Furry Friends Need Fun Too! Visit Pet Friendly Hotel in Albuquerque



Many of us are so attached to our furry friends these days that we want to take them on trips and vacations with us.  It can be difficult to find a comfortable place for them and for us to rest, relax and recharge.  The Mauger Estate B&B is the best pet friendly hotel in Albuquerque; a most cozy retreat for you and your dog.  Our dog friendly room has a private entrance, fully fenced private side yard, room with dog door, private bathroom, wi-fi, cable TV, refrigerator, coffee pot, and includes full breakfast and evening refreshments.  There are dog bowls, beds and treats for your furry friend, and a nice walking neighborhood with a park 5 blocks down the street.  An off leash dog park is only 1 mile away, and several restaurants and shops are dog friendly in our neighborhoods.

We also have a dog friendly townhouse which is truly a home away from home with a full kitchen, full living area, washer/dryer, and small fenced patio.  We welcome longer term stays in the townhouse, and it also has all of the necessary amenities (wi-fi, cable TV, parking) to make your stay relaxing and convenient.

Albuquerque has become a very dog friendly city with many shop owners and restaurants welcoming dogs, and several off leash dog parks are scattered throughout the city.  Some of our close by favorite restaurants are:  Slate Street Café (patio), Flying Star (“Petio”), Church Street Café (patio), O’Neills Pub (patio), and Kelly’s Brew Pub (patio).  Strolling through Old Town and Nob Hill are popular venues with your best friend on a leash.  In the summer, we have the Downtown Grower’s Market at Robinson Park, and most hiking trails in the foothills and the Petroglyph National Monument trails are all dog friendly as well.

Dog friendly lodging exists, many hotels are “dog friendly” but they don’t offer the same comfort and amenities.  Many times they are simply a smoking room that was converted to a dog room and there is no grass, yard or play area. 

You will find that the Mauger Estate B&B is your best go-to dog friendly lodging option in Albuquerque.

Albuquerque Lodging at its Best



Many business travelers and tourists say to us “I’ve never stayed at a B&B before, and this is so much better than a hotel!”  While it really is so true, many travelers still don’t realize that in terms of choices in Albuquerque lodging, B&B’s really are the best choice, and the Mauger Estate is the place to stay!

I would like to highlight three of the top reasons so many people switch from staying at hotels to B&B’s:
  • Cleanliness is a concern for everyone.We have all stepped into a hotel room and noticed the bathroom isn’t as clean as we expected, or the carpet makes us want to never take off our shoes, or worst of all, the sheets are not clean.  At the Mauger Estate, attention to cleanliness is our hallmark, and we take pride in putting people at ease.

  • Comfort is what makes us sleep better at night, and feel at home when we are traveling.  B&B’s are much more comfortable and inviting than hotels.  There are no elevator doors opening closing, ringing, doors banging at all hours of the night, children running up and down the halls, or drunk people cackling at 2am.  At the Mauger Estate, guests tell us daily how “quiet” the house and the neighborhood are, and they often ask if there is anyone else staying with us because they didn’t hear anything.  As you walk through the house, you will feel as though you are at home, with hot tea available anytime, cookies, muffins or other treats available, quiet sitting areas, and the ability to come and go as you please make our guests feel most comfortable.

  • Homemade breakfast creates an amazing aroma for you to wake up to, and our breakfasts are filled with homemade goodness, delectable flavors and love.  We make our own muffins, sweet breads, quiches, soufflés, frittatas, granola and our chocolate chip cookies are the highlight of many guest reviews.  If you have a tight schedule and can’t make our usual breakfast time, we offer breakfast to go so that you can have breakfast in your room or take it with you.  If our guests let us know, we accommodate their dietary restrictions, and make sure their breakfast is as delicious as everyone else’s.

B&B proprietors are in the business to please people, make them feel at home, welcome and exceptionally satisfied.  It is often evident that hotels treat all guests the same, and that all guests are simply adding to their daily revenue, rather than making our day by appreciating the details and specialized treatment that guests receive at a B&B. 

So, make the switch!  Book your next stay at the Mauger Estate, we look forward to meeting you and making your Albuquerque lodging experience delightful!
