Hotel is conveniently located near the Carlsbad Caverns national park. Rooms, sheets and bathrooms were clean. There was an option to join 2 adjacent rooms through the door inbetween. Friendly and polite staff. However, the property appears to be quite dated. Breakfast was very limited to packed food (cereal bowl, muffin, juice gallons) and a fruit.

Great location to visit Carlsbad caverns and Guadalupe mountains. Clean, quiet, easily accessible. Basic breakfast. When we were there the closest dining option was in Carlsbad, 20 miles away.

Good overnight stay

There were a couple items that needed replaced or maintenance but overall quite good. We had a family emergency back home and had to leave early morning but so glad we made the trip before watching Landman!

Great vintage place

The room was clean. Its an old hotel which had been allowed to remain unused for several years. The basic style is 1950s with a few upgrades to modernize it. The staff is friendly. Its all family owned and operated. 5he have big udeas of returning it to its former glory and i hope they succeed.

White's City Cavern Inn was a nice place to stay, especially if you are visiting the National Parks. Very spacious and clean rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would just suggest updated pictures of the continental breakfast served! Thanks for a pleasant stay!

Property was clean, however, there was no dining options in the area after 3 and the pool that is advertised wasn't open yet [or it looked like it hadn't been open for a while]. Breakfast consisted of cereal, milk and coffee.
