Great value, we enjoyed a large, clean, comfy room that had all the amenities we needed at a great price. Friendly staff, too. They have what looks like almost a mini water park out front, for warmer days (we were traveling in January), so a nice perk for families, and close to the Carlsbad Caverns, which is why we were there.
