TV’s didn’t work. They sent a text a few days before our stay, but it was too late to change our plans. Dining closes at 3PM, not very convenient. People with kids in Room 153 were VERY noisy, well past 10 PM. Hotel is very close to National Park, which was nice.

Ok lets start off with the fun little water park they have i knew they had a pool but i didnt know they also had a little pirate ship with water slides and the 2 large water slide made our trip so much funner especially for the kids! The rooms are very big a spacious and super clean. The staff were all very friendly and helpful even gave us a good place to go get dinner! If we didnt live so far away i would definitely go back for another visit!

Good for sleep only.
The property is dated, but the bed was comfortable. Lights outside in the exterior halls and stairwell were either poorly lit or not working at all. As we entered our room, it initially looked clean. As we inspected further, a stink bug came crawling out from under the fridge. I collected it and put it outside. The ice bucket was dirty and the toilet bowl was stained or perhaps not fully cleaned. We did not shower during this one night stay. The free breakfast consisted of pre-wrapped muffins and individual per-packaged cereal bowls. Coffee was present and had sugar packs and dry dairy creamer. Two gallons of milk and orange juice was in the fridge for community use. The property was quiet at night. We could not watch Tv as the cable connector was broken. The pool looked clean, though we did not use it during our short stay. There were water slide features that did not seem to be in working condition, unless they only run during certain times of the year.

The deadbolt on our door didn’t work. The pool was amazing, however, it did have a funny taste to it. Our friends also stayed and the glass was broken out of their door. Their bathroom door would also not latch and lock shut. All that being said it was super close to the caverns and was well worth being that close. Overall the hotel was good and the beds were so comfortable. Highly recommend for a couple nights stay.

This was actually a clean and quiet place to stay. I was going to stay in Carlsbad, but I took a chance at this place and was so pleased! One staff lady was so pleasant to talk to, but the other lady was kind of rude. Other than that, I would definitely stay there again.

Had a great stay! Loved the water slides and pool! location was close to where we were going the next morning! We were there on a Sunday so the restaurant was closed! There is limited food options across the street! The kiddie pool looked like the bottom of the pool was moldy!

Convenient location if visiting Carlsbad Caverns.
Room was clean and comfortable. We stayed for 2 days. The second day the pool, splashpad, and waterslide were unexpectedly closed down. This was disappointing as we planned to swim that afternoon. The only restaurant in town was also unexpectedly closed down the 2 days we were there. The location was very convenient to Carlsbad Caverns which was a plus.
