We were excited to check out El Ray, and we really wanted to like this motel, but we ultimately felt like for the price, it was too far too average. The room was an updated motel room, but still held on to the loud funky air conditioner/heater that you would expect pre-renovation. It was impossible to sleep with it on. Only a thin duvet was provided, there was no extra blanket for the cooler evenings. The design is good in the room, and at first feels contemporary and fresh, but upon closer inspection just feels like they’ve tried to “cover up” the funkiness of the motel, rather than properly renovate. The bar is nice and cosy, and we enjoyed one night there with a decent Margarita. I liked the design. However, the place lacks warmth, & feels impersonal. The food truck was conveniently located, but overpriced. The area is not far from town, but the area isn’t the best to walk around during the day or night. It’s busy and hectic, and you definitely need a car. We enjoyed the hot tub, and I’m sure during the Summer the pool is nice. Expect to pay an extra $20 a night “resort fee.” It all adds up to what should be a much nicer facility than it actually is.

Dial M for Meh..
This is a meh. Just beware of what you will get versus the pictures of the rooms on various booking sites. Seems like the trend is to flip these old motels and make them hip and appealing to guests. It worked on us. Our room seemed to miss the flip and was giving a Motel 6 vibe with the dingy/dated carpet, dirty walls, and worse for wear furnishings. Had to slam the door because it was falling off the hinges and I’ve seen better bathrooms in a truck stop. Overall, it was a place to sleep for the night. I would look elsewhere next time.

I finally found “my spot” for stays in Santa Fe.
I was greeted by a friendly person and the process was swift and smooth. My room was fresh, clean and well designed.

The cutest revamped old motor lodge. Bougie, attention to detail, quiet private rooms, 5 acre property...Live music every night. The bar is adorable and great drinks. The greatest kept secret. Perfect little spot.
