The room was very very small. I have stayed here before with larger accomodations. Windows did not open at all. Staff were lovely, food truck is nice touch. My room faced the bar area which was quite loud at night.

SUCH A COOL PLACE! This was our third trip to SF. I passed by El Rey several times on each trip and thought it looked so quaint….reminiscent of another era. So I just had to try it. It is certainly NOT your typical hotel stay. But it was GOOD in so many ways. Super friendly staff. Fun activities like karaoke and pop up shops and live music while we were there. Didn’t have time to try the spa or pool. Just neat to see people hanging out in the lobby and around the property enjoying the atmosphere and each other.

Horrible! My room looked nothing like the pics displayed when booking. The only thing that was accurate was the ceiling and floor. First I booked two rooms, and when I checked in they gave me a room on each end of the property. I could understand if I booked a room and my friend booked her room on a separate transaction but it says 2 adults, 4 kids, 2 rooms and they charged me for two rooms…CLEARLY we want our rooms to be next or near each other. I asked if they can change it since I was the first to check in at 4pm and there were lots of key cards on the wall and she said no because they were close to capacity for the night. How about make your oops right and find two rooms with queen beds near each other and give two others our rooms…that’s service and frankly what I thought I was paying for, and a nice room. Then I enter my room and it looks like my room was left off the list of renovations yet they charged me $250 for a Wednesday night in a non peak week as if it was fully renovated as the pictures alluded to. The lobby is beautiful, the exterior of the property is beautiful and as pictured. My room however was not. It looked like an old motel room. The bathroom was the worst part…the shower/tile looked like it was from the 60s, cracked tile and faucet handle sticking out from the wall as if you turned it too hard it will snap off. The real treat was when I attempted to take a shower and waited forever for the hot water to kick in, I got it a nice warm temp and no need fo

Quiet, quaint refurbished old motel. A lovely Santa Fa experience away from the downtown bustle. For the cost, however, you should weigh your preferences. You're paying for the experience of being in a hip, young hotel with some nice atmosphere and cute rooms. The ground are lovely and the property is pretty friendly. I didn't make it to the bar but heard it's worth it. If your looking for valet service this is not the hotel for you. You will load and unload yourself and if your room is upstairs there is no elevator.

Worse night in Santé Fe
I have stayed there many times but always in the old section The new section should be called Motel 6 at El Ray At first they gave us room the furthest distance from anything. Two room shared an outside door leading to a staircase. We didn't go up. They were extremely unhelpful about moving us to another room. The new room was still at the back of the courtyard a long distance from parking. Bottom sheet on the King size bed was flat and not fitted .Came loose immediately. The Duvet cover was just something made out of sheets. and open at the top .No soap, no hair dryer and no maid service we had to ask for it before we arrived apparently. Slept or tried to on the horrible bed two nights. I could keep gong but why? we will never go back there. .

Could not get the patio room requested. Was put upstairs in the back with no option other that to move the next day to the patio room requested. Was supposed to receive 40% credit for the inconvenience but instead received a $20 rebate. 40%od of $286 is not $20. The front desk clerks just count make anything right. But the patio room the next day was worth the stay. Wonderful!

Cute but basic
El Rey is cute, but basic. We stayed in a casita and found the space to be lacking in design finishes and amenities. The pool was very crowded and offered no services. Traveling as a family of 4 we found an Airbnb to be a better value in a much nicer neighborhood.

While we were staying here the electricity went out and when I asked about a refund or discount, the first two times I was given a manager’s number and left messages - never got called back. Today I got a better agent who said to contact Expedia. Poor customer service. It is a cute hotel and I know they can’t control the weather but come on.

This place is overall awesome. Look, it’s a 1930’s motor lodge that has been redone and updated and looks like they are continuing to. It’s not perfect but it’s pretty awesome for those who love nostalgia with some modern amenities and not have to break the bank. It’s perfectly located, has a great bar and pool and is close to restaurants, shopping, dispensaries and more. Will def stay here again. My only complaint is that the beds are FIRM af.

Very disappointed. Very low quality motel. The AC is leaking and we couldn’t even use it. My son was really sad and told me he felt like this is a homeless shelter. The worst hotel experience ever. Not recommended.
