The first eoom we got had a clogged toilet. The second room we got didnt have stoppers in the sink nor bath drain. The beds and bedding were clean. Both rooms the toilets rocked (loose on their mountings) and rooms are kinda dirty and worn. There were pieces of breakfast cereal on the floor in both rooms. Very disappointed, will not be staying here again

This is a fairly dated motel but it’s clean and what you’d expect for a 2 star location. Beds were comfortable, we were able to bring our dog, and parking with a trailer was a breeze. Breakfast was cold cereal so that was a little lacking but at least something. We were there in the off season but the pools and slides looked fun.

Went during government shutdown and Caverns were closed. Staff were helpful in cancelling reservation for second night since Caverns were closed. We stayed the first night of the reservation, considering a visit to Roswell the next day. Helpful with restaurant referrals in nearby Carlsbad. Property was ok, budget-type furnishings for a short-time stay. Stayed in October, so summer season was over.

Great hotel near Carlsbad Caverns!

Our stay here was great! We only spent one night, but everything we experienced was excellent. The check-in process was very smooth and we appreciated that the hotel sent us reminder texts and let us know that the Caverns were closed (due to the government shutdown) and that we could cancel our reservation if we needed. The room was very clean and spacious and we enjoyed the breakfast that was provided. We would absolutely stay here again!

Government shutdown happened so no Caverns but we did go down to the Guadalupe Mountains to hike. This location is absolutely perfect for a trip to the caverns though. There’s a water park in season so families with children could have a blast. Hotel was clean and had no smell, which is a game changer for me. Typical rooms but have a good refrigerator, a microwave and small coffee pot. BIGGEST drawback…the only restaurant close closes at 3:00 so you have to plan accordingly or drive back in to Carlsbad. There is a small grocery store that has snacks across the street that stays open until 6:00. Will definitely come back to see the Caverns and hike more in the Guadalupe Mountains.

The lady at the front desk was especially friendly and helpful.The hotel is older, but clean and well maintained, and a great price. We did not use the pool and water park because they were closed for the season, but I'm sure the young ones would enjoy the slide and splash pad. The pool was small, but looked sparkling clean. The breakfast provided was not great, but provided the basics - cereal, muffins, coffee, juice, and some fresh fruit. The Carlsbad Caverns were unfortunately closed due to the government shut down. There is not much else to do in White City - not even any restaurants open for dinner. We had to drive to Carlsbad for that. We did find the lovely Sitting Bull Falls about an hour drive away.
