Liked: Cleanliness
Room was very basic but clean. Lobby and outside areas of hotel need some work. When we arrived we were regretting our booking but once inside it was ok for one night. Beds were comfortable. Towels were very thin and the ice maker didn’t work. Breakfast was muffins, cereal and juice and coffee.

I think it's fine for the price. The only thing is that everything is a bit old and not at all up-to-date.

If you're going to Carlsbad Caverns, this is the only place to stay, literally and figuratively. It was clean and quiet. Breakfast was included, but there was no meat. Check in was fast and access to the room was easy. We were on a road trip and appreciated a fast in and out, no hassle experience at a reasonable price. We like the old school privately owned hotels that are well kept like White's. Back up to the door and haul your junk straight into the room. No dragging coolers through lobbies and elevators and hallways. After all, we didn't fly half way across the country to waste time looking at hotels, did we? Don't miss the evening bat flight. It was a highlight of our trip.

The room was clean and quiet. It was easy to check in and out, and the pool and splash pad were clean. The Cactus Cafe next door had great food. Great location- just 5-10 minute drive to the Caverns from the hotel. I would stay here again.

The staff were great. They were extra accommodating for my ada family members. The complex is big. It's somewhat older, but the location to Carlsbad Caverns was amazing. Wish we could have swam. The facilities looked fun! The continental breakfast was very basic.

Clean room but a little run down and old. Property outside a little dirty. Pool was nice but not heated water so it was real cold. Breakfast was disappointing.

We really appreciated the proximity to Carlsbad Caverns, but having to drive back to town for food was inconvenient. Still, the price was great and the accommodations adequate for 2 nights. Would stay there again.

Great place to stay for individuals and families.

This is a great place to stay. Child friendly as they have a little water park/pool area for kids. The room was clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable; there were plenty of towels for two people and ecofriendly paper products. This motel was right at the entrance of the Carlsbad Caverns which was perfect for us as that was an activity we planned on. The staff was fabulous and very helpful with directions etc. The only thing that could have been better was the outside sidewalks could be cleaned of debris and dead bugs. The upside to that is that the bugs were dead!

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Our bathroom socket was broken and no one on property to repair so we could not use our hair dryer. TV cable was broken and no remote so we could not watch TV. Too inconvenient to move after unloading everything. They offered no reduction in our rate which was almost the same as a nice new facility in Carlsbad where we had to go anyway because there is no restaurant there.
