This is a good place to stay when visiting Carlsbad Caverns. I was pretty disappointed the pool wasn’t available to use. It’s a really hot area and seeing the pirate area locked up and full of water was really disheartening.

If you're looking for location to Carlsbad Caverns, this is it! Not the best first impression, it definitely could use some cleaning outside but the room was ok. Not 5☆ but great price! Most definitely fine for a night because of its proximity to the park entrance! If the restaurant next door isn't open, prepare to drive into Carlsbad for anything to eat (about 25 min.) You'll have plenty to choose from there!

Whites was nice and clean and the room was spacious, nothing fancy but spacious and clean. The location was close to our destination-Carlsbad Cavern. Front desk women were super friendly.

Misleading breakfast ad

The location is perfect for when visting the Caverns. The room was clean and big. And so was the bathroom. However the breakfast offered is not good at all. A box of fruit loops and coffee... seriously? I feel that that's more of a corteous snack for those who stay. It shouldnt be labeled as breakfast included. Very misleading when other hotels actually invest in issuing breakfast for their guest.

The room was a great size and very clean. The staff was amazing and so accommodating. The ice machine was broken but the office staff had some for us. The slide was closed which was a bummer as that was one reason we chose this place. It is very close to the cavern which was nice.

Across from the motel there is a "gas station" it is a pay at pump only even though there is a building that appears to have once been a convenience store that is no longer open. The grocery store is quaint but to get certain things we did drive 20 minutes into Carlsbad. Motel was wonderful as was the staff.

Not much around, but a nice stop.

We stayed here so we could visit the caves. Older facilities but very nice staff and pool. The area could use more food options.
