Simple quiet and an average of 25 mins drive to Guadeloupe NP and Carlsbad. A great pool and water slide on premises. If you want simplicity and to just chill for a couple days or overnight this is it. Otherwise Carlsbad hotels are up the road. This worked for me bc it was close to caves and Guadeloupe mountains. I came to hike the mountains!!?

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!
