This is an older hotel that has been kept up very well. The closeness to Carlsbad Caverns made this a great place to stay. Breakfast was very minimal, but there was a nice cafe next door. Would stay again if in the area.

This is an older style hotel, but the grounds were clean and the rooms were larger. The water pressure was great and the kids loved the pool and water slide. It is a perfect place to stay when visiting Carlsbad Caverns, especially if going back in the evening for the bat flight. There is a restaurant nearby with great food. We enjoyed our stay.

I would absolutely recommend this hotel especially for a family with little kids! The room was so spacious you could set up a playpen and still have room it also had a small table with 2 chairs. The room smelled clean! Not that musty smell you get from other hotels. It's at the entrance to Carlsbad National Park and down the road is a town with all kinds of stores and restaurants. Downfall was breakfast it was cereal cups, muffins and apple and oranges with juice and coffee but that was it. Over all yes stay here!!

The kids enjoyed the pool and water slides. The grounds were dirty and not well kept. The rooms seemed pretty clean. It’s just old and not well maintained.
