Basic hotel in great location
This place is very conveniently located for visiting Carlsbad Caverns (and is the only option if you want that convenience). It is exactly what we expected - a basic hotel that was clean and reasonably comfortable, with a nice front office staff. Be aware that there is no restaurant for eating dinner in town (the city is tiny), but the the room has a refrigerator, microwave, and table, so it is easy to make yourself something to eat.

Super convenient to the Caverns. Staff was very friendly and courteous! Room was clean but there were annoying flies that were in room on day two creeped me out. Again, front desk person was great! Place could use some updates but so close would still stay again.

Location right outside Calsbad caverns was very convenient, rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. "Breakfast" provided a little misleading since it only had coffee, individual cereal and apples.

If you are looking for the closest place to stay if visiting Carlsbad Caverns then this is the place. However, this property only offers a “no frills” staying experience. Most of the staff were friendly, the beds were comfortable and it was close to the park but that’s where the positives end. The tv and wifi were less than dependable, the breakfast offered was minimal, no ice available and after 3:00 pm the only dining options are a minimum of 40 miles round trip to the property. It’s a place to sleep but not much else.

Clean, nice place to stay, rooms are spacious. Great communication the hotel texted us to let us know there is no place to eat after 3PM, so eat dinner before you arrive. Also to let us know water slide and pool closed for the season :( Ice machine broken so had to go to office to get ice. Staff very nice at all interactions.

The hotel is an older building so its features are dated. But my room was clean and faced away from the highway so was quiet. The free breakfast consisted of assorted Kellog cereals in individual serving cups, some oranges, Otis Spunkmier muffins, milk, orange juice and coffee. The TV in my room had about 30 cable channels but only 3 or 4 had a picture that wasn't distorted to some degree. If you are planning to visit Carlsbad Caverns NP, this is a convenient place at a decent value. I would stay here again.

Hotel was much nicer than expected for the price. Rooms were quite spacious and the fridge was appreciated. We had 3 adults and were very comfortable. The woman at checkin was so friendly and helpful. Negatives: they were having trouble with the power lines and many tv stations were blurry. Towels were very tiny and threadbare but they gave us plenty.

Property ok but not great. The room clean but dated. Some duct tape on carpet. No USB charging ports but adequate plug ins. Breakfast was lacking but not horrible. Liked that it was close to cavern but not close options for food. Staff was helpful.

A Clean place to stay near Carlsbad Caverns.
The rooms are clean and the plumbing works! There is a nice pool. The office staff was helpful. The Ice machine was broken and it was hot. However, the motel is close to Carlsbad Caverns National Park which is spectacular.

Clean and comfy beds. The restaurant is only open 8am to 3pm so missed supper. The grocery store doesn’t have much. Just get food before you leave Carlsbad. The accommodations provided everything we needed
