Pleasantly surprised at how big and spacious the room was. However, most of the outlets in the room did not work and there was no way to reset the GFCI. Also, the TV was fuzzy. The staff were kind though. If you’re looking for a basic place to stay after visiting Carlsbad Caverns, this place will suffice.

There was some miscommunications between Expedia & the hotel in regards to reservations. I booked 2 non-smoking king rooms online. Upon arriving, was given 2 so called double queen rooms. The beds were not true queen beds. I have a tall spouse and the bed was shorter. After some discussions, The hotel clerk was accommodating and graciously moved us into a smoking king room which turned out to be ok as it was clean smelling and had flooring instead of carpet. It was a very nice room. My other party stayed with the double queen room right next door. All in all, this is a really nice, clean and accommodating place to stay with a nice restaurant next door. We have stayed here before and will stay again if we are in the area. They just need to sync up with the 3rd party reservation sites on room availability so the traveler gets the room they reserved online. I absolutely recommend this hotel.
