What you see is what you get with the El Rey and the Kay motels.
They are old and a little run down, the rooms are clean. Furniture and beds need to be updated, but overall they are not bad. Rooms are like $50 during the week and $65 or so on weekends. If you are looking to impress someone, these are not your place.
Another option is the Blue Sky Motel in Cal-Nev-Ari. It's about 10 minutes away, much newer and the rooms are huge. Lot's of parking area too.
Oh yeah, Cottonwood sucks. Don't bother going there.
