I have stayed at this EconoLodge in the past and it was OK then. They have done a lot of remodeling recently and it Very nice for an inexpensive palce to stay in Carlsbad. Carlsbad is seeing an oil boom now so it about as costly to stay there and it is in Austin.

Unfortunately, this is one of the dirtiest rooms I’ve stayed in. It was convenient while traveling to Carlsbad caverns with several dining options near by. It looks like the owners have made attempts to revamp the exterior of the property but unfortunately they fall short with the interior of the rooms. We arrived about 10 and did call the desk to let them know the room smelled of smoke so we wouldn’t be charged and they offered to move us. It was late and my kiddo had already fallen asleep so I declined. But quickly regretted not asking for another room. The age of a property can be overlooked but not cleanliness!

I had made reservations for Thursday and Friday but had to leave urgently on Friday morning I didn't even have time to let the front desk clerk know about my check out . Breakfast was very unsatisfactory there was not but 3 biscuits in warmer the gravy was pretty much gone and what was left was dry the pancake machine was something to look at because all a guest had to do was wave and watch ur pancake be made but after waving and waving at it nothing came out , there was no one in kitchen to let know. I had to go to the front desk and let him know that there was no batter to make pancakes. He was very kind and fixed it but still only 3 Minnie pancakes where made then again same problem no more mix. I decided to just have a pkg of oatmeal and went about my morning. I didn't get to enjoy my lil vacation like I planned because I so urgently had to get bk home to Odessa. I checked in late Thursday evening and left early Friday morning, lost my money on the room that I didn't even stay the 2 nites. Hopefully I'll get to try my vacation again next month.

I cannot believe anyone has left reviews saying this place was excellent with cleanliness because as soon as we stepped in the room there was dead cockroach on the floor and a live one on the ceiling. And the room smelled like someone had just smoked a pack of cigarettes before we walked in. Also the surrounding area and parking lot was so sketch. We left immediately and got a room up the road somewhere else. Would not recommend at all
