Pleasantly surprised at how big and spacious the room was. However, most of the outlets in the room did not work and there was no way to reset the GFCI. Also, the TV was fuzzy. The staff were kind though. If you’re looking for a basic place to stay after visiting Carlsbad Caverns, this place will suffice.

There was some miscommunications between Expedia & the hotel in regards to reservations. I booked 2 non-smoking king rooms online. Upon arriving, was given 2 so called double queen rooms. The beds were not true queen beds. I have a tall spouse and the bed was shorter. After some discussions, The hotel clerk was accommodating and graciously moved us into a smoking king room which turned out to be ok as it was clean smelling and had flooring instead of carpet. It was a very nice room. My other party stayed with the double queen room right next door. All in all, this is a really nice, clean and accommodating place to stay with a nice restaurant next door. We have stayed here before and will stay again if we are in the area. They just need to sync up with the 3rd party reservation sites on room availability so the traveler gets the room they reserved online. I absolutely recommend this hotel.

Pro: 12 min drive to Carlsbad Caverns. Enough parking available and close to gas station and gift store. Spacious room. Con: Water was leaking from the bathroom sink. Bathtub was getting filled with sewage water when the toilet flush was operated. Poor sanitation.

We stayed here for 3 nights. Our main complaint was there was a constant banging sound in our room. We thought it was a washing machine the first night, but when we asked staff the next day, they said they aware of the noise but not sure what it is. The laundry services were nowhere near our room, it wasn’t related to wind, and when the power went out at the hotel, the noise was still there. It woke us up, ans well ans our toddler, multiple times. Also, our tv really only got 1 station. The included breakfast was a to go cereal and whole milk. The hotel is a great location to Carlsbad NP and Guadalupe NP, but there is no evening restaurants for almost 30 minutes. The one restaurant near the hotel was closed 2 of the 3 days we were there, and they are not open for dinner. The “grocery store” across the street was very over priced and also didn’t have a lot of options, so we recommend stocking up on food and drinks before you arrive or be prepared to drive back to Carlsbad for food.

I checked out of this property due to finding a bed bug. The woman at the front desk was extremely rude regarding this matter and in general. She offered not assistance or hospitalality and instead was curt and unsympathetic. I asked her about the charge when I arrived and she shrugged that she did not know. I wanted to make sure that I was not double charged for the stay. I also found my room outdated, uncozy, creepy, and not completely clean up on arrival. I found a spider and a couple ants, but let this go. When I saw a bed bug, I immediately checked out. It was on the floor but not doubt there were more and I did not wanting crawling on me or my belongings. This establishment should take this issue more seriously.

So if you’re going to Carlsbad Caverns, stay here unless you want a little bit of a better breakfast included. Closest to the Caverns. The tv was pretty bad but a lot of channels were watchable. I stayed heret@ to go to Guadalupe NP. I would stay here. Although hopefully they fix the ice machine.
