Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Our bathroom socket was broken and no one on property to repair so we could not use our hair dryer. TV cable was broken and no remote so we could not watch TV. Too inconvenient to move after unloading everything. They offered no reduction in our rate which was almost the same as a nice new facility in Carlsbad where we had to go anyway because there is no restaurant there.

Staff were great. The pool area and grounds were nice. Close to a little touristy strip mall that was fun. The cons were the air conditioner leaked, the TV picture was fuzzy, and the ice machine was broken. They offered to move us, but we had already settled in and liked the end room. So the problems weren’t a huge issue. We would stay again!!

A comfortable place to rest your head

Do not expect this place to be the Ritz and DO NOT TRY TO CHECK IN EARLY. It's a comfortable place to rest your head. There are no room phones, and the satellite TV can be a little touchy and the rooms out dated. BUT the beds are comfy, the pool is open until 10 when opened and the proximity to the Caverns can't be beat. Also, DO NOT MISS BREAKFAST AT THE CACTUS CAFE. There food is phenomenal and you get a discount for staying at the Inn

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.

The only perk with this hotel is its closeness to Carlsbad caverns. You have no dining options after 3pm. Breakfast is only a muffin or a box of cereal. Next closest town to get any food is 20 miles away.

Classic stay for a Classic trip.

The room was clean and all. The staff was great, it’s just an older hotel so don’t expect a new place. It’s the closest thing to the Caverns and if you want an early start, this is the place. Stayed here when I was a kid in the 80s.
