Was horrible!!! I paid for 2 beds and got charged for the fourth person which is a 10 year old girl. Why pay for 2 beds if only 1 person can sleep on one? Rooms need update and maybe a inspection. Cheap price but not going to be back rude staff. Just walked in to room and didnt knock. I think i over reacted but my daughter and her babygirl were alone in room. Co.e on now common courtesy is to knock and make sure they're out not just barge in? But yeah they loat my business

The staff was very friendly. Unfortunately, the floors were dirty in our room. Not only that but if someone was walking in the room next to you, you can hear it. The kid next to us kept running around all night and it sounded like someone was pounding on the walls just from them running. It was the worst nights sleep I've ever had in a motel. I can say that ill never stay here again.

Good Location and Value

This motel is on the main road (US-60 or Ash Street) but was quiet during the holiday period. It is ideally situated near Hill Street, which goes into the historic district less than a mile away. Fast food is nearby, as is hiking at Round Mountain Park. El Rey is a self-described \"vintage motor court\" so looks the part outside. But the interior room was large enough, the bed mostly comfortable, the spacious shower always had hot water, and the wall heater worked well, with the usual humming. The large-screen TV operated fine, though we found that selecting channels and watching programs was overly-complicated. No critters wandering around, the room looked and smelled clean enough. The motel was communicative, messaging us any updates or questions before arriving. The young man at the front desk checked us in quickly and efficiently (note $40 refundable deposit). He had already turned on the fridge/microwave/heater for us, and provided a couple extra pillows when we asked. We appreciated all that. We've stayed in Globe before, it has enough charm and activities around that an older lodging offering good value is sufficient for budget travelers. You might get more if you pay more elsewhere but we would still stay at El Rey again.

I've stayed in cheaper and for a lot nicer. I'm all for budget motels but this one was awful. Very dingy, small rooms,hard beds. Dirty, dirty, dirty. I'm surprised I didn't get bed bugs BUT the bed was the cleanest thing in the room. It was unsafe and very dirty premises. As a solo traveler I was afraid to leave my room at night due to the people living there.

This place was built in the late 1930's and nicely renovated. Each room has its own microwave and mini fridge. The manager, Ash, is the nicest guy in the world. I'd stay here again. The price does differ on Expedia app, than in person. In person, it's $15.00 cheaper.

Not too bad if you need a place to crash even for a few days! Close to some hiking trails. They do charge a refundable deposit of $40 at check in. Shower drain didn’t drain very well so while taking a shower the bottom filled with water a bit but then did eventually drain. Over all wasn’t bad

\"El Rey\" not the King of Globe.

Dirty floor - Door doesn't seal so dirt blows in. Place about 15 years overdue on a remodel... rotted wood at bathroom entry. Pricey - poor value. And they allowed another 'guest' to check in under my name (Hadn't checked I.D.). Luckily there was still an available room. I'd put this place on the 'last resort' list.

Went to the desk and asked him to give my daughter the room key as I was goi g to eat. He then told her she needed to give him a 20 cash deposit. Her baby was crying and he would NOT give her the key. Needless to say we drove 3.5 hours home that night because this man and the hotel was awful!!!

I checked in at just after 2:00. I checked under the bed for signs of bedbugs as I always do. There were no signs of bugs, but the cover over the box spring was dirty and stained, and when I checked the mattress under the mattress cover, there were pieces of food or something stuck to the side of the mattress. I went into the bathroom and there was a piece of toilet paper in the toilet and a smear of toothpaste on the mirror. It obviously had not been cleaned. I was in a hurry and figured it wasn't that bad and I could handle it for one night as long as there were no bugs. By the time I decided I really couldn't stay in the dirty room it was too late to ask for a refund, so I stayed at another motel that was clean.

The hotel was better than I expected. I was just staying one evening in town, so I booked it because it was close and it was inexpensive.

For the price, we were not expecting a comfortable stay, just needing a bed to sleep in near Roosevelt Lake. We were very pleasantly surprised, the owner was very professional and helpful. Booked a two bed room, and the second bed was an another little room, which was nice for the kids. Nice new smart tv, large shower, and comfortable beds. Of course this place was nothing fancy, but we would absolutely stay here again.

I could park in a carport. The place was soooo quiet it was wonderful! The only draw back was that they kept recycling the same towels, without washing them. The wash cloths too. I thought that was going a little over the top for environmental protection. I was there for 9 nights and they had me use the same 2 wash cloths. They kept turning off the lamp even knowing I was arriving after dark to a dark room. Otherwise, they were both very friendly and polite. I would still recommend this motel.
