We enjoyed our stay. Close to caverns, the checkin help was very informative and friendly. They give local recs for food options, the pool was not open while here, so can’t speak on that, but looks super fun for kids. Would def recommend if in area.

Clean, huge rooms and a perfect location right by Carlsbad Caverns. The interior needs a little updating, and the breakfast is basic (just muffins and packaged cereal), but for the price and proximity to the park, it’s a great value. I’d definitely stay here again!

Best of both worlds! We spent a day in Carlsbad, NM and a day at the Caverns and didn't have to use two motels: this is right at the entrance road to the Caverns and has a fine restaurant and gas station nearby. The manager was a delightful lady who was helpful in making our stay pleasant. Great location, great staff, great place to stay!

Perfect spot if you’re hitting Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Super convenient location and the front desk was really nice and helpful. Nothing fancy but exactly what you need after a long day out exploring.

We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel. It is a basic hotel but it was perfect. Only negative was their shampoo was mostly water and didn't lather well. Also it is the closest to both Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe National Parks. The staff was very accommodating.
