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.

Nice enough for what we paid. Weird thing is that there is a different sign out front. I think it only recently became an Econolodge and they never did update the sign. Breakfast was quite good.

The room they gave us had 3 dead cockroaches in it so we knew it hadn't been cleaned well. The bed linen and cover were musty smelling. We did not get a refund.

As I talked and explained to your staff, it was not a pleasant experience !! This property did not care to even put up the correct name at the front. Thry seemed to have acquired an old property and refurbishing is not complete !! Breakfast is just terrible !! Please do not recommend this property to your customers Thank you
