Pros:

The rooms were nice & clean, all of the staff were super friendly & helpful & the beds very comfortable.

Cons:

I don't understand why motels only supply the rooms with 2 facehcloths for a room with 2 beds. 2 beds mean 4 ppl could sleep in the room!!! Please provide more facecloths.

Would not stay here again given there are plenty of other options.
Pros:

Convenient to Carlsbad Caverns, but so are many other hotels nearby.

Cons:

The AC in the room did not respond to the thermostat setting. The blower worked but there was no cooling below what appeared to be a default or limit temperature. When I picked up the phone to ring the front desk about it, I saw there was no phone line to the wall. The morning breakfast was American, not continental, but quality/taste was below average. The fitness room was barely adequate.
