Best of both worlds! We spent a day in Carlsbad, NM and a day at the Caverns and didn't have to use two motels: this is right at the entrance road to the Caverns and has a fine restaurant and gas station nearby. The manager was a delightful lady who was helpful in making our stay pleasant. Great location, great staff, great place to stay!

We only stayed 1 night but the room was clean and very spacious. They did have a breakfast in the morning, but if you arrive late make sure you eat beforehand or bring food. The room has a small refrigerator and microwave. Bed was comfortable and we slept great. Close to Carlsbad Caverns so we checked out and spent a few hours exploring. Very convenient area and staff were friendly. Parking was great also, pleasant of spaces.
