We chose this hotel for the pool, but it was run down, full of bees & the slides weren't working. I bet it was a fun property in its glory days of 1995.

It was a good value for the price paid for the location convenience. We drove a long way from California to see the cave - what we needed was a clean room with a comfortable bed - the motel simply serves our purpose. We did not care for the lack of restaurants choice.

Clean, huge rooms and a perfect location right by Carlsbad Caverns. The interior needs a little updating, and the breakfast is basic (just muffins and packaged cereal), but for the price and proximity to the park, it’s a great value. I’d definitely stay here again!
