Don't even consider this place! Keep driving...

Went to visit the caverns and it seemed that all the motels/hotels in Carlsbad had no vacancy (explanation given: cavern tourists and oil workers in town). Needless to say this place or shall I say...

Filthy and disgusting

After reading various reviews online, I thought I was booking at a different hotel in Carlsbad. I also realized that this part of New Mexico doesn't seem to have many choices in decent hotels, and...

Bait and Switch

Classic Bait & Switch experience. The hotel advertises in one of those books that provides "coupons" for a discounted stay. But then when you get there they say they have no more coupon-eligible...

Almost checked out early - terrible

Mentioned a coupon discount to the clerk, he knew nothing of it. Breakfast is cheap doughnuts and bad coffee. The rooms are in very poor shape, I had to unplug the fridge it was so noisy, the bed was...

Free internet - you get what you pay for

If you need internet during your stay, like I did, best to keep looking. The advertised free internet (high speed) is slower than dial up at best. Imagine transfer rates of 3 to 9 kb/s and that only...

What a dump!

I was looking for a hotel with an indoor pool in Carlsbad, NM. That limited the pool of hotels to choose from amongst what appeared to be a meager crop of choices, based on reviews I'd read on this...

Basic, clean, good

TripAdvisor traveller rating: 4 of 5 stars

For the price, this hotel exceeded expectations. We (5 adults) comfortably stayed in one of their very large 3 queen bed units very cheaply. It was non-smoking, safe and quite clean, spacious (could...

Typical Carlsbad 1* lodging

giantsfan2, San Francisco — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 05:00:00 GMT

TripAdvisor traveller rating: 2 of 5 stars

Recently I had the experience of sampling two of Carlsbad's 1* roadside motels. The motels in Carlsbad are generally old and of poor quality and they tend to "compete" based on dubious claims made on...

This is not a 3-star hotel

A TripAdvisor Member, Rio Rancho, NM — Mon, 10 Oct 2005 04:00:00 GMT

We were four couples travelling together and had made our reservation over the internet for four rooms at this alleged "3-star" hotel on the second weekend of October 2005. This is what we found: a....

Great value, but dont expect the Hilton

TripAdvisor traveller rating: 4 of 5 stars

Room was small but reasonably clean. plenty of parking and the property is well maintained (no trash, bottles, grass was cut, etc.,,). Forget the continental breakfast: coffee (bad), juice and two...
