Great hotel near Carlsbad Caverns!

Our stay here was great! We only spent one night, but everything we experienced was excellent. The check-in process was very smooth and we appreciated that the hotel sent us reminder texts and let us know that the Caverns were closed (due to the government shutdown) and that we could cancel our reservation if we needed. The room was very clean and spacious and we enjoyed the breakfast that was provided. We would absolutely stay here again!

Government shutdown happened so no Caverns but we did go down to the Guadalupe Mountains to hike. This location is absolutely perfect for a trip to the caverns though. There’s a water park in season so families with children could have a blast. Hotel was clean and had no smell, which is a game changer for me. Typical rooms but have a good refrigerator, a microwave and small coffee pot. BIGGEST drawback…the only restaurant close closes at 3:00 so you have to plan accordingly or drive back in to Carlsbad. There is a small grocery store that has snacks across the street that stays open until 6:00. Will definitely come back to see the Caverns and hike more in the Guadalupe Mountains.

The lady at the front desk was especially friendly and helpful.The hotel is older, but clean and well maintained, and a great price. We did not use the pool and water park because they were closed for the season, but I'm sure the young ones would enjoy the slide and splash pad. The pool was small, but looked sparkling clean. The breakfast provided was not great, but provided the basics - cereal, muffins, coffee, juice, and some fresh fruit. The Carlsbad Caverns were unfortunately closed due to the government shut down. There is not much else to do in White City - not even any restaurants open for dinner. We had to drive to Carlsbad for that. We did find the lovely Sitting Bull Falls about an hour drive away.

Good place to stay for visit to Carlsbad Caverns

Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. Only disappointment had nothing to do with hotel. Our trip was to go to Carlsbad Caverns and they were closed due to the government shutdown.

Room was very basic but clean. Lobby and outside areas of hotel need some work. When we arrived we were regretting our booking but once inside it was ok for one night. Beds were comfortable. Towels were very thin and the ice maker didn’t work. Breakfast was muffins, cereal and juice and coffee.

If you're going to Carlsbad Caverns, this is the only place to stay, literally and figuratively. It was clean and quiet. Breakfast was included, but there was no meat. Check in was fast and access to the room was easy. We were on a road trip and appreciated a fast in and out, no hassle experience at a reasonable price. We like the old school privately owned hotels that are well kept like White's. Back up to the door and haul your junk straight into the room. No dragging coolers through lobbies and elevators and hallways. After all, we didn't fly half way across the country to waste time looking at hotels, did we? Don't miss the evening bat flight. It was a highlight of our trip.
