"An old-style Route 66 hotel a few miles from downtown, the El Rey is exceedingly popular with families for the lush gardens, great pool, cool patios, playground, and relaxed, old-time “motor court” atmosphere. Rooms are individually decorated with quaint and colorful style, this is the place that will have your kids asking, ‘Where was that cool motel we stayed at?’ for years to come."

A retro motor hotel with southwestern style, the El Rey Inn on old Route 66 is one of the best bargains in Santa Fe."
TRAVEL + LEISURE City Guides: Santa Fe
"What began as a humble 12-room motor court in 1936 (back when Route 66 ran past it) has grown into a decidedly offbeat five-acre compound comprising 86 rooms in every imaginable configuration and style. Funky but immaculate rooms are set around the property in small clusters, shrouded by cottonwood trees and fragrant gardens and with access to both a heated pool (open spring to fall) and two cloistered, sunken hot tubs (open year-round)."
