The staff was friendly. The room was clean and recently remodeled, but there was a hole in the bathroom wall and the TV didn't work. The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were small. Breakfast was decent. It was an impromptu place to stay to get to Carlsbad Cavern early the next morning. I wouldn't want to spend more than a night there

Front staff was very nice and welcoming. The room was just not very good. I had stains all over the walls, the toilet always took 2 flushes to actually flush, my towels had stains and hairs on them, the walls are super thin so you hear everything happening next door, and my door would not stay shut. I had to use the deadbolt to get it to stay shut

After reading the positive reviews, we decided to reserve a room here. The staff were helpful, but struggled to get us an acceptable room. The first room did not have a full fridge, which we reserved as we were traveling and needed to put things in a freezer. We were moved to a second room with a full fridge, but it was not clean. We were moved a third time. The room basically looked fine, bedding and towels were clean, but the corners of the room, door jams etc need a deep clean. Breakfast was fine. The grounds also needed a lot of work. They were littered with cigarette butts, q-tips, candy wrappers etc…I personally would not choose to stay here again.

Spacious rooms, the pressure from the shower head is strong, it feels like a water massage, feels good. The coffee is perfect, not watered down. The continental breakfast has delicious biscuit and gravy. Channel selection offers a good range of options to watch. Washer and dryer on site is convenient.
