I've been traveling throughout New Mexico for over a year now and this is probably the nicest hotel I've stayed in at around the $150 price point and below.

Nice rooms, friendly staff. Limited breakfast. Carlsbad is a boom town right now with oil and gas trucks and work pick-ups clogging the streets and workers filling the hotels so don’t expect anything else!

It’s actually surprisingly nice stay for the Cave tour on the next morning. The room is good very size. It has a clean and nice bathroom, together with a small but full kitchen. They have a very small fitness area but only good for simple workouts or just cardio. Overall a great stay.

Smelly room

Room smelled oil and grease due to rooms mostly for men who work the oilfields. I requested another room but was denied. Will not be staying there again.

Room was great, minus blood stained comforter

Front desk was really friendly. Breakfast was ok. The room was larger than I anticipated which was nice. We found some tiny blood stains on one of the comforters the morning of check out. I brought it to the front desk’s attention, not sure that came of it, since I left.

We asked for a handicapped-accessible room and were pleased to see all the grab bars and low tub threshold. We also like the size of the room and the movable table. The only complaint was the unusually loud refrigerator.

Great hotel, but don’t believe all the pictures

Overall it is a great hotel. My one gripe (preventing me from giving all smilies) was there was no pool. The pictures on the site show a pool but it is a community pool in town, not at the hotel. My daughter was very disappointed.

The efficiency had not even enough utensils for 2 people. The main issue was a very loud refrigerator that we reported to 3 staff members but never was fixed. Staff were very pleasant.
