Fodor's "The kind of place where Lucy and Ricky might have stayed during one of their cross-country adventures, the El Rey was built in 1936 but has been brought gracefully into the 21st century." Full review
Frommer's "Staying at "The King" makes you feel like you're traveling the old Rte. 66 through the Southwest." Full review

Be sure to request a room as far back as possible from Cerrillos Road.
Travel + Leisure "A decidedly offbeat five-acre compound comprising 86 rooms in every imaginable configuration and style." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"This white-painted adobe compound, here since the 1930s, offers the most character and best value of the Cerrillos Road motels."

Ask for a room away from the road.
Michelin Guide "Built in the 1930s, renovated and well maintained, the motel boasts a Southwestern decor of hand-painted tiles and hand-crafted furnishings."
Gayot "The El Rey has been a fixture on Cerrillos Road since the 1930s, when fabled Route 66 ran through Santa Fe. The five-acre mini-resort remains one of the city's most appealing vintage properties."
DK Eyewitness "With a gracious lobby in a white adobe-style building, the El Rey is a mini oasis in Santa Fe."
Travel + Leisure "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" Full review

Tip: Book a room toward the back of the property to avoid the aural and visual traffic along tatty Cerrillos Road.
Condé Nast Traveler "A next-gen Route 66 motel that’s full of character and mezcal—and just as popular with locals as out-of-towners." Full review

) The great thing about a roadside motel is you can just pull up to your room—you only need to go to the lobby or interact with anyone if you choose to, apart from at check-in.
Frommer's "This enchanting, historic adobe property, which opened on the Original Route 66 in 1936, is pure Santa Fe, or as the management says, "Dennis Hopper meets Georgia O'Keeffe." Full review
i
No two rooms are alike—fun for repeat visitors—and you’ll want to request a room back from busy Cerrillos Road.

Ask for one of the second-floor end units for the best mountain views.
Frommer's "Designed to look like a neighborhood, this inn provides the efficient stay you'd expect from a Marriott, and a renovation in 2006 brought freshness to the rooms and some common areas." Full review
Gayot "This attractive compound of adobe-style units sits on a hillside a couple of miles south of Santa Fe's historic Plaza."
