Great hotel with amazing breakfast.
Very nice hotel. Great staff, amazing hot breakfast, super soft towels, and good pressure in the shower (felt like a massage). It seems the hotel had seen some bad times and it is being slowly and steadily being improved. Value for money and better than several higher priced hotels in New Mexico.

Econo road trip
This is an older place trying to make a comeback. The value for my money would make me stay again. Low cost, reasonable property, reasonable hot breakfast and efficient staff. If you’re looking for a super clean and immaculate place, don’t stay here. Looking for value and a place to sleep, you found it.

Eventhough the hotel is under new mgmt & our room (#108) & beds were clean, there were stains on the walls they could've cleaned. Breakfast is passable: It has sausages, eggs, english muffins w/ gravy but no fruits. The pancakes & juice machines were broken though they gave little boxes of OJ & apple juices. Overall, this hotel Econolodge is a great location to explore Carlsbad Caverns NP & it suited us bc we're only staying the night(s) to sleep & on-the-go the next day(s). If you want to enjoy your room , I would suggest to pay more for other well known nearby hotels. Btw there's a Shell gas station & McD w/in walking distance & we decided to eat @ Mariscos de Bucheron. It's a quaint little family owned Mexican restaurant (food is excellent).

Property was okay for our purpose being out in Carlsbad. Shower drain was very slow and caused the drain to smell real bad that would leak out of the restroom if the door wasn’t closed. We did find some live baby roaches too on the walls and close to our sealed snacks. Breakfast bar had a lot of machinery out of service.

This is a gem of a hotel, which we picked for our trip from TX to CA. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The stay came with 2 tokens for drinks at the bar - the on tap IPA was excellent. Heated salt water pool, food truck on-site, amazing artwork and a real mid 20th century feel. Everything we could wish for.

Breakfast was very limited. We were there 3 mornings and all mornings there wasn’t much. Our room was very clean. The whole motel needs some updating. They are in the process but they have a ways to go. They advertise a restaurant and a lounge but they are presently closed.

Overall the property just looks creepy, the breakfast was not good, things were either overcooked or expired (yogurt expired 3 weeks ago). The room was clean but smelled awful and we felt unsafe.
