Stayed here since the name brand places were all booked. We stayed in a 3 queen, non-smoking room for a really cheap price. The room itself was spacious and everything was in working order. Also included was a microwave and mini-fridge. Free Wifi was up and running just fine. Make no mistake, this is a motel-quality establishment, so adjust your... More

We found this small motel via tripadvisor on our way in to town to see the Caverns. We didn't want anything more than a cheap overnight as we were arriving late and leaving early to visit the Caverns and then move on. There were a number of inexpensive places, but they all looked a sort of shady until we found... More

This hotel is a total dump and the employees are the rudest, most inept hotel staff I have encountered since I stayed in Juarez, Mexico in the 70's and they couldn't speak english! Internet access non-existent, TV was a piece of junk, room walls are paper thin and I could literally go on and on. Just take my advice and... More

I spent one week here in June 2010 for work. It's an older hotel and a bit worn, but a good value. No special amenities and certainly not 4-star quality, but acceptable and affordable. Wireless internet worked fine. "Breakfast" left much to be desired.

We went to Carlsbad Caverns and needed somewhere to stay because we were exhausted from going to the caverns and walking in the caverns. We tried Motel 6. But they had only one room. We needed two rooms because me and my sisters family were traveling together. This place had 2 rooms next to each other. So we decided to... More

This was the worst hotel EVER. The place was filthy and infested with spiders. A huge spider crawled OUT of the bed when we pulled the sheets back. The carpets were nasty. The sheets were filled with holes. The bathroom looked like it needed to be scrubbed with clorox. Even after driving 9 hours, we decided to not stay in... More

Was passing through to go to the Carlsbad Caverns and decided to stay two nights. Room was clean and at a valuable price. Drawbacks were as follows: 1st night was good. 2nd night a noisy family was placed next door to me which constantly slammed the door. Front desk wasn't hospitable. My cellphone wasn't working and had 3 friends that... More

As another reviewer stated, my room reeked ... it took me several hours to air it out. Other than that, I was satisified with my stay and thought it was fairly priced. You can probably do better if you're willing to spend more.

The towels are small and too few, the bathtub doesn't have a stopper. The room reeks of bad perfume. Something must have died in the room for them to spray so much perfume.

This is a bare-bones motel. Bed, towels, and a small tv. That's it. The breakfast is day old all the same donuts and coffee. Thats it---bare-bones.
