White's City Cavern Inn

After hiking all day in Guadalupe NP, we needed a shower and warm bed rather than another night in the tent. Easily made a reservation on their website and arrived to a clean, spacious room. Nice shower and location.

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/switchi

I thought this was the perfect place to stay to visit the grand canyon if you just want to see it in one day and then be able tie enjoy the old route 66 town and some other western scenery. The weather is so much cooler there than I expected, since the elevation is so high, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful. We also visited cataract lake scenic park for a picnic and saw a prairie dog town on the way. The local grocery store has everything you could need and we tried the mountain coaster too. The guy at the front desk was friendly and helpful when it came to suggestions about what to do around there. The breakfast was nice and the room had everything we needed. I would love to stay again someday.

We enjoyed our two nights at White's City Cavern Inn. The pool is fabulous, the location is perfect, the value excellent. Where else can you stay that's 200 yards from the entrance to a great National Park, with a large comfortable and well appointed basic room and a great swimming pool, for less than $100/night?? Clean and quiet, highly recommend. Breakfast was token, so don't count on much in that department; but still we highly recommend.

We tent camped and had the whole tent site area to ourselves. Great location literally right outside the Carlsbad caverns entrance road. Also drove to the Sitting Bull Falls for a quick half day hike. Staff was friendly and helpful, facilities were clean (flush toilets and showers), and it was so quiet and peaceful.
