We stayed at this hotel because it was the closest one to Guadalupe Mountains National Park and Carlsbad Caverns. Even though it is an older hotel, it was clean. We spent very little time there other than showering and sleeping. We did sleep well when we were there.

Okay motel

It was an okay motel. No frills. When we checked in it looked clean then we found someone's teeth veneers left on bathroom cabinet. Now wondering how clean.no toilet paper. Mentioned you clerk and it was just shrugged off. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast offered was little to no joke. Pool was closed for the season. Okay place to stay. Would recommend staying closer to town.

Comfy and close to the caves

The staff were incredibly nice! The main draw is its proximity to the caves. For a motel, it was a great stay!

Wonderful People

It is one of the most quiet places to stay, never had to worry about others being too loud or noisy. It was relaxing after a hard day in the field. Also the people were very accomodating and helpful.

If you're going to both Carlsbad and Guadalupe Mountains, this is a nice spot to be closer than town. It is older but it was clean and comfortable without issues. Be aware that the restaurant across the street closes early, so you'll likely need to go into Carlsbad for dinners or have your own food.
