It is everything you need for one night passing through. Comfortable and reliable. Although you can hear every single car passing in the morning. But inside the room everything is perfect.

This was my second stay at Carlsbad Inn. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and the sheets and towels were too. There was plenty of parking and the area has plenty lighting. They have ice machines for customers and trash cans throughout the property.

The room was clean and the pool was great. The one thing is they called it an inn when there is no restaurant.

Standard roadside motel, reasonably comfortable. We enjoyed the pool and the excellent ice machine on the very hot day we were there. Playground is probably ready to be torn down, seemed a bit unsafe.

Good times at the Carlsbad Inn

The hotel was great, pool was well maintained and clean, we were on motorcycles and owners offered us towels (old ones of course) so we could shine them up after a long ride. I noticed an array of workers (oil field related) but every one was respectful and personable (I believe the hotel staff reflected that) and quiet hours were respected. I would not hesitate to bring wife and kids there, a very safe environment.
