You stay here for its location. Staff is friendly and helpful. The text they sent us about limited food options was critical because it meant we came prepared!

Whites City is very peaceful. It much more convenient to the Caverns. Our room was clean, pet friendly and staff were super nice! I would not change anything about our stay except to make the stop for food before leaving Carlsbad.

Surprisingly nice property. Would it be perfect if they had elevator. I had to request a room on a first floor and hoping it won't be noisy

The property is closest to Carlsbad Caverns of any hotel. it is hardly as advertised (at least in the 'shoulder' season). No swimming pool. The only restaurant in the small town is closed on Sunday/Monday. The grocery store is very very limited. The laundromat is across the street, not on the hotel property. Eating and other conveniences are far better at Carlsbad. The night check-in was impolite. I received numerous insect bites, which became inflamed and necessitated a doctor's visits - I don't think they were bed bugs, and I guess there are flies near the hotel - although i could have caught them elsewhere. The room we had was big, but the hotel was nearly empty.The breakfast was some mediocre coffee, cheap cereal in small cartons, and an apple or orange. It was qute empty. Avoid Sunday and Monday if at all possible, and I would suggest that if you need to stay here, make it only one night.

I liked that it was so convenient to Carlsbad Caverns. The management was also very nice to allow us a late check out due to my husband getting sick. I think the water park there will be nice in the summer for families with children.

Motel and its surrounding property were very good for this time of year. Only bad was that their room heater failed to produce enough comfortable heat.
