Spotless room. Good job! Older hotel, but the rooms are large and comfortable. Breakfast muffins, cereal, and fruit. Staff very friendly. Would stay again.
The building was old but well taken care of and huge. It was a nice room, and the bed/pillows were very comfortable. I cooked in the room. The refrigerator was a good with a spacious separate spacious freezer. The staff was wonderful. I wanted to check-in early and they let me bring my stuff to my room at 9:00am so I could visit Carlsbad Caverns without a full car. I also asked what the most popular things were to do in and around Carlsbad, and they looked for handouts to give to me including a map of the area. They were super sweet. In fact, it was probably the nicest staff I have ever come across at a hotel!

Great service. Very helpful staff. Great location for carlsbad caverns.
The room was larger than expected, and was immaculately clean. The king-size bed was very comfortable. The air conditioner/heater was easy to adjust. Check-in was fast and easy, and the price was great. Breakfast was simple, but sufficient. We were right at the entrance to the Carlsbad Caverns, which was very convenient.
The only negative was that there were no restaurants close by for dinner. We had to drive into Carlsbad to get dinner.
The hotel is conveniently located at the entrance of cavern national Park. There is a gas station and a few limited choices of restaurants or groceries. More choices are in Carlsbad which is twenty minutes away. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The facility is relatively new. The breakfast is simple.
