I had reservations about staying at an Inn, but was pleasantly surprised. It is the closest place to Carlsbad Caverns. The beds were comfortable and the room was spacious and clean.

Rooms were clean by and large but one of the rooms had gnats, the sidewalks outside needed to be swept, staff were pleasant but check in was slow, it was very conveniently located to Carlsbad Caverns.

Went during government shutdown and Caverns were closed. Staff were helpful in cancelling reservation for second night since Caverns were closed. We stayed the first night of the reservation, considering a visit to Roswell the next day. Helpful with restaurant referrals in nearby Carlsbad. Property was ok, budget-type furnishings for a short-time stay. Stayed in October, so summer season was over.

The staff were great. They were extra accommodating for my ada family members. The complex is big. It's somewhat older, but the location to Carlsbad Caverns was amazing. Wish we could have swam. The facilities looked fun! The continental breakfast was very basic.

We appreciated the location of the hotel with relation to Carlsbad Caverns and the hiking we wanted to do. Dining options on the Sunday and Monday were non-existent. So, we drove 20 minutes into Carlsbad for dinner both nights. The room was comfy. We especially loved the visit from the Mule Deer.

This is a nice hotel. Conveniently located, clean, safe, lots of parking. It’s a little older and the AC wasn’t cold, but all in all a great stay. The beds are super comfortable.
