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.

If you're looking for location to Carlsbad Caverns, this is it! Not the best first impression, it definitely could use some cleaning outside but the room was ok. Not 5☆ but great price! Most definitely fine for a night because of its proximity to the park entrance! If the restaurant next door isn't open, prepare to drive into Carlsbad for anything to eat (about 25 min.) You'll have plenty to choose from there!

Misleading breakfast ad

The location is perfect for when visting the Caverns. The room was clean and big. And so was the bathroom. However the breakfast offered is not good at all. A box of fruit loops and coffee... seriously? I feel that that's more of a corteous snack for those who stay. It shouldnt be labeled as breakfast included. Very misleading when other hotels actually invest in issuing breakfast for their guest.

The room was a great size and very clean. The staff was amazing and so accommodating. The ice machine was broken but the office staff had some for us. The slide was closed which was a bummer as that was one reason we chose this place. It is very close to the cavern which was nice.

Across from the motel there is a "gas station" it is a pay at pump only even though there is a building that appears to have once been a convenience store that is no longer open. The grocery store is quaint but to get certain things we did drive 20 minutes into Carlsbad. Motel was wonderful as was the staff.

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.
