From the photos you can pretty much tell what this hotel is going to be like. It is old, very old and many things need updating or fixing. However, nothing we encountered was broken or faulty, just old and not cosmetically in the best shape. The rooms are very large and ours was very clean. The parking lot is large... More

This hotel is a good choice for exploring the parks. Seven miles out to the caverns and not far to Guadalupe. Besides being super convenient, the hotel is clean with a friendly staff. Our room on the second floor was very large with a cathedral ceiling that made it seem even larger. The king size bed was comfortable and passed... More

I was very disappointed in this place. Our room was infested with gnats. There was no closet. The "continental breakfast" was practically non existent. It was definitely close to the Caverns, but that's about all I can say about it. They seem to cater to a group of oil workers from the area. More

The staff here was very accommodating and friendly! We were only here for a few nights while exploring the Carlsbad caverns, but it was a nice place and very suitable for our quick stay. It's not a fancy shmancy hotel, but it was very reasonably priced and clean! Can't really ask for more! I wasn't expecting much, but I was... More

We had checked into the Motel 6 in Carlsbad and quickly checked out because the room was filthy! We traveled down the road to the unique White's City and checked into the Rodeway Inn with our 3 beagles. The front desk staff was super friendly and helpful; check in was a breeze! We had a first floor room with two... More

We were there for 5 nights. Rooms were very clean. They were renovating, so some items needed replacing, but everything worked fine. Staff was fantastic. Every need attended to promptly. The pool area is far above average, basically a water park. Great for children. More

A little cheaper than Carlsbad motels and convenient to the Caverns. The reception staff was very friendly, the room was large and very clean, though the bathroom was a little shabby. No fridge, no hair dryer and a very basic breakfast (beverage and small muffin). Ice machine not working, but reception topped up our bucket from their machine. Quiet location,... More

We stayed here one night to visit the Cavern, because we did not want to drive back and forth from Carlsbad. It worked out well for that purpose We had a room with one king size bed on the second floor. The room was very large, could have fit another king size bed in it with room to spare, so... More

I spent one night at this joint on March 24, 2012. My original reservation was for four nights. That alone pretty much tells the story. My experience, in no particular order of importance, was as follows: 1) when I arrived the staff person on duty was polite, sympathetic and completely unhelpful; 2) the AC in my room was not up...

We stayed here not online as a stop over for our cross country trip but also to go visit the Carlsbad Park. It was such a great time and who would have thought we'd have so much to do in such a little town! The people of Whites City were great and so friendly! We ended up making a lot... More
