this was a good property for the cost, and the location to the caverns could not have been better. The staff was very helpful at check-in and the room is comfortable, clean and accomplishes what we need from a hotel.

Nice room, very large with a private toilet and shower, plus a semi private sink area, I thought that was a nice touch. The area around it was a good vibe with a restaurant and small grocery store. Perfect if you are going to the cavern, it's literally right there.

The room was a great size and very clean. The staff was amazing and so accommodating. The ice machine was broken but the office staff had some for us. The slide was closed which was a bummer as that was one reason we chose this place. It is very close to the cavern which was nice.

Across from the motel there is a "gas station" it is a pay at pump only even though there is a building that appears to have once been a convenience store that is no longer open. The grocery store is quaint but to get certain things we did drive 20 minutes into Carlsbad. Motel was wonderful as was the staff.

Pet friendly and convenient to visit the caverns. Motel style parking in front of or near room. Pool was nice but there was a lot of bird droppings on all the chairs and tables around it. Room was clean and comfortable. Office staff was friendly and helpful.

Pool is open until 10pm. Friendly staff. Kid friendly place. Short scenic drive to Carlsbad national park. About 15 minutes from town. Restaurant next door is good, but a limited menu. Over priced. Gas station across the way. I would stay again.
