Property is just outside entryway to Carlsbad Caverns, so you can easily return for late evening bat flight presentation or star gazing. Also able to get to caverns first in the morning if you don't have reservations (especially on holidays). Breakfast is "grab and go" type in lobby, so have to carry juice/coffee/etc. back to room. Pool is nice after a hot day--slides for kids and pirate ship.

This place is excellent. Not because it's fancy because it's not. What it is, is comfortable, clean and an awesome staff. Very close to the Caverns. They have really nice pools, slides,etc. I stayed there and you should too.

It was great with 2 kiddos under 10. They loved the water park area. The room was nice and clean. Comfy beds and they provide a quick easy breakfast before hitting the caverns. Staff was great as well!

More than we expected.

1 night stay (sr. couple). Closest hotel to attraction we came to see. Good value for the price. Would be a great spot for a family stay.

Great location friendly people. However the pool was closed, all tv channels were pretty staticy, and I thought breakfast came with hot waffles from the picture and it didn’t. But we did get good sleep and were nice and close to the carlsbad caverns.

Our stay was great! Limited dining options but not a big deal since Carlsbad is close. Perfect location if visiting Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains. We explored all morning and spent afternoons at the pool. Breakfast is pretty basic but was fine. Rooms were clean and spacious!
