It's more than it might first appear.
Not what we expected but turned out to be a fun adventure. If you are one or two people looking for a compact clean basic place for a reasonable price and friendly staff, don't be put off by first appearances. There are no frills and the complementary breakfast burritos were really good and just the right size. Only glitch was I forgot to let them know we would not be eating breakfast the second morning. Felt bad when we had to leave.

I liked it was close to the area we needed. Went to The Brewing Company to eat. AmaZING food and great entertainment.
The room itself, was not a queen bed, but a full size bed.
The room was very clean.
The staff were very kind and helpful.
They do have a continental breakfast, they also make a nice breakfast burrito.
Thank you.

It was good for 2 people looking for a place to spend a night on the road. Room was small. You wouldn't want to have more than two people in the room.

When I first arrived I thought no way! In an industrial terrain? Pods set up for emergency lodging? Then I opened our room and found a gem.
Pristine clean, comfortable bed and with delightful touches that showed care like origami flowers on toilet paper and facial tissue. Thick and lush bath towels. I had not experienced this when first viewing the motel. Service was very friendly and efficient plus a tasty breakfast. We picked the motel due to its close proximity to Carlsbad Caverns.

The check in at this property was quick and easy. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The room was very clean and comfortable. The surprise upon checking out was that the owner saved the hot breakfast burritos for us, realizing we didn't make it for the continental breakfast accompanied by the fresh, hot and delicious egg burritos. Very thoughtful and a personalized feel to the stay!!

This is a very economical choice but great for the price. The staff was awesome, friendly, and accommodating. The room is very small but clean and comfortable. If you're just needing a place to sleep for a night or two this place is awesome.

Not as advertised
I thought this might be an interesting place to stay and it was. However, it wasn't as nice as I had hoped. I knew the room would be small and space would be tight, but wow....one or 2 bodies in the room fills it up. If all you are doing is coming in, using the bathroom and going to bed, it's fine. Not good for those who are claustrophobic. The sheets and pillow cases were well worn although they did appear clean. There were a few tiny bugs on the bed that we could not identify...they were definitely NOT bed bugs but it still made us a little uneasy. I had read about great breakfast burritoes so I was greatly disappointed by only having a cup of coffee and the option of 2 cold breakfast cereals and some granola bars and bags of chips. Wow. Not sure who wrote the reviews I had read.

Hotel is clean, and affordable, but rooms are very small. Good choice for a single person on a work trip. Free breakfast includes burritos, but they are 'meh'. Owner is friendly and responsive.

It was fine for what we needed, cool idea, staff was very night and accommodating. It was close enough to Carlsbad, bed was clean, towels didn’t seem clean. Breakfast was grab and go. Overall would stay here again if passing through.
