This property was lovely. Couldn’t have asked for a nicer setup. It had a very welcoming feeling from the moment you walk through the door. It was also 420 friendly which I really liked. I even received a token for a free pre roll from one of the local dispensaries. I would definitely recommend.

This was a great place to stay. Conveniently located to get around Albuquerque. Walking distance to some great breakfast places. We loved the history and uniqueness of the room. Very comfortable beds and nice set up for tea and coffee in the morning. The owners were very responsive. Thank you!

There were no shelves or drawers for clothing, no microwave even though there was a fridge, there was no desk for laptop work, if you're going to fly a pride flag you should balance it with an American flag. Owners were nowhere to be seen.

Nice self serve place
The management is responsive to texts and emails. They send all communication electronically which was a little overwhelming to deal with while we were traveling. Not meeting anyone during check in time or at breakfast made it feel kind of impersonal. They have instant oatmeal and breakfast bars for breakfast which is nice. There are, however, no bowls and we weren't sure what to do with our dirty dishes.

Thank you for the feedback Brenda. We were actually traveling ourselves during your stay so unfortunately we weren't around to meet anyone. I'm so sorry about the bowl situation. It was a very busy week but I did touch base with housekeeping as a reminder to always check the area and restock as needed.

El Cuervo ABQ is in a beautiful, historic home. It's a refreshing change from hotel chains. El Cuervo has local charm and character - it's more like being in someone's home than a hotel. I really enjoyed my stay and intend to return the next time I'm in ABQ.

This was one of the most uncomfortable and unprofessional travel experiences I've had. The room had the worst AC out of any building I went into in Albuquerque. The AC temperature got up to 89 degrees all the way until 9pm, making the room extremely uncomfortable to be in. The hosts messaged explained that the heat in the room was due to the heat wave in New Mexico, but no other building I went into, in all of Albuquerque was as hot as this "hotel". The room also had plenty of mosquitoes and overall was just a very uncomfortable experience. Lastly they promised to give me a partial refund because of how poor my stay was, but since I have left they have completely ignored all my attempts to contact them. Do yourself a favor and stay anywhere else if you want to stay with an honest host and somewhere that isn't 85-89 degrees inside.

Sorry Justin next time it would be great if you just left when we offered you a full refund instead of staying for 2 days or at least would have allowed us to come up to the room and check the unit. But thanks we appreciate you!

Pornographic and demonic
This is a room had nude paintings and photos all through it . chains hanging over the bed. A book on vampires and three bottles of blood on the shelf. We felt like we were in a witches den. This room was called oddities and that was an understatement.

We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay Kevin. Each room hosts a different local artist. I wish you would have reached out to us to let us know and we may have been able to accommodate you in another room. The room is called Oddities and Things for a reason.

Unfortunately we were misled into thinking this was a small hotel. Far from it. No one to greet or speak to. Our 2nd floor room, called the “brothel suite” was only accessible via a creaky, very narrow set of stairs which l could not negotiate with our luggage & gifts. The shower was in the living room, which my wife was appalled at. The house had a communal kitchen, however guests were not allowed to use it, although there was no food service. I had higher expectations from Vrbo & Travelocity. We went somewhere else for the night.
Response from Brad on Jul 28, 2023
Peter we are far from a hotel, we are a funky guesthouse with local art. Unfortunately Travelocity strips our info from other sites and we have no control over how we are portrayed. I wish this review was directed at Travelocity for the misleading info and not on us.

What a cool place! I try to avoid run-of-the-mill motels if I can, been there, done that. This place is far from that. Quirky, sweet, interesting. It's got personality for miles. I loved it. Just a couple of things to think about if you're planning on visiting: If you have a lot of luggage, don't book an attic room... I did, and ended up having to schlep it all up three flights of narrow stairs. Also, even though it's in the Downtown area, the street is residential, and I couldn't find any open restaurants within a safe, walkable distance. Apart from that, this place was quite unforgettable, and I would love to come back!
