friendly place that is not showing its age. Very convenient to the Caverns. In fair weather we ate the simple breakfast of coffee, muffin and orange outside. Pleasant talking to other travelers. The grocery store had limited food. Stock up before arriving if you have particular needs.

The room has received nice updating and the air conditioning works with low sound in 100 degree weather. Location is excellent for seeing Carlsbad Caverns.

The property was hard to find, even with GPS. There are roads right next to other roads with different names, and we never saw the sign for "Registration" or "Check-in." And we got there during daylight hours! We finally asked at a grocery store across the street. The ice machine had no ice, and you had to ask at the Check-in.
