The room was clean and quiet. It was easy to check in and out, and the pool and splash pad were clean. The Cactus Cafe next door had great food. Great location- just 5-10 minute drive to the Caverns from the hotel. I would stay here again.

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.
