My wife and I ended up in Santa Fe a few nights ago without a hotel reservation, we had taken a last minute trip. We called a few places and closer to the Plaza was in excess of $140 per night for a chain. I remember staying at the El Rey about 20 years ago and we called them. They... more

After a horrible experience of checking in at our original Santa Fe B & B booking at the Casa Pacifica (BEWARE- DO NOT STAY AT THE CASA PACIFICA - HORRIBLE - DID NOT GIVE REFUND-see my review about the CASA PACIFICA!), my friend and I were ready to continue our holiday. We landed at the EL REY and were more... more

I enjoyed our stay at the El Rey Inn. My best friend loves this hotel and recommended it because of it's unique touches. While I agree the hot tub is wonderful and the grounds are fun to explore it's a little pricey for the the quality of the room. The room is very dark and a little dated but clean... more

This was my first time with the kids in Santa Fe and this was the perfect hotel. It was charming and fun and very comfortable. The murphy bed was a hit with them and the beds were so comfortable. We took advantage of the pool and hot tub the first day we drove in, tired and sweaty. The gardens are... more

Overall, we had a great stay at El Rey Inn. Our room was clean and cozy, and we enjoyed the hot tub and free breakfast. The exercise facility is a tiny, cramped room with only a few machines. We were disappointed with our interactions with the staff at the front desk as well. When we arrived, we mentioned that we... more

While on a road trip with my Dad, the El Rey was recommended to us by his sister. It did not disappoint! The front desk staff were friendly and helpful even though we drove in rather late in the evening and didn't have a reservation. We asked if an additional discount was possible, and though it wasn't, they gladly gave... more

“An oasis of authentic New Mexico style and charm in the midst of an ever increasing commercialization and falsification of the very reason people come to Santa Fe in the first place. Don’t lose your soul!” Those were my words to the Manager in a letter I wrote to the El Rey Inn after my stay. I was impressed. Well... more

What a pleasant surprise! Initially, I thought that staying at this hotel for three nights, that is literally 'right on the old Rt 66' and about 3 miles from downtown Santa Fe, might be a bit noisy due to it's proximity to the main road, and a bit of a risk because it wasn't the sameness of a Hampton, Holiday... more

We were very impressed from the moment we arrived at El Rey. The lady at reception was expecting us, was warm, friendly and helpful. Our room was lovely, very spacious with a queen size bed, and was very comfortable. The room was well furnished, clean and welcoming, complete with a mini fridge, coffeee maker and flat screen TV. There were... more

Stayed at the El Rey on a road trip from Denver to Tucson, AZ. It was great. We stayed in the "lodge" which was way more room than we needed (larger than my first two apartments). It was very nice with comfortable beds adn cool furnishings. The whole place has a very old school route 66 feel. Lots of little... more
