Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Location was great - closest spot to Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains. No major issues, but some minor ones that added up to be noteworthy. The first day in our room, I noted that the two Styrofoam cups for use had definitely previously been used as they had coffee/liquid stains on the inside of them. This made me question what else was not thoroughly cleaned. In addition, my husband went to the office to ask for more towels and was responded to with a snarky comment of "how many of you are in there" (we had 2 towels for 2 people in 4 nights and wanted a refresh halfway through). Room was okay, mattresses were comfortable but smaller than advertised - definitely doubles and not queens. Overall, would stay again if needed, but would rather look at other options nearby.

The property is older but to my delight, the large room was newly renovated and bright and spotless. There was a king size bed, 2 tables with chairs, a small refrigerator/freezer, coffee maker and large TV. The bathroom had a large tiled walk in shower with a shower chair. There was complimentary muffins and cereal and coffee every morning at the office. The office is small but there is a table and chairs for 6 to eat at. We saw 2 front desk ladies during our stay and both of them were friendly, attentive and helpful. If we find ourselves in the area again we will stay at White’s City Cavern Inn.
