I got a room for 2 nights. The AC sounded like a freight train and I wasn’t able to sleep, the cupboard doors in the “kitchen” were coming off and the toilet need a good scrub. I asked for a different room for the second night. The sink wouldn’t drain, again, the toilet could have been cleaner and there was a dead cockroach in the tub, but the AC was quiet. The breakfast bar is mostly Ok—a bit spare and the eggs are an abomination. The bathroom by the breakfast room was not clean and poorly maintained.

Property shows its age but has been updated. Thin walls so it can be a little noisy. Staff work hard to keep it clean, great job. No real complaints.

Gross- Skip it!

We were in Carlsbad for a one night as part of a long road trip. We chose this hotel due to its proximity to the caverns. What a wreck! We checked in at 1am, after having been on the road all day, and we were exhausted. The girl who handled the check in was extremely cold and unfriendly. We opened the door to our room and got slapped with the strongest cigarette smell. It was overwhelming! We were too tired to complain, and since we were planning on leaving early in the morning we just dealt with it. The beds were so hard, there were not enough blankets, the paint in the room was chipped. The bathroom floor had cigarette ashes all over it- even behind the toilet! Oh and the toilet- disgusting! The shower pressure was wonderful but that’s where the positivity ends! The shower drain was slow, causing the water to fill past my ankles and when I looked down I saw a wad of hair floating around! The shower curtain was stained, and there was dust and hair everywhere. The breakfast was okay. The woman who was working in the morning when we went down to breakfast was really sweet- but aside from her this place is an absolute dive.
