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.

Older motel but clean and felt safe. Easy access to both Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks. The only services/amenities available after 5pm is an unattended gas station. Be prepared to drive for food, etc. Bring your own entertainment as well - no smart tv. A great deal if you truly just need a place to sleep/shower.

The hotel is conveniently located at the entrance of cavern national Park. There is a gas station and a few limited choices of restaurants or groceries. More choices are in Carlsbad which is twenty minutes away. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The facility is relatively new. The breakfast is simple.

I like that it isn’t a corporate property. Is it old? Yes. It’s on the bare-and-functional end of the spectrum. But it’s charming and in a great location. We’ve stayed here twice now and it’s become our go-to. They’re easy to get in and out of, and it has the charming, summer camp vibe that I appreciate. It’s very no fuss, no frills; but I don’t need much on a roadtrip. We loved the pool when we stayed over the summer.
