About Whites City Cavern Inn
Whites City Cavern Inn is a clean, well-maintained motel located at the entrance to Carlsbad Caverns National Park, providing the best and closest access for visitors. It is also very close to Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The property is older but very cared for, with well-kept grounds. Rooms are consistently described as large, clean, spacious, and smelling fresh, with comfortable beds. The staff receives high praise for going above and beyond, providing great service and treating guests like family. Many guests would happily return or stay again.
The location is ideal for visiting the caverns and viewing the bat flight in the evening. The motel offers a free continental breakfast with items like coffee, juice, muffins, cereal, and donuts. There is a store and gift shop across the street. Guests note a lack of dining options in Whites City, as the nearby restaurant closes at 3:00 PM, with the next options being in Carlsbad. The hotel is considered safe, and the grounds are walkable. Some rooms are dog-friendly for a pet fee. Minor drawbacks noted by some include older decor, a need for more outlets, and the seasonal closure of the pool and water park. Overall, it is an affordable, convenient, and worthwhile place to stay.
