Eastern New Mexico, New Mexico hotel rooms at the Independent

"Had a good experience"

"Yes"

"You noticed the cleanliness the minute you walk in the lobby. Not just doesn’t look clean, but it smells clean. The staff are superb, very attentive to your needs. There is a grocery store right around the corner, to get whatever you need. It is well situated for easy access to the main road, but far enough from it that it is very quiet here and peaceful."

"Neat historic hotel, but our room 311 had no air conditioning and the window didn’t have a screen on it. A few great places to eat and drink within walking distance of the hotel."

"The Cavern Inn is about 15-20 minutes from the Carlsbad Caverns visitor center. We went up there for the bat flight and then back the next morning for the cave tour. If we had stayed in Carlsbad, NM, it would have been a lot more driving. We arrived in early April on a family spring break vacation. The water park was closed - don’t know if that’s permanent or just too early in the season. There is one restaurant in Whites City and it closes at 3pm, so we had to drive to Carlsbad for dinner before the bat show (and get cheaper gas than the gas station in Whites City). For breakfast, you have a choice of cereal, juice, and commercial pastries or getting 10% off at the nearby restaurant. We split up and did both. People who at at the hotel enjoyed talking to the staff and guests over a basic breakfast; people who ate at the restaurant said the food was good but service was a little slow (down to one cook, but not many customers). For the price and location near the NP, the Cavern Inn was a no-brainer. Quiet, good AC, good WiFi. The gift shop across the street is a good place for getting drinks and snacks. "

"Stayed for one night. Exceeded my expectations. Conditions were good, complimentary breakfast was good. "

"not a lot to offer in the area"

"Excellent customer service. "

"Weve stayed here multiple times traveling back and forth to Arizona. Always feel comfortable here with roomy accommodations and comfortable beds and pillows. Also the breakfasts are great with quality foods."
