Carlsbad North Vacations from $581

The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had to leave a night early due to a family issue and the management was willing to cancel without penalty. The building was nice and our room was clean. However it was undergoing construction, which is the only reason I gave it a four on overall appearance. I would definitely recommend this location.

Great stay great price

This hotel was a mixed bag. Beds were very comfortable and breakfast was great. However, room smelled like Lysol covering for animals being in the room. They were very busy with construction workers staying here and one night they literally ran out of parking spaces. The desk attendant was nice enough to move her vehicle under the entrance so we could have her spot but some people had to park in the dirt area in front of the hotel by the road. It was quite chaotic. We had an adjoining room which made us feel less safe but they were booked so no way to change rooms. The hotel was very convenient to travel out to the National Parks and to get something to eat in town. Certainly not a terrible experience but not the best either.

This is an old outdated motel that has seen better days. The best thing about it is its perfect location in proximity to Carlsbad Caverns. Go prepared though since it is around 30 miles from the city of Carlsbad. The advertised nearby restaurant is closed and the staff did not know if or when it would reopen. There is a small grocery store/ souvenir shop across the street from the motel that we did not visit but staff reported it did not have a great selection of food items. The motel’s advertised continental breakfast consisted of cold cereal, juice, coffee, and packaged muffins. The pool was closed during our stay which we did not know until we got there. Disappointing! The staff members we had interactions with were really friendly and helpful. I did have to wait until 5 pm to get into my room because it had not been cleaned by the stated check in time of 3 pm. They seem to be short staffed in housekeeping. My room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. AC worked great. The shower was nice. Overall, for the price, and especially for the excellent location, this place was good enough.
