The dirtiest hotel room I have seen in my 41 years. We checked out within 30 minutes of checking in. The carpet was visibly filthy. Not just stains, but areas where the nastiness had built up and made a near waxy looking substance. There was not a surface in the room that appeared to have been wiped down recently. There... More

They were remodeling supposedly..what they were remodeling was definitely not the rooms. The carpet had holes, the bathroom was not clean. There was cracks in the sink and the door had a hard time closing because it kept getting caught on the carpet. 6 small towels for two people, they were hand towels not regular towels. There was no sign... More

We stayed here for two nights for a quick day at Carlsbad Caverns. The hotel was basic, clean and cheap. If this were a $150 a night hotel we would have given it a “Terrible”, but for $61 a night including tax, it was OK. There is a refrigerator and microwave but no breakfast. The only complaint I would have... More

Currently under renovation, but everything you need is here or in the area. The internet is great and I got 4 great nights of sleep. AARP discounts available.

What a dump. First you are on the southern tip of this town, so you are driving everywhere. Second, the area...well lets just say the trailer park behind and beside really set the tone. The rooms are tiny and exceedingly run down. Sheets are stained, towels are see through, and you don't get breakfast. Avoid.

Hotels in and near Carlsbad were fully booked due to construction workers on pipeline and updating the electric system in Carsbad, NM. With few choices, we picked Motel 6 for one night. It was inexpensive and good for seeing Carlsbad Caverns. We only spent the night in the motel but is was quiet and the bed was comfortable.

Nothing to write home about, but the price was right. Clean enough, no bedbugs, quiet considering that it's on the main drag. Just a place to sleep between visits to the caverns.

Don't kid yourself - the rooms are not tiny, just not large - about average Motel 6 size, which is plenty big. The room was clean, quiet, and inexpensive - $48 for two people. Management was very nice. We have stayed in expensive motels in Carlsbad and they, frankly, are not value for the money - we will be returning... More

I wouldn't recommend this hotel unless you're travelling alone. The room is maybe 12 x 10 and that includes the bathroom and all the furiture of a typical hotel room. we were 2 people staying there and were constantly tripping over eachother and bumping into eachother... you totally get what you pay for in this case. The beds are so... More
