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.

Great stay. Rooms were clean, staff was friendly. Appreciated the continental breakfast and the fact that is right at the entrance of Carlsbad Caverns. Pool wasnt the most amazing, but kids liked the splash pad and water slide.

Nice, convenient, super beds
This is a nice hotel. Conveniently located, clean, safe, lots of parking. It’s a little older and the AC wasn’t cold, but all in all a great stay. The beds are super comfortable.

The caverns basically at your doorstep.
The hotel is at the perfect location for visiting Carlsbad Caverns, nice Waterpark (slides were closed at this time of year) and a lot of updating has happened. I will say that there is a slight scent of mold/ mildew, which does happen in older buildings, and it did set my allergies off. The staff are wonderful and friendly, and the restaurant next door was delicious.

Convenient place to stay
Rooms are soundproof in comparison to other hotels/motels.
Great central location to Guadalupe Peak and Carlsbad.
Bring camp stove to cook on and/or electric skillet to cook with, also come prepared with items to cook in microwave. Nearby cafe closes at 3pm and is also closed Sunday and Monday.
Town of Carlsbad is about 20 minutes away and shuts down early.

Great Location
Friendly staff, a great location for Visiting Carlsbad Caverns NP, fun pool and slide make this an easy choice if you plan to visit the National Park or need a stop along your route.
The rooms are comfortable enough for an older establishment. Plenty of secure parking.
One downside, there is no place to get dinner.
I would still stay there in the future.

Come for the water slides
What a great little spot to stay after a long drive. The pool and water slide were awesome and we had a great time.
