Clean, huge rooms and a perfect location right by Carlsbad Caverns. The interior needs a little updating, and the breakfast is basic (just muffins and packaged cereal), but for the price and proximity to the park, it’s a great value. I’d definitely stay here again!

Very friendly staff, pet-friendly, and convenient to Carlsbad Caverns. One thing to be aware of is there is just one restaurant nearby and it’s only open 8am to 3pm. Everything else is in Carlsbad.

A wonderful find. An older place that is kept up well. GREAT BBQ dinner on site. Check-in staff was wonderful and the room was clean and comfortable. In my cross-country drive - this was a favorite place to rest the head for the night.
