A large standing sign near the right side of the frame reads "el Rey Court. AAA. Member of the Best Western Motels". The motel itself is designed to resemble an adobe building. It is made of a light colored stucco material and has numerous vigas sticking out of the tops of the exterior walls. Several small leafless trees can be seen in front of and behind the motel. The ground surrounding the motel is made of gravel.
