Carlsbad Motels | Places to Stay in Carlsbad

April 22, 2023 Viva Honore

The internationally known Carlsbad Caverns are the biggest tourist draw in this city on the Pecos River. But before or after you've experienced the magnificent caves, you can round out your weekend with some wonderful above-ground sights and activities. If the thought of caves conjures up visions of narrow spaces and dark, cold clamminess, the comfortable year-round 56-degree climate, wide-open spaces and magical underworld of naturally created sculptures will amaze and enthrall you. In the summer, you get to see another natural wonder - some one million bats taking to the skies from the cave entrance every evening at sundown. Hardier cave explorers can take a side trip to the wilder Slaughter Cave for a down and dirty ranger-led tour. Come out from under to the zoo at Living Desert State Park for a glimpse of Chihuahuan Desert wildlife - everything from mountain lions, buffalo, bears and coyotes to reptiles, prairie dogs and roadrunners. Head over to the Lake Carlsbad Recreation Area for river swimming and waterskiing or to Guadalupe Mountains National Park for hiking trails with diverse terrain and incredible views.

Nice stay

Reviewed By michaelpH2708QB

The bad- they gave us a key to a room already occupied. Luckily they were not in it. Reading reviews of hotels out this direction, it appears this is a common thing. There was an old avocado in the refrigerator. An d in the morning I did see one little critter crawling on the floor. The good- the price, the location to the caverns, comfortable beds. The good outdated the bad and for the price I would stay again.

Should have heeded other travelers' reviews!

Reviewed By Badbart_9

This place got a very generous 3 rating because it was survivable for one night and the TV, Internet, shower, and toilet all worked. And the bed was OK. BUT, it deserves no higher rating. It is WAY overpriced for a room that gives you: no light switch near the door like every other motel/hotel room on earth so that if you get in to the room late, you have to bumble around in the dark trying to locate the switches on the lamps scattered around the room, a broken door frame, a cracked window (taped over to hold it together, at least), and one, yes ONE, flimsy wire hanger provided. This also came with an indifferent "welcome" from the surly man in the office. Carlsbad is expensive, but I wished I'd heeded other reviewers and spent more for a room that had been maintained, that offered me the chance to do something wild and crazy like turn on the light upon opening the door, and that allowed me to hang up a shirt AND a pair of pants.

Disappointed

Reviewed By Disappointed60616484

The room was not cleaned, the bed not made. I found the sheets on the bed as if i was supposed to make the bed myself. The blanket and comforter were just thrown on the chair so that tells me that they were not even clean or changed from the previous stay. The trash was not thrown and no towels in bathroom. It is disgusting having to walk through a hall filled with the stink of smoke.

Worst Hotel We Ever Stayed At

Reviewed By 683connied

I chose this hotel for the nice looking room, microwave/refrigerator, jacuzzi by the pool, hot breakfasts and lower cost. You get what you pay for, or even less than that. Right off the bat we see there is no breakfast and no water in the jacuzzi. The evening employee was not apologetic and seemed upset that he had pay us any attention. The two ice machines do not work, the laundry machines do not work. The first room we received the bathtub had pee stains all over it, there were no towels and the the towel rack was hanging from the wall. The TV control only turned power on/off and that was it. The room stank to high heavens. Most of the furniture in the two rooms we were in had wood chipped and scratched. The second room we asked for was cleaner, except that there was two huge cockroaches literally 1 1/2 inches long, I screamed while I killed one and the other one was found dead. The lighting in bathroom area had a short in it and the lighting at the vanity was awful. Never ever again will we stay at an Econo Lodge. The lower cost is not work being disgusted.
