Only downside was the heater didn’t work in the room and cable was limited to only 8 channels needed to be serviced
The front desk staff were very friendly and accommodating. TV service didn’t work for the Disney channels and the pull out bed cut my son’s leg due to sharp wires. Juice was available for purchase in the morning so only water and coffee were free.
Excellent place to stay. Close to Carlsbad Caverns and dining options. Hotel was clean, staff was friendly and the room was sclean. I would stay here again.
