The closest motel to Carlsbad Caverns. Nice size room, good bed, clean, and a surpisingly good value given its proximity to the Nationalp Park. OK breakfast. The one downside is after 3 pm, the closest restaurants are about 30 minites away.

This is an older hotel that has had some renovations. For the most part this place is clean and comfortable. Really this place is all about location. We spent 2 nights because we used it to visit both Guadalupe National Forest as well as Carlsbad Caverns. This place was by far best location for easiest access to both those locations.

This motel is about location. It is 7 minutes from Carlsbad caverns. It is reasonably priced and clean. It has a free grab and go breakfast that is very basic but convenient. There is no food nearby so make sure to pack your dinner or you’ll be making a 40 minute round trip to Carlsbad.

Older property that offers a Continental breakfast. The staff was friendly and the beds were comfortable. The restaurant next door was closed due to unforeseen reasons. The only other option for food was 20 miles away except for the small grocery store across the street. I would stay here again, but would be prepared for meal options. The restaurant was open the day we left. We had breakfast there and the good was great!

I was scared when I booked this room because it was so inexpensive but it turned out to be good. I have no complaints about the room. The breakfast was cereal and muffins but we ate at the nearby Cactus Cafe which was great. The hotel is close to the Caverns but far from Carlsbad. If that works for you, it is a winner.

It was close to Carlsbad Caverns and an easy drive to Guadalupe Mountains national Park. Probably depends on the season but in February the only restaurant in town was closed. Had to eat food from the limited supply convenience store.
