Breakfast? There was nothing, not even coffee. The room smelled bad, the bathtub was peeling, and the floor was very dirty, especially around the bed. I easily saw dead bugs.

Spacious rooms, the pressure from the shower head is strong, it feels like a water massage, feels good. The coffee is perfect, not watered down. The continental breakfast has delicious biscuit and gravy. Channel selection offers a good range of options to watch. Washer and dryer on site is convenient.

I have stayed at this EconoLodge in the past and it was OK then. They have done a lot of remodeling recently and it Very nice for an inexpensive palce to stay in Carlsbad. Carlsbad is seeing an oil boom now so it about as costly to stay there and it is in Austin.

Unfortunately, this is one of the dirtiest rooms I’ve stayed in. It was convenient while traveling to Carlsbad caverns with several dining options near by. It looks like the owners have made attempts to revamp the exterior of the property but unfortunately they fall short with the interior of the rooms. We arrived about 10 and did call the desk to let them know the room smelled of smoke so we wouldn’t be charged and they offered to move us. It was late and my kiddo had already fallen asleep so I declined. But quickly regretted not asking for another room. The age of a property can be overlooked but not cleanliness!
