Once we booked we arrived we followed the instructions on our confirmation. It gave us a code to a secure box where we were to find the rest of the details for our stay. It felt a lot like a scene from Clue. Fun! Inside looks exactly how you'd hope it to look based on the outside. It's filled with authentic built in furniture in solid sturdy wood. Ours was the Garden Room which was more of a suite than a room. In addition to the queen bed, there is also a separate room (like a living room) with a pull out couch. The living room has a door that leads out to a balcony that looks over the entire property. From there you can see a huge courtyard with a fireplace and luxurious lounge chairs, hammocks and benches. There is a pond, or more of a brook that runs through the back courtyard. I never determined if there were fish. The entire setting is a place for anyone but particularly those who want to take a few days to catch their breath. I sure did. In the morning the DH B&B served homemade quiche, multigrain pancakes, piping hot coffee and juice. If you are going to be in Albuquerque and are doing some comparisons, this one is more than just clean; it's delightful. I am a local. Even so, I'll be treating myself to this again..and again.

Definitely worth supporting over the chain places in town. It made for a unique travel experience.

Time to update my review after 10.5 years. =O…read more Ok, so about a week ago, they changed the pet policy to no longer allow cats. We had booked our reservation with 2 cats before the policy change was made, so they graciously accommodated my 2 cats who came to visit, Duncan and Pippin. Apparently, cats were causing too much damage. =( I made sure that my cats were watched and behaved, and if we weren't in the room, they were secured with food and water. They were good boys for being the last two cats to stay here. On to the hotel. I enjoyed my stay here once again. The room was comfortable. It is convenient to the airport and downtown. There is free parking, and it's right off the Big I, so it's easy to get around town. The breakfast wasn't as good as I remembered. They had Bigelow tea, and i forgot to bring my own, so i didn't drink tea (I don't like Bigelow). But the other selections at breakfast were just fine. Fresh fruit, instant oatmeal, pastries, fritattas, yogurt. The staff were all so friendly. They helped with luggage. They asked about the cats and apologized about the policy change. We appreciated all the staff.

I read a great article that recommended this place and the price was pretty good via a 3rd party site. I love historical buildings. What was great and convincing: A shuttle to and from the airport. So convenient. 1 less thing to stress. Easy phone call and I was picked up by a friendly face. Shuttle to locals within 3 miles of the hotel. This got us to old town, nob hill, downtown. It wasn't always available but uber wasn't much and uber was pretty easy. But we did use the shuttle a few times. Super and always friendly. The hotel rooms are comfy, the halls and atrium are so relaxing, back patio was so beautiful to just sit and relax. I love the old details that were preserved. Watching the birds, including a hawk land on the fountain- priceless. Hot tub was a perfect temp for my sore legs(I came for a race). Breakfast was good- lots of choices. Nothing too fancy but the quiches were tasty. The rooftop views- spectacular. This was a selling point in my search. I enjoyed it but I won't include the restaurant as part of my review. I'm just including the view at sunset and night views are beautiful. The best part- the staff at the front desk! They were so friendly - very genuine. I felt like they were a hotel family we were visiting. Rick, Erin, Martin, Lucinda- all so amazing. Thank you for the shuttle rides, chats, recommendations, and local knowledge. It was a pleasure just to see you all downstairs. As a person that used to work in hospitality, your demeanor and attitudes were top notch. I worked at a 4 diamond resort and spa and I felt just as welcome here. Thank you! I hope to stay with you in the future.

My fiancé and I are incredibly disappointed with our experience trying to book this venue…read more For over three weeks, we attempted to reserve our wedding date for June 19, 2027. During that time, communication was extremely inconsistent. We were repeatedly told from the event contact, LeeAnn, that we would receive a phone call or a contract "tomorrow," but those promises were never followed through on. We reached out multiple times by text, phone, email, and even left a message with the receptionist. Most of our attempts went unanswered, and when we did receive a response, it was typically just one brief text saying the contract would be sent, but it never arrived. What has been the most frustrating part is that we stopped actively searching for other venues because we were told our date was being reserved. After more than three weeks without a contract or any meaningful communication, we've lost valuable time during a period when wedding venues book quickly. I completely understand that businesses get busy, and if our date was no longer available or if there were another issue, I would have appreciated an honest conversation. What was difficult was being repeatedly told to expect the next step and then hearing nothing. Thankfully, everything worked out in the end. We found another venue, Nature's Pointe, and from our very first interaction, the communication and professionalism were everything we had hoped for. Their team made us feel valued, answered our questions promptly, and made the booking process seamless. While I'm genuinely grateful that we ultimately found the perfect place for our wedding, I wish we hadn't lost three weeks waiting for communication that never came.

A Beautiful place, with beautiful purpose, run by beautiful people…read more 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!

I was in town from Denver visiting for my nephew's graduation. We had reservations for a Friday…read moreevening. When we walked onto the patio and took in those sweeping views of the Sandias, I was ready to love this place. Los Poblanos has all the ingredients of a truly special dining experience: a gorgeous setting, a thoughtful farm-to-table ethos, and a menu that promises something above the ordinary. Which is exactly why the evening's annoying missteps were so disappointing. Service was well intentioned but unpolished. Our waiter seemed overwhelmed and, at times, unfamiliar with the menu -- a problem when guests are asking genuine questions about the food and wine. We ordered bread which came before our drinks were served. Wine service was inconsistent. I ordered an Albariño by the glass - 6 oz. My sister ordered the Cabernet listed on the menu as a recommended pairing for her entrée, priced at $11. After we placed our drink orders, the waiter returned to inform her that the menu price was incorrect -- the wine was actually $18. She agreed to proceed. He then asked whether she wanted "a half glass or a full glass," which is an oddly imprecise question at a restaurant whose menu specifies pours in 3, 6, and 9 oz increments. She said half glass. What arrived was 3 oz of wine in a small serving carafe, which the waiter simply poured into her glass -- no bottle presented, no taste offered. My own Albariño, by contrast, was brought to the table in the bottle with a proper taste before pouring. The disparity in service between the two of us was striking. A simple, clear statement -- "3 oz of this wine is $18, not $11; would you still like it?" -- would have resolved everything cleanly. Instead, the vague "half or full glass" framing left my sister without the information she needed to make an informed choice. For what it's worth, the wine itself was extraordinarily tannic -- borderline undrinkable -- and I would have sent it back. My nephew ordered a top shelf whiskey. The waiter told him "we don't have that". My nephew said "it's on your menu" to which the waiter responded "oh, let me check on that". There seemed to be too many instances of the waiter running back to the bar to check on stuff. Anyway, it was available. The waiter apologized. We ordered the bread which was served before our drinks arrived. Food took about an hour which is fine - I don't have an issue with that but during that time we never saw the waiter again. I ordered the soup of the day - potato and leek which was delicious. Followed by the blackberry salad, which was my main course. Both arrived simultaneously, with the salad placed in front of me and the soup set to the side as an afterthought. At a restaurant at this price point, the expectation that soup precedes salad is not an eccentricity -- it is simply correct service. When I expressed my surprise, the servers seemed genuinely puzzled, which suggests this may be a training gap rather than an isolated incident. As for the salad itself -- it was pleasant, but pleasant is not enough here. The blackberry salad was the kind of thing you might enjoy at a well-run casual chain: competently assembled, inoffensive, and forgettable. At a farm-to-table restaurant with access to exceptional local ingredients, I expect the plate to reflect that -- more intentional presentation, more layered flavors, something that is more elevated than what was presented. This one didn't. The gap between the setting and what landed on the table was wider than it should have been. My sister and nephews ordered the filet mignon and rib eye. Both arrived pre-sliced -- a presentation trend that has made its way into fine dining, though one that divides opinion. My concern, beyond personal preference, is practical: sliced meat loses heat faster, and at roughly $80 per entrée, guests should receive their steak in the condition that best showcases it. The quality was good, not exceptional. Los Poblanos is a restaurant with genuine promise and a setting that few can match. The concept is right; the execution needs work. The issues I encountered -- inconsistent wine service, course sequencing, and a discombobulated waiter-- are not kitchen problems. They are fixable. I hope the restaurant takes that seriously, because the bones here are excellent and the experience should be too.
