The office is very run down, check in took forever, hair was present in the shower, which was not ours, the sink did not drain in our room at all, had to brush our teeth in the tub, booked a king room, got 2 queen beds instead, continental breakfast was terrible, muffins and juice from a jug that had to be poured into a cup, not individual ones, terrible pillows, flimsy sheets and blanket on bed, just not a great experience at all.

Great value, we enjoyed a large, clean, comfy room that had all the amenities we needed at a great price. Friendly staff, too. They have what looks like almost a mini water park out front, for warmer days (we were traveling in January), so a nice perk for families, and close to the Carlsbad Caverns, which is why we were there.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
We were given a 2nd floor room even though a first floor room was requested at reservation. Hotel was not full and they had plenty of ground level rooms available. Not sure why the check in clerk insisted all she had was 2nd floor rooms. Room could use updating. Heater barely kept room warm.

Booked a king an after i check in and got to my room it was doubles. It said 4 available. But the lady at the front desk acted like nothing she could do. And no kings available. But the king costed me more money. So if i did it again i would stay 10 miles away and drive to the cavern.
