Clean and convenient, nice amenities
We stayed here while exploring the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns. The room was plenty big for the 4 of us (2 adults & our 2 college children). The room and facilities were clean and nice. The room could have used a little deep cleaning, but overall it was clean. We did somehow accidentally get a handicap accessible room, so not sure what the size difference/layout would be for a regular room, but ours was good and worked well for us. We cooked breakfast in the room and packed lunches everyday, then ate out for dinner. I was not sure what cooking/eating equipment would be there so we brought our own. There was a full size refrigerator, 2 burner stovetop, small sink, microwave, toaster, mini coffee pot and mini dishwasher. It was just right for what we needed (definitely could have used bigger coffee pot, but we just made a lot of pots). I also saw things like a crockpot and BBQ tools that you could check out if you wanted. My family did go down to the continental breakfast for waffles, which they said were good. There was also some fruit, a juice machine, and I believe there was cereal. There is also a small "convenience store" in the lobby with snacks, cold drinks, frozen foods, etc. There are a lot of oil field workers that stay here, but I also saw many families on vacation. We were on Spring Break (2nd week of March). It was fairly full but it wasn't overly busy and never felt crowded. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Poor construction but staff and breakfast great
The staff was great and there was someone constantly cleaning or vacuuming anytime we were in the common areas. There’s a lot of oil field workers staying here, so you could tell the staff was used to having to follow behind them to clean up dirt. We (mom and two kids) were on the top floor and I swear the ceiling was made of cardboard. Of the three days we stayed, two were very windy days. The first night, we heard nothing but a weird on/off and extremely loud whirring noise that seemed to be connected to the vent fan in the kitchen. I finally figured out it was the vent on the roof blowing in the wind. The last night, a cold front blew in from a different direction and the roof sounded like it was peeling off of the building. The whole structure was creaking all night, loud enough to wake me up. Overall, the other guests were quiet and the breakfast had a lot of choices. The hotel was neat and the staff nice.

Spacious
Really like the layout of the room, we were on the 4th floor and only 1 elevator. We requested top floor, but if you are unable to do stairs may want a lower floor. Room was clean, full size fridge was very nice. We would definitely stay here again!

Management was unhelpful.
The hotel was fine. Their policy of reservation being non-refundable was unfortunate. When booking on Hotel.com I put my date as 2/5. When the booking went through, it turned out to be 2/20. I hit confirm then immediately realized the error. I immediately went through Hotels.com and they directly reached out to the hotel. They were informed the manager wouldn’t be in until the next day. My husband was driving cross country and needed a hotel room. I made a reservation for 2/5 paying $40 more than my original reservation at their hotel hoping they would realize it was just a mistake. I just heard that they wouldn’t refund the money. I am out $135. Wouldn’t recommend them regardless of how nice the hotel may be. Service is more important.
