Checking in was super easy and the staff was helpful. Was a cute little town and close to the national parks. Just know you will have to drive 20-30 minutes to food.
Best of both worlds! We spent a day in Carlsbad, NM and a day at the Caverns and didn't have to use two motels: this is right at the entrance road to the Caverns and has a fine restaurant and gas station nearby. The manager was a delightful lady who was helpful in making our stay pleasant. Great location, great staff, great place to stay!
Greta place to stay near the parks. Rooms were clean. Parking was easy and safe. Basic breakfast but good enough. Not much located nearby. Staff was amazing.
It’s an old motel but it’s very clean, not updated but all the necessities are there and location wise it’s perfect for the Guadeloupe mountains and calsbad caverns national parks. Staff is very helpful
Friendly staff, easy access to two national parks, bed was super comfortable, clean, quiet, spacious room.

Perfect spot if you’re hitting Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Super convenient location and the front desk was really nice and helpful. Nothing fancy but exactly what you need after a long day out exploring.
Overall a nice stay, room was clean and beds comfortable and reasonably priced. The hotel offers a light breakfast (muffins, cereal and fruit) . The Cactus cafe next door is an option for breakfast or lunch but has a very limited menu and hours it closes at 3pm. The hotel advertises a pool and water park but it has never been up and running when we've stayed. We drove into Carlsbad for dinners which is about a 25 minute drive. The hotels location is great for visiting Carlsbad caverns and Guadalupe Moutains National Park.
Great room, wonderfully helpful staff. Super close to Carlsbad Caverns and about 30 min to Guadalupe. Check hours for restaurant, but Carlsbad is only 15 min away.
Basic room very convenient to Carlsbad. Cant think of any glaring down sides. I would definatley stay again. Very minimal services and the resturauant is closed some days so make sure you have what you need before you stop. The store accross the street was very handy.
The staff were awesome! They were very accommodating. The room was clean and it was right outside the Caverns.

Close to the entrance to the National Park. Rooms clean. Very basic with plugs for electrical outlets challenging when close to the bed. Breakfast simple serial and coffee.

Very friendly staff, pet-friendly, and convenient to Carlsbad Caverns. One thing to be aware of is there is just one restaurant nearby and it’s only open 8am to 3pm. Everything else is in Carlsbad.
