Top Carlsbad Museum & Art Center Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Best place I have stayed in a very long time! I highly recommend it to everyone!!"

Carlsbad Inn New Mexico

8/10 Good

"Lots of road noise, but that can't be helped given its location. That is the only reason I gave them a 4. Good value overall."

Comfort Suites Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very clean. The lobby was decorated for fall and they have lots of snacks and drinks available for travelers, even freshly popped popcorn! Staff was very helpful to make recommendations of local attractions. The pool area is exceptionally unique and private."

Baymont by Wyndham Carlsbad NM

8/10 Good

"Outstanding customer service, staff members were very helpful and polite. Rooms were very clean and very nice well kept. Hotel has a very clean parking lot and has plenty of spaces for all vehicles. I would have to say they do have an outstanding breakfast for the residents the stay. My family and I will definitely be coming back to this location. Thank you."

MainStay Suites Carlsbad South

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay in Carlsbad."

Days Inn by Wyndham Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"The hotel has several upgrades that I appreciated, such as the laminate floors and the spacious shower. Parking is convenient, and the hotel is located just 20 minutes from Carlsbad Caverns National Park. However, the breakfast could have offered a better variety; I missed having fruit. On a positive note, the staff at the front desk is very kind and accommodating. Overall, it was a pleasant stay despite the breakfast options."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was really good! From the staff, room, mattress, pool & breakfast. Breakfast had bacon, sausage & eggs, you don't get that often. The room was clean and spacious. The mattress was a wonderful pillow top & pillows were comfy. Hotel is modern & well kept up. The pool was so nice after a hot day at the caverns, and sparkling clean. Only negative was not the hotel's fault. If you're there on a Sunday & Monday, know that many restaurants are closed. I struggled to find anything other than McDonald's open. Also, beware of parking next to the guests with big work trucks (there's many of them). My car got scratched. Overall, 10 out of 10. Thank you La Quinta!"

Fiddler's Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The suite was amazing. So many amenities, so well done. Enjoyed every minute of it."
