We really appreciated the proximity to Carlsbad Caverns, but having to drive back to town for food was inconvenient. Still, the price was great and the accommodations adequate for 2 nights. Would stay there again.

Not much around, but a nice stop.

We stayed here so we could visit the caves. Older facilities but very nice staff and pool. The area could use more food options.

This place is convenient for visiting the Carlsbad Caverns. Its clean, quiet, and decently priced, but go into town for food, and bring your own entertainment, although there is wifi. I would likely stay there again if I were to revisit the caves. One small QOL suggestion to the inn: Get some of those night-stand lights with a USB plugin so guests can charge their phones.

Pet friendly and convenient to visit the caverns. Motel style parking in front of or near room. Pool was nice but there was a lot of bird droppings on all the chairs and tables around it. Room was clean and comfortable. Office staff was friendly and helpful.

It’s what you’d expect from the area. Nothing to write home about but felt really safe and did the trick for a stopping point to see the caverns on our way through to Utah. I can see how others feel it’s run down, but the price and convenience were worth it.

We arrived on a Friday afternoon. The pool was open but had so much bird poop all over the tables and chairs that they were not really usable. The splash pad was closed. We had a rather large cockroach in the bathroom and a cricket or two the were in the room. The staff was nice and the beds were comfortable. The property shows its age.

Pool is open until 10pm. Friendly staff. Kid friendly place. Short scenic drive to Carlsbad national park. About 15 minutes from town. Restaurant next door is good, but a limited menu. Over priced. Gas station across the way. I would stay again.

If you are going to Carlsbad Caverns National Park, this location is perfect. Close, convenient, and clean. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The pool is available but the slides are only open on the weekend. That wasn't a big deal for us, but just including it in the review for others to know. I would definitely recommend staying in this location. There is a restaurant across the way called the Cactus Cafe.....they have EXCELLENT hamburgers, local craft beers, mainstream beers, and good old soda. There is also a gas station across the way. Everything you need.
