Location is insanely convenient to Carlsbad Caverns National Park. There is nothing around here though - gas station across the street doesn't have a convenience store. So bring anything you need or be prepared to drive back to Carlsbad. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Other guests were very friendly too. Room met or exceeded most expectations. Would stay here again.

Misleading breakfast ad

The location is perfect for when visting the Caverns. The room was clean and big. And so was the bathroom. However the breakfast offered is not good at all. A box of fruit loops and coffee... seriously? I feel that that's more of a corteous snack for those who stay. It shouldnt be labeled as breakfast included. Very misleading when other hotels actually invest in issuing breakfast for their guest.

The room was a great size and very clean. The staff was amazing and so accommodating. The ice machine was broken but the office staff had some for us. The slide was closed which was a bummer as that was one reason we chose this place. It is very close to the cavern which was nice.

Across from the motel there is a "gas station" it is a pay at pump only even though there is a building that appears to have once been a convenience store that is no longer open. The grocery store is quaint but to get certain things we did drive 20 minutes into Carlsbad. Motel was wonderful as was the staff.

This place is convenient for visiting the Carlsbad Caverns. Its clean, quiet, and decently priced, but go into town for food, and bring your own entertainment, although there is wifi. I would likely stay there again if I were to revisit the caves. One small QOL suggestion to the inn: Get some of those night-stand lights with a USB plugin so guests can charge their phones.

It’s what you’d expect from the area. Nothing to write home about but felt really safe and did the trick for a stopping point to see the caverns on our way through to Utah. I can see how others feel it’s run down, but the price and convenience were worth it.
