Disliked: Amenities
Booked a king an after i check in and got to my room it was doubles. It said 4 available. But the lady at the front desk acted like nothing she could do. And no kings available. But the king costed me more money. So if i did it again i would stay 10 miles away and drive to the cavern.
Very friendly and helpful front desk staff and incredibly clean room. No frills but a great place to stop off for exploring Carlsbad and Guadalupe National Parks.
Spotless room. Good job! Older hotel, but the rooms are large and comfortable. Breakfast muffins, cereal, and fruit. Staff very friendly. Would stay again.
The room was larger than expected, and was immaculately clean. The king-size bed was very comfortable. The air conditioner/heater was easy to adjust. Check-in was fast and easy, and the price was great. Breakfast was simple, but sufficient. We were right at the entrance to the Carlsbad Caverns, which was very convenient.
The only negative was that there were no restaurants close by for dinner. We had to drive into Carlsbad to get dinner.
