Huge room, strong showers, wonderful stay!
Shane, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is located right at the entrance to the Carlsbad Caverns National Park. It's also right across the street from the only gas station around. The rooms are large, clean, and comfortable.

Clean, Easy, Good value for price.
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Surprisingly good!
Scott, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We were traveling during off season with a dog and they have us a first floor room which was nice. We were able to park right in front of our room. Breakfast was very basic, but the coffee maker in the room had Folgers coffee. The location can't be beat! Just a few minutes drive from Carlsbad Caverns. We would stay there again.
