Staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Easy check in, small breakfast offerings but it was adequate. Nice pool and play area for kids. Parking was easy, right in front of the room. Be aware though that there are no restaurants that serve dinner (after 3) anywhere nearby, so you'll need to drive into Carlsbad, about 20 miles away.

Pool was a little chilly and had debris in it. I would not describe what was offered as breakfast, but it was a little something to get you going. Rooms were nice. Location was convenient to the National Park. Not much there except their properties.

This felt more like staying with the family than a motel. The lady at the reception was the kindest I've met in all my travels. To the point of sharing her home-made lunch and asking a solo traveler to call her from their long onward drive to feel less alone. The room was very spacious and very clean. It rained so we didn't get to enjoy the pool area but it all looked clean and very enticing. It was very conveniently located and not having to drive after the bat flight programme in Carlsbad Caverns was very welcome. I would definitely stay again!
