Clean, huge rooms and a perfect location right by Carlsbad Caverns. The interior needs a little updating, and the breakfast is basic (just muffins and packaged cereal), but for the price and proximity to the park, it’s a great value. I’d definitely stay here again!

Perfect spot if you’re hitting Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Super convenient location and the front desk was really nice and helpful. Nothing fancy but exactly what you need after a long day out exploring.
