If you're going to both Carlsbad and Guadalupe Mountains, this is a nice spot to be closer than town. It is older but it was clean and comfortable without issues. Be aware that the restaurant across the street closes early, so you'll likely need to go into Carlsbad for dinners or have your own food.

This is a great value for the money and the best place to stay when visiting the caverns. This is an older budget friendly motel but the place is extremely clean and well kept. You are less than a minute from the road that leads to the caverns and just 20 minutes from town. Very quiet and relaxed place.

The Receptionist was awesome, very kind, helpful and welcoming!! The room was really nice and roomy, although the TV was not mounted on the wall, just sitting on the Dresser, which made it hard to watch from the Bed. My only complaint would be that the internet was really slow and almost unusable. Trying to watch a football game in chunk segments was rather annoying.
