We were very close to Carlsbad Caverns and a straight run to Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The rooms were neat and clean and had all amenities. Parking was sufficient. our trip was in November, so the pool was closed for the season. There are no restaurants within 17 miles from the hotel. Breakfast was packaged cold cereal, oranges and apples, packaged muffins, and coffee (not what we expected). There was one table and 4 chairs for all of the quests. Also, only 3 or 4 English channels worked on the TV, and they weren't major neworks.

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.

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.

Property was fine for one night stay before heading to Carlsbad Caverns. Very close to Cavern entrance. No restaurant for dinner. Would have to drive back to Carlsbad town. Complementary breakfast was minimal and Cactus restaurant only open from 8-3. Not convenient for an early start.

It was a piece of kitch in a kitchy old tourist area, that has been taken over and rebranded by locals. I enjoyed it, and more importantly, my OCD girlfriend was comfortable here. Don't expect a heated pool or hot tub, it's just a good clean place to stay, when visiting the caverns and a side trip to Sitting Bull Falls, which we highly recommend. It was just a nicer option than the sterile, more expensive new cookie cutter hotels much farther away in the town of Carlsbad proper. I'm glad to have stayed in this older but kept up bit of '60's pre-cast concrete hey dayism.
