8.6/10 Excellent! (1,703 reviews)
The room was spacious and clean. I liked the sink outside the bathroom. The pool and waterslide and features were fun and one of the reasons I stayed there. The breakfast was cereal, juice, apples and oranges, and mini muffins. Another advantage is it is 7 miles from Carlsbad Caverns. The restaurant was great, but is closed on Sunday and Monday so be aware if that is when you are traveling.
