El Cuervo ABQ

We stayed in the Kings Parlour room on 07/14, the room was beautiful and much bigger than I expected! The bed was so comfortable and the whole room was very clean. This was such a beautiful historic house and we are so glad we got to stay here while we visited Albuquerque for the first time. Outside of the room, the living room area was full of amenities, as well as cute art and plants. Brad and Steph are excellent hosts, I will recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay in a cozy, hospitable and safe hotel.

A Beautiful place, with beautiful purpose, run by beautiful people.Recently, I had the pleasure of staying at El Cuervo ABQ Guest Rooms along with several friends that were meeting me in Albuquerque for an event.I began looking at hotels and rentals when I discovered El Cuervo ABQ Guest Rooms. I reached out to the owners since their booking calendar was only unlocked so far in the future (which is typical for lots of places). They responded quickly to my inquiry about booking a room 6+ months in advance and made it possible.The communication was excellent between them and myself (as well as the others in my party).The home is on the Federal Historical Registry and was built in 1897. The room, bathroom and common areas were incredibly clean. There was a stocked coffee area and nice breakfast area. Our group utilized the breakfast area every morning and the front porch every night. It was amazing being able to have all of our party staying in the same home with these shared common areas.I stayed in the "I Love Mary Jane" room which had a balcony for those that love "Mary Jane" or perhaps a cigar. There was a queen bed with clean, crisp sheets, an A/C unit to keep the room cool in the hot ABQ summer, a smart TV that I could use to login to my various streaming accounts, but also there were plenty of "Free TV" options on it as well. There was a mini fridge in the room that had a few complimentary bottles of water and local beers. The bathroom had quality towels and a shower with fantastic water pressure.El Cuervo ABQ location is fantastic. It's a short walk or a very affordable rideshare to Old Town, (lots of restaurants, entertainment, and shopping), museums, the ABQ BioPark, the crossroads of Route 66, etc.My friends and I occupied 5 of the 6 rooms over the span of a week - with some of our folks arriving later or leaving earlier, so we did the opportunity to meet others staying at the guest house during our stay. Everyone was very friendly in passing!All of us in my party were thrilled with the accommodations and if we found ourselves in Albuquerque/Santa Fe area again, we would absolutely reach out to Brad Leigh & Stephanie to stay here again!Brad Leigh & Stephanie - Thank you for making our trip to the southwest so much more enjoyable and memorable!

Needed a place to stay in Albuquerque and this place happened to come up. I was so pleasantly surprised! It's such a cute & cozyplace, very friendly owners and other guests. I got a great night's sleep at a great price and I would definitely choose to stay here again, much better than a big hotel chain.

I had the BEST time during our virtual murder mystery party and tour of El Cuervo! While my character, Dr. Orchid, was not the killer, I still had a blast! The owner is by far the hostess with the mostess and my whole family can't wait to book a staycation together! This location is so rich with local history - and colorful spirits! - that it is a must for everyone local or passing through! I am just sad that I haven't been here in person yet! That has been a huge oversight and mistake on my part. The rooms are the right combo of creepy and comfort! I would live here if I could! This is my new favorite spot in Albuquerque! And I'm such a fan girl when it comes to the owner! She's such a strong, empowering example of a business owner. She's exactly the right person to own a place like this! It would not hold the same charm without her!

I really enjoyed my one-night stay here. It's a rustic little house right in downtown and close to most things. The owners are partners/spouses who are immensely polite, welcoming, and inquisitive as to their travelers' needs. They personally prepare the food (their daughter makes amazing chocolate chip cookies! The rooms are clean and very pleasant and there's a great character to the overall space. I would stay there again. Try to get room 2B because of the patio (seen in photo).

Even though the place has changed its name, there is still a sign in front identifying it by its former name of Mauger Estate B&B. It is no longer a B&B and in fact their web site clearly indicates that they do not serve breakfast. What they do offer is granola bars, microwave oatmeal, and Keurig coffee. What they didn't offer at least when I was present was a warm body to interact with. Everything is done by emails, texts, and entrance codes that admit you to an empty house except for the other guests, if you should happen to encounter them (which we didn't). There are extensive rules and regs in the confirmation email and posted in the house, requiring a lot of reading, which I found a bit much after driving for over 400 miles. These regs inform you that there are live security cameras all over the place including in the kitchen, which I was afraid to enter in the late evening while looking for a water glass since there wasn't one in the room. The cameras take the place of employees who could greet and assist guests and keep an eye on the place. I will admit that not having to pay for employees or a real breakfast does allow them to offer very competitive rates. That's good, because otherwise the experience would have been so cold and impersonal that it wouldn't have been worth it. I repeat: it is NOT a B&B in the traditional sense. It's a nice room in a well located historic property with more of the feel of a multi-unit absentee-owner Airbnb than a real B&B, hotel, or guest house.

This quaint Victorian is a convenient location to downtown or old town. Both are within an easy walk. They also have a bike rack with rental bikes if that is your interest. It has great hospitality with great outdoor spaces.

I wish we could do half stars. I'd give it 3.5. Well this place was the only sign of any beauty in this dreary town. It's an historic renovated Victorian home. Beautifully done I might add. The room was nicely decorated and very comfortable. Parking was easy with their back lot and curbside. Breakfast was just so-so. The coffee was delicious. The innkeeper has a lovely display of breads and dried fruit and nuts to munch on while she (poor thing) whisked her heart out trying to make her special sauce to go over the egg and the egg and cream wouldn't cooperate. So we ended up with one over cooked poached egg on a luncheon size plate and I can't remember what came with it. Clearly not anything to remember. This hot plate breakfast was very lackluster especially for my husband. So would I stay here again? Maybe, Maybe not. Half the reason we stay at a B&B is for the neat breakfasts.

We cannot understand why this place received so many great reviews. Unknown to us, we were in the attic room 85 degrees when we arrived, without the heat on! The room air conditioner sounded like a small jet engine, so to have it on was impossible for any sleeping or conversation. The only window, was a fire escape without a screen on it. There was consistent noise all day.... The owners called it "white noise", which it was not. It was continual furnace fan tapping noises. The 2 free waters and 2 free beers were the only plus in this room for us. The black light paintings were nice, but the streaks on the walls shown all night. Definitely do not recommend this place.

Fabulous overnight accommodations, we wish we could stay longer! The Brothel Room is absolutely unique & charming & endlessly comfortable! We will definitely be back for a longer stay!
