On the old road
We’re on Cerrillos Road, the old Route 66 stretch into town. About two miles from the Plaza, usually an 8 to 10 minute drive. The Railyard is about five minutes the other way: the farmers market, SITE Santa Fe, the Rail Runner.
It’s a simple place to sleep, with a real Santa Fe feel that hasn’t been polished away.
Coming for the snow? Ski Santa Fe is 16 miles from the Plaza. Our Ski Guide 2026-2027 has opening dates and conditions links for six northern New Mexico ski areas.

Why stay here
This is still a real motor court from the days when people drove into Santa Fe and parked at their door. Small. Family-run. Close enough for the Plaza and the Railyard without losing that older pace. We like having you, and a lot of people come back. If you’ve stayed before, tell us when you write or call; we’ll take care of you.

A family inn
Kings Rest Court Inn has been family owned and operated since 1981. We are a small place. If you need something, ask. If we are with a guest, give us a minute.
Eat nearby
We don’t put out a continental breakfast, because the good stuff is a short hop from the court. Grab a breakfast burrito or tacos at El Parasol, sit down at The Pantry for breakfast or lunch, or get coffee at Iconik and Counter Culture.
Later in the day, head toward the Railyard for a pint at Second Street Brewery, pizza at Bruno’s or Back Road Pizza on Second Street, and authentic New Mexican at La Choza and Tomasita’s. A couple minutes away.
That’s part of the fun of staying here: park at the court, then go eat like a local.
FAQ

Yes. You park at your door, under a covered carport. Cars, crossovers, and most SUVs fit. No parking fee, and no extra resort fee.

Is there a pool?
No pool, hot tub, or gym here. Why come all the way to Santa Fe for a hotel pool when the real soak is waiting in the foothills? Ten Thousand Waves sits in the mountains above town: a Japanese-style onsen with outdoor tubs, quiet trails, and the steam and cedar you came here for. Spring-fed Ojo Santa Fe and historic Ojo Caliente turn a half day into the soak you will talk about for years.
