rooms are homey and the grounds are beautiful. I can't imagine a better experience and I'm quite picky about hotels. Check their website for deals too. It's close enough to downtown that there is no reason to pay double at a downtown hotel.
The hot tub was so nice & warm. The pool is wonderful. We stayed in a room with 3 beds and it even had one bed in it's own room with access to the bathroom. We had a very pleasant experience. I would have given 5 stars but did not enjoy the experience of the breakfast as all the pastries were very hard and no ice water. It's free so not that big of a deal.
A very unique inn with a variety of sleeping rooms, some in separate casitas, a pool and the choice of an indoor or outdoor hot tub. Continental breakfast is nice, too. Our double Queen room was spacious with a fridge and sitting area. Staff was friendly.
Loved it! The grounds are beautiful. The rooms are quiet and comfortable and the staff was very nice. The breakfast was only pastries, but they were amazing. If you want a full breakfast there is a nice little restaurant right next door. One hot tub was not working, but they have 2. This is an old historic building so if you want more modern accommodations this might not be for you.
Oh wow! This place is beautiful. The grounds around the hotel are beautifully landscaped. The rooms are super nice very cozy and definitely clean. Ceiling fans in the room is an amazing treat for those of you that like fans moving a little air at night. I swam in a heated pool tonight and sat in one of the two hot tubs. I didn't use the sauna or workout center but it's here. The rooms are very beautifully decorated and my room even has a small love seat that folds out into a bed, a microwave, nice TV, and a refrigerator. Definitely one of the nicer rooms that we have stayed in on our vacation in the Santa Fe, Taos, and Red River area.
No two rooms are alike! My family always comes back here while we are vacationing in Santa Fe. El Rey is a unique and cozy family style hotel with a sauna, a lovely hot tub and a heated outdoor pool. The gardens are beautiful in the spring and summer and there is even a small playground for children to enjoy. The breakfast is free courtesy of the pantry restaurant up the street. The food is so good, especially their breakfast burritos! The El Rey staff is super nice and accommodating. Everything about this place is so lovely and with such great prices you won't regret staying at El Rey inn!
This place was an unexpected and beautiful surprise. Really, the grounds are just stunning, and there's more to it than meets the eye by just looking from the road. I stayed in a smaller, original room, and although I thought it was a bit pricey for what I received, the rest of the Inn more than made up for it. I think if they upgraded their television (ND vs Florida St on a tube? Uh uh), I'd be happy to give them 5 stars. The staff were also welcoming and helpful.
