Top Carlsbad Hotel Reviews

White's City Cavern Inn

6/10 Okay

"The pool apparently is open only in the summer. Call ahead to check if that is important to you. There is no place to eat dinner close by. Need to drive to Carlsbad."

Stevens Inn

8/10 Good

"Our room was very spacious with a huge bathroom. Somehow I believe we ended up in a handicapped room. Everything was in great condition and was very clean and orderly. Air conditioning was adequate, & staff were friendly and helpful. However, we did not care for the free breakfast or the coffee provided in the room. We also had issues with our television reception. After turning it on, and choosing a program from the guide, the tv would buffer for about 30 minutes before actually showing the program. Perhaps the problem was internet or cable related."

Home2 suites by Hilton, Carlsbad, New Mexico

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff and amenities, conveniently located for visiting Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Really appreciated the bright, clean, spacious room with kitchenette, free breakfast (though would have liked more fruit and protein options), and 24/7 freshly brewed coffee. Although we didn't use them, we also really liked the self-laundry facilities, fitness center, and outdoor patio with lawn games. Would definitely book this place again if we ever make it back!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Check in .Miranda is a gem.i had several requests and she took care of everything with professionalism and kindness. I asked to change my room,and no fuss no muss.the room was as perfect as I have ever seen. The breakfast was warming everything delicious. Rob, who takes care of keeping everything clean and refilled is a one of a kind employee. This young man was constantly cleaning refilling always keeping everything just right. I highly recommend this la Quinta for everything la Quinta should be"
