The wifi & the fridge did not work. When we told the person in the office about this the next morning, we received a defensive and unfriendly response, blaming us for the problems, and refusing any compensation.

This is an older hotel, and the lady in the office says that she has been working there for 9 years but doesn't really like it (she didn't have to tell me that). Although the wallpaper is peeling in places, and the bathrooms very much need updating, the place was clean, and it is the cheapest place to stay in... More

Fake drawers- that's right no drawers to store your clothes! Broken shower head and drain. The room stinks, and service has not been that very good. I would understand if I was paying about $20 less. Old keys are still used and it is difficult to get back into my room every time. The hot and cold knobs on sink... More

I have been there several times driving through NM to TX. Clerks were nice, late night check in was great and the service was great. Close to the Carlsbad Caverns and a quiet area in the town. I would recommend this place to anyone needing a great deal on a nice room in Carlsbad.

The toilet bowl was not properly installed and the water was leaking all over the bathroom floor. There are rust in the bathroom faucet.Our... More

I'm happy they had a room at this hotel when I couldn't stay at the hotel I had reserved (Motel 6 right across the parking lot). Had to wait for the room to be clean since I didn't have reservations, but the rooms are really large. Furniture is old and stained but fairly clean. They keep the pool locked because... More

The air conditioner broke after a couple hours on a record breaking heat wave. The owners refused to move me to another room nor even offer a partial refund!

Stayed here one nite during Memorial Day weekend. Other places we tried were full. Seems to have gone downhill, as AAA no longer recommends it. Door to room was difficult to unlock and shower faucet had a steady drip. Most disappointing was the non-functional WiFi. A previous reviewer mentioned this, so I asked if it was working when I called.... More
