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.

Lovely throwback motel with quiet and clean rooms. The room seemed to be very well insulated from noise from surrounding rooms. The room was incredibly clean for a vintage establishment. I would definitely stay again.

The property is older but to my delight, the large room was newly renovated and bright and spotless. There was a king size bed, 2 tables with chairs, a small refrigerator/freezer, coffee maker and large TV. The bathroom had a large tiled walk in shower with a shower chair. There was complimentary muffins and cereal and coffee every morning at the office. The office is small but there is a table and chairs for 6 to eat at. We saw 2 front desk ladies during our stay and both of them were friendly, attentive and helpful. If we find ourselves in the area again we will stay at White’s City Cavern Inn.

There was not a shower curtain in the shower-I had to go ask for one. It just didn't feel clean throughout. No attention to corners, etc. There were no plugs in the drains, which was weird-keep an eye on what might fall in! The check-in person was friendly enough, but very slow. The breakfast isn't a breakfast, and there is nowhere to eat the prepackaged muffin...if you wanted to, ha. I think the topper was when she reached behind her and handed me a wadded up shower curtain, and said, "Oh, sorry."

The building was old but well taken care of and huge. It was a nice room, and the bed/pillows were very comfortable. I cooked in the room. The refrigerator was a good with a spacious separate spacious freezer. The staff was wonderful. I wanted to check-in early and they let me bring my stuff to my room at 9:00am so I could visit Carlsbad Caverns without a full car. I also asked what the most popular things were to do in and around Carlsbad, and they looked for handouts to give to me including a map of the area. They were super sweet. In fact, it was probably the nicest staff I have ever come across at a hotel!

The office is very run down, check in took forever, hair was present in the shower, which was not ours, the sink did not drain in our room at all, had to brush our teeth in the tub, booked a king room, got 2 queen beds instead, continental breakfast was terrible, muffins and juice from a jug that had to be poured into a cup, not individual ones, terrible pillows, flimsy sheets and blanket on bed, just not a great experience at all.

Great value, we enjoyed a large, clean, comfy room that had all the amenities we needed at a great price. Friendly staff, too. They have what looks like almost a mini water park out front, for warmer days (we were traveling in January), so a nice perk for families, and close to the Carlsbad Caverns, which is why we were there.
