Great services, clean rooms, super 10min from Carlsbad Caves. It's totally worth it the prices. Extra water activity for kids.Easy parking and a lots of spaces. read more

Whites City Cavern Inn - Window A/C - Hotels Near Me - Whites City, New Mexico

Service was quick but was cold and disinterested, lacked the warm hospitality we read in reviews. The room is your basic room and was very spacious. The shower is a basic tub but had good pressure and temp control. Lastly, the bed is rather firm and not made for side sleepers at all. Woke up with back and neck pain. read more

Older motel with huge clean comfy rooms , close to Carlsbad caverns, all the amenities next door & across the road, we ordered out from restaurant & used the laundromat. The pool looked beautiful & perfect if you have kids, best of all, the hotel is pst friendly! Staff was pretty great at check in too read more

I will keep this short and sweet....Perfect spot to stay Only if your visiting the Carlsbad Cavern....simply a place to lay you head...very limited cable channels...weak wifi and big downer was the lack of outlets to plug into...unless you count the one nest to the light switch on the wall...could have just been our room...but I suggest an extention cord and power strip. read more

I stayed at the Inn a few months ago after coming to Carlsbad Caverns from LA specifically to see the bat flight and the Perseid meteor shower. I was pleasantly surprised by the state of the room, which was large, clean, and pleasant. I appreciate that the owners of Whites clearly put care into a property that could easily be allowed to be run down and thrive purely because of proximity to the caves. I was, however, disappointed by how bright the lighting is around the whole complex after dark. Whites has a unique opportunity to take advantage of the dark skies of southern New Mexico, encouraging guests to stargaze. I hope you will consider, if you have not already, either investing in dark sky lighting like you can find at the Caverns visitor center, or at the very least dimming/switching off unnecessary lights such as the fluorescent lights around the store once it closes or the water park at the hotel. It also makes the property very buggy as a result. read more

I decided to establish a scale for rating hotels and motels. I apply the same scale for "luxury" hotels as well as "budget" motels as I stay in all types depending on where I am traveling and the purpose. After cleanliness there is no particular order. 1. Cleanliness. IT WAS REASONABLY CLEAN 2. Comfort of bed. THE MATTRESS WAS GOOD BUT THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH BLANKETS AND THE BED WAS COLD. 3. Comfort of pillows. Are there both firm and soft available. THE PILLOWS WERE HARD 4. How new is the room decor and fixtures. THE DECOR WAS OLD BUT FUNCTIONAL. 5. Quality of room. This includes size, temperature, smell, lighting. THE ROOM WAS LARGE AND COOL. 6. Quality of bathroom. This includes size, lighting, ventilation. 7. Bathroom amenities. These include magnifying mirror, presentation, quantity and quality of toiletries. Softness of tissue and towels. NOTHING EXTRA 8. Friendliness of staff. THE STAFF WERE SUPER FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL. 9. Noise. Road noise, adjacent room noise, air conditioner noise. 10. Price. Was it worth the price I paid all things considered? This includes proximity to conferences and activities. LOCATED CLOSE TO THE ENTRANCE FOR THE CARLSBAD CAVERNS. DOGS ALLOWED. OVERALL A GOOD VALUE. read more

Rooms were dirty. Free breakfast sucks. Website shows waffles. Went in at 730 am and there were 3 muffins. A few cereals. No waffles. A few pieces of fruit. Will not recommend this place read more

Staying here was an easy choice - it's the closest motel to Carlsbad Caverns and it's cheaper than staying in the city of Carlsbad. Yes, it is old and rundown, but it was clean and the lady at the front desk was friendly and helpful when we had one off requests (eg, a knife to cut oranges). They even include a very simple breakfast (cereal, milk and fruit). I feel like this would be a fun place to stay in the summer, when their water playground opens to guests. Sadly we were here in the spring before it opened. read more

It's def older, but the ladies, front desk were very nice and friendly. The lady in the evening who checked us in and the two who helped us with breakfast and check out in the AM. The bed and pillows were comfortable, clean and roomy. Plenty of space. Was quiet, no loud noise. It was empty upon check in and busy when we left so we didn't even hear everyone arrive. The TV was very old and the channels were kind of staticy with multiple Spanish channels haha but for a one nights stay and getting to the caverns it was good, no complaints. Per their information they had Apple or orange juice, cereal, muffins which is all you need and if you have an issue with it then you can go 25 min into town for breakfast. Not a bad deal. I'd stay again if i was driving through. read more

Exactly what you would expect in a small town like Carlsbad. The best part of this motel is that it's right by the caverns so it was convenient. Bed was hard and uncomfortable. read more

We were pleasantly surprised at how nice this hotel was. The beds were comfortable and we slept well. The AC worked great to cool us on a 110-degree July day! We didn't bring bathing suits but the pool(s) looked nice, with a cool pair of waterslides. We didn't expect breakfast, but they provided cereal and muffins, plus coffee and juice. (I would still advise you to bring your own breakfast though.) There is a fridge and microwave in the room. It was very convenient getting from here to the cavern. On the down side, our room door took a lot of jiggling to get open, every time. We always managed to open it, so we just laughed this off. No problem getting out from inside though. Also, there is no ice machine, but they will scoop you out a small container of it if you ask. Otherwise you can buy a bag at the store nearby. Overall we liked this place and would certainly stay here again. read more

Don't judge a book by the cover! This was a really good place to stay, for our Guadalupe Peak and Carlsbad Canyons adventures! The pluses were the very comfortable beds and pillow, spacious, clean, and quiet nice sized room. The ladies at the front desk were very friendly and accommodated my request for a 2nd floor room. They gave us Carlsbad restaurant recommendations, since the Cactus Cafe, the only restaurant in White's City, closes at 3pm and is closed Sunday and Monday. If I had known how good their coffee was, I would have been down there all 3 mornings we stayed! This is a must stay place if you're planning on going to Carlsbad Caverns and/or Guadalupe National Park. The drive into Carlsbad to eat in the evening is only about 20 minutes. Although the place looks old and sort of run down on the outside, it's really a good place. I'd stay here again. read more

I am SOO happy we came across this place while driving into Carlsbad Caverns. Don't look anywhere else in the city, this is the place to stay for the best bang for your buck. First and foremost, they are PET FRIENDLY! No weight limit and just $10 per pet. You won't find any place in town that beats that. Sure, the Motel 6 there doesn't charge for them, but just look at their reviews... it's a rough one. The front desk running the place was extremely friendly and some of the best customer service we have encountered during our week-long road trip across New Mexico (Valerie?). She was able to snag us a great room the night of. She even called us back to give us a heads-up to grab some food first because nothing is near this place besides a little convenience store/gift shop that had already closed. This store is fun as well to check out FYI, cool stuff for the kids to see. Another plus is we were short on time the next day to check out Carlsbad Caverns first thing in the morning before our journey back home to Austin, TX. This place is literally walking distance to the entrance vs. the 20+ minute drive if we were to stay in town. So, we were able to get in and out of the Caverns that morning in time to come back and checkout. It was very quiet and safe in the area. The room was HUGE with two beds. They also have a large (somewhat) grass area for the doggos to do their business which has been hard to find in places. We would 100% stay here again. read more

First time here. Door sticks and is hard to open and they could not care less. asked housekeeping to help us with door. Housekeeping has the personality of a toad. Time to take a shower and tub does not drain standing in sludge. Yuck!! This place sucks and I would not recommend it. read more

We drove 5 hours to get here, our plans are to see Carlsbad Caverns, checked in 8/6/2024, checked into my room, the first thing I did was kill 3 giant moths basically living in the corners of the wall, then I turned the TV on and it is snowy & very blurry, I informed the desk clerk she said that's the way they are, ice machine broken, the website says breakfast but it's only muffins, cereal and juice no hot food, my son was happy about the pool with a slide, but he got stung by a bee on the bottom of his foot, ouch! Not their fault about the bee, but it was kind of a last straw to an already long day, also no clock in the room, and the TV by the way is small besides being snowy! Not my cup of tea, originally booked for 2 days but canceled my 2nd day. I won't be staying here again. I'm surprised by the excellent reviews, but I always say don't trust excellent reviews. read more

this place is dumpy - false advertising. don't do it. pool area is closed most of the time and gross. chairs and everything covered in bird shit. flies all over. staff doesn't care and useless. fine if you're staying a night with no kids. kids will be disappointed. read more

A friend and I stayed here overnight about a year ago on a road trip. As we drove up, we were greeted by a deer, so that was really cool (we're from phoenix, so that's an unusual sight). We had an upstairs room that was comfortable enough and huge. Plenty of space for me to do yoga in the morning. This place is also about as close to Carlsbad np as you can get, which was great. The price was high for what you get, but it's probably just for the location. I'd stay here again. read more

Great stay, close to Caverns. Not much in terms of decor, etc, but clean and the pool (much needed in this climate) is a lot of fun. Staff was nice and an easy although not elaborate breakfast starts the day out right. Definitely recommend if you're looking for inexpensive convenience! read more

This was the most disgusting hotel we spent the night at during our 11 day journey through the Southwest National Parks. We were greeted with dead black beatles (or cockroaches) all over the grounds and in front of our room. The room smell like it had just been fogged with insect killer. We would of left but would of lost our deposit, so we stuck it out. We pick it because it was close to Carlsbad Caverns but should of taken the time on the road to get a place in Carlsbad. Its a dump !!!!!! read more

Liz Black and I are recommending the Cavern Inn in White City, New Mexico as your Guadalupe Ridge Trail base. The rooms are spacious and clean, lots of towels are provided, the hot water doesn't run out. The continental breakfast is OK. The staff couldn't be more friendly, polite, and accommodating. Staff members Valerie, Mario, and Michelle are fabulous. Valerie even shuttled me to a trailhead to pick up my car. Highly recommended! https://www.facebook.com/CarlsbadCavernsHotel read more

This is a nice clean little motel. Beds are comfy even though both headboards slipped down behind our heads and the towel rack came off the wall. Satellite channels were fuzzy and not many available. The water slide was closed but the pool was open but very cold for August. The kiddie area was cool but had dark slimy areas in spots. We almost slipped several times, plus there was a dead bird just laying on the side f the kiddie pool. Other than these little things, we enjoyed our stay here. Beds were very comfy. They also provide morning snacks for free inside the office. read more

For an older hotel I was pleasantly surprised. We received a text from Valerie to let us know what time the restaurant closed a nd for us to grab food beforehand. when we arrived Valerie greeted us, a very friendly lady! we got into our room, it was very clean and big. the beds were comfortable. the caverns were just 7 miles down the road. thanks Valerie an Whites City for a lovely stay. read more

Very pleasant and helpful staff. The beds were comfortable and clean and nicely made up. Room was very clean and prepared early. A higher quality or new towels and linens would be the only improvement I would suggest. Much preferred this location to staying in Carlsbad. Much quieter and quick drive to the caverns. Very much recommended. read more

I was not expecting much considering the location but it's so nice! The room is so much bigger than expected and the people have been so nice and helpful. There's a literal water park right outside! My nephews would absolutely love it! The room is so clean and comfortable. There's AC, TV, a table, microwave, fridge, and a nice shower. I would recommend this place for your stay in White City, especially since it's so close to the Carlsbad Caverns! A two minute drive. There is a cute little Cafe next door, a grocery store and gas station. Everything you need. If I could give them more stars I would! read more

Stayed here during a tour of New Mexico, but unfortunately I didn't get the best nights sleep due to the bed, the TV didn't work and sheets weren't great quality. On the plus side this is a great location to visit Carlsbad Cavern to get an early start. read more

Excellent place! Yes, it is an older hotel (although I love the character) but VERY clean and the staff all around the clock were very helpful! The only disappointment was that the slides weren't opened, so call if that's a highlight for you. The pool area was still wonderful, as well as tge extra splash pad connected to it. I didn't get his name, but the man who checked us out (lives onsite) was very hospitable and was really interested in how we enjoyed our stay. You can tell he oversees things from top to bottom and loves the ppl and what he does. This hotel is older but sets a bar of hospitality that others can glean from. read more

Nice and clean room. Hot shower, nice running refrigerator. Front desk were friendly and helpful with any questions or things we needed. Nice stay just right down from Carlsbad National Park too which is convenient. Would stay here again if ever coming back to Carlsbad. read more

This place was awesome. It's just a few minutes from the National Park, the rooms are clean and spacious, and the pool was awesome for the kids. There is nothing other than the hotel in the area so you have to plan ahead with food, but that's just part of the fun. I loved it and would absolutely stay there again. read more

And older hotel with some good updates. Comfortable beds, clean. Staff goes above and beyond to provide great service.
