The room was larger than expected, and was immaculately clean. The king-size bed was very comfortable. The air conditioner/heater was easy to adjust. Check-in was fast and easy, and the price was great. Breakfast was simple, but sufficient. We were right at the entrance to the Carlsbad Caverns, which was very convenient. The only negative was that there were no restaurants close by for dinner. We had to drive into Carlsbad to get dinner.

We were traveling during off season with a dog and they have us a first floor room which was nice. We were able to park right in front of our room. Breakfast was very basic, but the coffee maker in the room had Folgers coffee. The location can't be beat! Just a few minutes drive from Carlsbad Caverns. We would stay there again.
