So if you’re going to Carlsbad Caverns, stay here unless you want a little bit of a better breakfast included. Closest to the Caverns. The tv was pretty bad but a lot of channels were watchable. I stayed heret@ to go to Guadalupe NP. I would stay here. Although hopefully they fix the ice machine.

The room was clean and relatively modern. The outside of the hotel is a bit dated and not visually inviting. But the price was good and inside the room was fine. Convenient location near Carlsbad Caverns.

Nice inexpensive motel right outside the Carlsbad Cavern Park entrance. Note: the drive to the caves in 7 miles uphill on winding roads. You cannot walk there. This is the closest motel to it. The restaurant across the street is only open until 3 pm. No place for buying snacks close by. The motel does offer soda vending machine & takeout pizza. The drive into Carlsbad is about 30-40 minutes depending. Good restaurants there. While motel was very clean, nice, safe & quiet it’s too far away from amenities for me.

Very convenient location to Caverns and Guadalupe and 20 minutes to Carlasbad for dining. No frills motel. We felt it was by far the best option for the parks. Staying in Carlsbad was very far to get there in the morning but this worked well.

Pretty much exactly as expected - reminded me of the roadside motels we stayed in when I was a child in the 60's and 70's (but renovated since then of course). Nice quiet vibe to it, low key, good value.

The desk clerks were friendly and helpful. However, it took 3 trys to get onto a room. Door handle not working, card reader not working, finally got into room. It was clean and what expected, but the tv did not have a channel w/o static. Also, online there was a restaurant nearby open till 7pm, but was closed at 5:30 when we arrived.

Pros: Clean, very quiet. We stayed here because it’s located so close to the Carlsbad Caverns, fantastic location, just minutes drive to the park enterance. There’s a gas station and a little grocery store right across the street. We did not use the pool but it was sparkling and clean. Cons: No ice machine on property but the front desk clerk told us to bring our drink container in and she’d give us ice for it, which she did and that was nice. Breakfast is individual cold cereal cups and packaged muffins. Overall, we really liked this place, great remote location.
