The first eoom we got had a clogged toilet. The second room we got didnt have stoppers in the sink nor bath drain. The beds and bedding were clean. Both rooms the toilets rocked (loose on their mountings) and rooms are kinda dirty and worn. There were pieces of breakfast cereal on the floor in both rooms. Very disappointed, will not be staying here again

The parking is good, right in front of the room. I asked the staff to change the room from the 2nd floor to 1st floor and she did it without any issues. Very nice and friendly. The room was spacious and has a table with 2 chairs which I liked as it was so convenient to dine in the room. The breakfast was very simple and could have been better. There is one gas station nearby and not very far from the national parks.

Cavern Inn was clean and comfortable with good sized rooms. The location is unbeatable if you are planning on visiting Carlsbad caverns or Guadalupe National Park. The nearby Cactus cafe closes early and is closed completely on some days so plan ahead. The rooms have a fridge and microwave to store and reheat food if you bring it with you.

Was told restaurant closed at 3. Arrived at 2, was told it was closed all week. No other place to eat. Went to "grocery" across street, shelves were almost bare. Ended up eating trail mix and candy, what Ihad in my car, for dinner. TV did not work -- only about 9 channels, snowy and terrible reception, unwatchable. Front desk clerk tried to fix it but couldn't, no maintenance person working. Found out the next morning, with wet hair, hair dryer also did not work. Hotel looks old and dated outside, had to walk up stairs and they were uneven, almost tripped twice. Room was large, very roomy, clean. Very quiet, but there were only a handful of guests since Carlsbad Caverns was closed due to the shutdown -- certainly not their fault, but disappointing, as it was my only reason for staying there. Front desk staff was very nice, but unable to do anything to resolve the problems.

This is a fairly dated motel but it’s clean and what you’d expect for a 2 star location. Beds were comfortable, we were able to bring our dog, and parking with a trailer was a breeze. Breakfast was cold cereal so that was a little lacking but at least something. We were there in the off season but the pools and slides looked fun.
