It is in a great spot and was convenient for our trip. It is not a new building and has very low showers(i am a tall person). The joining rooms was a great addition to our stay. We moved 1 bed so that our infant wouldn't fall out at night. Thats when we realized they had not cleand under the beds for at least 7 months. We found a purchase slip that was dated 10/03/2023. Thats why the bad review for cleanlieness. There is only 1 restaurant nearby. Opens at 8am and closes at 3pm.

Gnat-type flying insects came out of the sink drain, sink had a smell, and there was no covering for the drain so things could easily fall down it. The bathtub drain was corroded as well as the drain plug, so I was unable to take a bath. Ice machine was broken; we had to walk all the way to the front desk for ice. Staff, while friendly, was unsure about her answers to our questions about the local area and dining. Didn't find out until the night before the nearby restaurant was only serving breakfast and lunch, causing us to have to drive 15 miles back to Carlsbad for dinner. Motel was located conveniently close to the Caverns, however. If amenities (i.e. dining and pool) advertised are not available, location should let guests know more than a day in advance.

It's literally the only and nearest lodging in White's City (named after Jim White who discovered, explored, and promoted Carlsbad Cavern), just outside the Carlsbad Cavern National Park. All other lodgings you have to drive 30-45 minutes more in Carlsbad. It's spacious, quiet; staff friendly. There are a general store, gift shop, restaurant, and RV park nearby. It's not a place for shopping for night life, but it's great if you just visit the park and have a comfortable lodging.

Pro: The room was clean and the location was great for visiting the Carlsbad Caverns. Con: There wasn’t anything to do around the property. We had to drive to Carlsbad for food. The breakfast here was super basic (muffins, cereal, fruit). The towels were a bit thin.
