Top Carlsbad Hotel Reviews

Comfort Suites Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, nice pool and hot tub. Hotel gym was not great."

Econo Lodge Carlsbad Caverns Area

4/10 Poor

"The advertised pictures do not match the rooms. Deferred maintenance is an issue. I waited at the front desk for 15 minutes while the clerk spoke with someone shopping for bulk pricing. Not sure why he couldn't check me in while he was on the call, since he wasn't using his computer. I finally said something, and, yes, he did two things at once. Spend 20 bucks more and stay anywhere else."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"I asked for two rooms together so I could keep an eye on four grandsons, and the desk staff arranged it. My room was quiet at night. The breakfast room was spotless and the food was good. We spent a lot of time in the outdoor pool which was tidy and clean and towels were available at poolside. My bathroom needed remodeling but that was easy to overlook given how good everything else was. I would stay there again in a heartbeat."

White's City Cavern Inn

8/10 Good

"During a 4 day stay, my room was never cleaned (i.e., empty the trash, wipe down the bathroom counter). The towels, I think were resupplied. the hotel was having some staffing issues. It was clean to begin with but, my trash cans should have been emptied. Cigarette butts in their private sidewalk of the motel. They need to account for the fact that some lodgers are dirty pigs as far as their smoking habits. The breakfast was all industrial food, i.e., packaged mass market sugary cup cakes, sugary prepackaged cereal bowls in. The coffee was low-end Folgers. There was fresh apples, and oranges and milk for the cereal. I was willing to put up with this because the next set of motels will be 19 miles further in Carlsbad. If you intend to stay late for the "bat flights" multiple nights and arrive early before the Park Visitor Center opens in the morning to try to get on one of the limited ranger led tours (24 persons only), then the extra 19 miles one way is costly. I have advise my friends to stay here, but to plan to definitely stop as a big box retailer to load up on packaged salads, sandwiches, microwavable meals etc. The so-called grocery store accross the street has less than one tenth of the typical food items that a corner gas station has."
