The place has a beautiful architecture but they could do some improvements like putting some gravel on the dirt parking or some more greenery around the units (plants). The bedroom at first sigh has beautiful features, like great lighting and decor. The sad part is about their mattress, mine had a big dip on the middle part that I could barely sleep and ended up having a sore shoulder and neck the next day. Also after a long day of driving and walking around town my son ended up having a migraine so I went and asked if they by any chance had a Tylenol but they said they didn’t had anything, then I asked jokingly if they didn’t had a first aid kit? Also I looked back trough the window and they had piles of rubbish…

Motor motel charm
I love the El Rey Court. I have stayed there numerous times on my travels from Austin to Telluride. The motel has a unique flair. It’s not for everyone, but if you like hip and old motor motels, you’ll love this one. And they are super dog friendly.

The room I thought I was getting was not the room on the picture . The pictures on the web are misleading . The price was 300$ a night way too much . No lighting in the room the made our bed like a 5 year old . Also I asked to change rooms they had availability but they wanted to charge me more . I literally could book a better room online for 1/2 the price . Customer service was horrible .

Untrained desk clerks both day and late shift. Received a call from night clerk at 11:20 pm, waking me up. She wasn’t sure anyone was checked in then wanted my credit card even though this room was already paid for. There was some confusion on the clerk’s part whether the extra $20 amenity fee was paid. She woke me up to ask me this and continued to complain about the paperwork that was left for her. I won’t ever stay at this motel again.

You’re definitely paying for the nostalgic, shabby-chic, hipster, roadside motel vibe here. The beds weren’t very comfortable and the room wasn’t very clean. The property is a great revitalized classic roadside motel, and as such you expect for the rooms etc to have some wear, even though they’ve been redone. But the things within control weren’t up to par really either. Our kettle didn’t work, the shower curtains were old and dinged, the mattresses weren’t comfortable, etc. You’re paying a premium and not really getting a premium product.

The king and his court and servants should bypass
We had a poor experience here. The room was clean and the bed comfortable, and the self laundry reasonably priced. However, the lighting is inadequate, the shower controls difficult to operate--could not stop the tub trickle so heard it all-night, and the road noise insufferably loud most of the night. The electrical outlets barely keep a plug secure. Although it possesses some 1950s charm, the motel should be avoided.

It’s a historical motel from Route 66 era. The architecture and uniqueness of the rooms are amazing. The hot tub area is large and has an outdoor fireplace that makes it a very relaxing area. The onsite bar has tasty appetizers and drinks but is a little pricey.
