Spacious room, comfortable beds, very convenient to Carlsbad Caverns, friendly staff, great price. Only downside is you need to drive to Carlsbad for dinner, as there is only 1 restaurant in Whites City which is open for breakfast and lunch.

Location, Location, Location

This hotel was just what I expected based on other reviews. The location to the national park is ideal if that is why you are there. If you have kids, the pool/water attraction (when open) would also be a major incentive for staying there. It is a dated hotel with basic and a bit shabby room, but was fine. They do have microwave and little fridge and some picnic tables out front which is nice. The free"breakfast " is nothing more than decent coffee (get your own cream if you like that) and boxes of sugared cereals and packaged pastries. Probably not bad if you have kids, but nothing I'd want to eat. Overall I'd definitely stay again for the location and decent accommodations, but would not expect much more.

Pool was closed and we had looked forward to a nice swim. Also there was no dining available and we were told they had tried to contact us, but we did not know, so had to drive all the way back to Carlsbad to get food. Nice hotel/motel with close location to the caves.
