The hotel manager went to a store himself to buy my 90-year-old mother a non-slip bath mat for the bathtub. The hotel staff was knowledgeable of the area and suggested restaurants and activities. A hot tub was pictured in promotional materials provided by Marriott on the Expedia website, however, there is no hot tub. Marriott ought to remove that hot tub photo. The breakfasts were good, and a variety of main course selections were provided every day of our stay. The rooms are spacious, with plenty of walking room between beds, walls, doors and counters. The kitchen had a good-sized refrigerator, not a mini-fridge, a sink and stove, and was stocked with basic cooking utensils. All-in-all, the Town place Suites in Carlsbad, New Mexico, is a great place to call home base as you see the local sites. My sister, mom, and I had a great time in the area.
