Monica
Be mindful of the directions when using maps. It routed us an hour out of the way thru a dark, isolated canyon with no wifi. Once we backtracked out of the canyon, the owner sent me her location and we found it. She is concerned and will get with tech to fix that. She checked us in with our late night arrival. The key card worked but didn’t open the door. Someone else came to assist us. Still couldn’t get the door to open with the card. We only stayed one night and the room was perfect for a short overnight stay. It was VERY cold, actually too cold so make an adjustment. Hot water and shower pressure was great. TV turned on but remote didn’t work. Bed was ok but comfortable enough. Towels were nice. The owner made us a small snack for breakfast but we wanted to try the burritos we had read about in the reviews. The price and accommodation was a great value. We were 30 minutes from Carlsbad caverns so it was an easy drive in the morning. That was convenient and why we chose this Inn for a short night .
Craig
A very unique motel designed to best accommodate single travelers. It is a SMALL room with a double bed tucked into a corner of the room. If all you want is a bed, TV, and shower at a low cost, especially for single travelers - this will work for you. Not good for couples as you have to climb over your partner to get in/out of bed. The Wi-Fi was basically non-existent. The owner said that the metal structure blocked the routers from working properly. A breakfast offering is advertised, but this basically consists of two types of cereal, a bananna, and a granola bar tucked into the corner of the office trailer. The owner is very pleasant and the property serves well the oil field workers who are the majority of those staying at the property. VERY DISAPPOINTED that this property had an 8.8/10 rating on Expedia. That rating does NOT properly represent the relative value of the property.
Christy
The room was small, but it had everything I needed. It was very clean. The breakfast was outstanding. The owner was so helpful. She answered all of my questions and made suggestions about where to have supper and go grocery shopping. Plus their cats made me feel right at home.
Chana
Very small room so felt claustrophobic- however the shower was the best I’ve ever had. Unfortunately no coffee maker so that was my fault for not checking. No breakfast. It would be a good room for a single person but just way too small for 2 people. The owner was very kind so that helped.
Joyce
Compared to the brand-name hotels further down the road, this inn is basic and might seem questionable as you turn into the dirt lot and see the trailers. HOWEVER, the lovely couple who runs this place is so friendly and helpful.
Our room was small but fit a queen sized bed, a desk, a wardrobe, refrigerator, microwave, and the sink. And, everything - the room, the bathroom, towels and sheets - was super clean!
Breakfast was in the front trailer, where check-in is. There were two types of cereal, coffee, granola bars, cookies, and fruit. In the fridge were milk, apple juice, cranberry juice and yogurt. The owner boiled hot water and brought the kettle out to us.
This is a great option for more affordable accommodations in Carlsbad where the hotels tend to be pricey.

Joan
First the positives: Clean; thank you. A/c & refrigerator worked well.
Other than that, this facility was unbelievable. An inn? $96 for this property? What looked like a storage container with tiny rooms was located in a huge dirt lot. The room was so small that there was no sink in the bathroom! The pictures online gave a totally unrealistic picture. FALSE ADVERTISING: 1) The manager insisted that all the beds in the facility were queen size; they were NOT. Our bed was a full size, much smaller than our queen bed at home. 2) Breakfast stated online to open at 6 a.m; we were told it was available starting at 7:30 a.m. This problem was also stated in an online review. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR ERRONEOUS ONLINE INFORMATION.

Maurice
This was an unexpected, unique property, which is something we love about road-tripping. Although smaller than most hotel rooms, it provided everything we needed, was clean and comfortable. The best part was the owner’s (Bonnie) hospitality. We enjoyed our conversation with her at breakfast, where she blessed us with homemade burritos (as well as other breakfast items/snacks for the road).
Carolyn
It's a no frills, clean and comfortable room about 30 minutes to Carlsbad Caverns. The owner was super sweet and her breakfast burritos delicious.
Eugene
Close to Carlsbad taverns 28 min, very unique style property, like a bunker or trailer setup, just wanted something functional, near the National Park and clean. Breakfast starts at 730am not 6am...it hasnt been changed....keep that in mind!
Mila
Business facility is adequate. Staff (Banni) was amazing and very accommodating. Lots of parking space. Clean room (small but you have everything you need)Breakfast burritos, coffee, fruits, cereal, juice, etc definitely adds to the beauty of staying here. Will not hesitate to recommend this place. We had a great stay! Thank you.
Van Anh
The owner is very friendly and helpful.
JUN
close to Carlsbad cavern national park; the breakfast is better than a hotel with additional exceptional home made burritos.
Traviston
It was a nice clean room that was quite and we'll maintained. The staff was hard to understand and there were cats everywhere outside the room, but overall it was a nice place to stay especially considering the price.
Joshua
Wow what a fantastic place to stay. Where do I even begin. The location, perfect. Just a quick drive to the Carlsbad Caverns (though they were closed when we went). The place was small but clean and honestly, if your just staying a day or two while you explore, you really don't need that much room plus bathroom was plenty spacious and bed was very comfy. The lady and and young man who greeted us at check in was sweet and had breakfast burritos for us the next morning. What hospitality! We will be staying again next year when we are able to check out the caverns. Our hot water did run out quickly but we still managed to shower just fine.
Bailey
very nice and clean room, great check in process, and the owner cooked us breakfast! 10/10 would recommend and will be back if we are in town.
Melissa
We didn't have breakfast. Rooms could have had coffee like other hotels. Quiet environment. Friendly staff.
Elizabeth
Staff was very responsive and helpful. Hotel is small, but clean and well run.
Jorge
No, Friend also reminded me of my kids college dorm rooms very clean
William
Staff was nice enough. Property is very basic. “Breakfast included” is pushing the envelope. Their website speaks of amenities that are “going to be added” but obviously that has not happened yet. The property is quiet though and sufficient for one person overnight.
Douglas
It's more than it might first appear.
Not what we expected but turned out to be a fun adventure. If you are one or two people looking for a compact clean basic place for a reasonable price and friendly staff, don't be put off by first appearances. There are no frills and the complementary breakfast burritos were really good and just the right size. Only glitch was I forgot to let them know we would not be eating breakfast the second morning. Felt bad when we had to leave.
James
Not as advertised
I thought this might be an interesting place to stay and it was. However, it wasn't as nice as I had hoped. I knew the room would be small and space would be tight, but wow....one or 2 bodies in the room fills it up. If all you are doing is coming in, using the bathroom and going to bed, it's fine. Not good for those who are claustrophobic. The sheets and pillow cases were well worn although they did appear clean. There were a few tiny bugs on the bed that we could not identify...they were definitely NOT bed bugs but it still made us a little uneasy. I had read about great breakfast burritoes so I was greatly disappointed by only having a cup of coffee and the option of 2 cold breakfast cereals and some granola bars and bags of chips. Wow. Not sure who wrote the reviews I had read.
C
I liked it was close to the area we needed. Went to The Brewing Company to eat. AmaZING food and great entertainment.
The room itself, was not a queen bed, but a full size bed.
The room was very clean.
The staff were very kind and helpful.
They do have a continental breakfast, they also make a nice breakfast burrito.
Thank you.

When I first arrived I thought no way! In an industrial terrain? Pods set up for emergency lodging? Then I opened our room and found a gem.
Pristine clean, comfortable bed and with delightful touches that showed care like origami flowers on toilet paper and facial tissue. Thick and lush bath towels. I had not experienced this when first viewing the motel. Service was very friendly and efficient plus a tasty breakfast. We picked the motel due to its close proximity to Carlsbad Caverns.

Susan
It was good for 2 people looking for a place to spend a night on the road. Room was small. You wouldn't want to have more than two people in the room.
Melissa
Slightly deceptive
There's a reason they didn't show the outside of the property. I would not have reserved this place. I guess I should have read the reviews to see it was a construction trailer. Yes, it was clean. Yes, the owners were nice. But it was VERY small for 2 people and we could hear the guests in the next room on the phone well into the night. I feel it was over priced for the location (gravel lot) and the actual room.
Paul
Inn? No. Portacabins!
There's no getting away from the reality these are just portacabins arranged in a loop. The rooms are clean and cool but there are no facilities whatsoever. \"Breakfast\" is a bought in burrito that you eat in the office between a computer and a printer!
Most of the people staying are oilfields workers on long-term rental. I'm sure they don't pay $90 a night! Poor value for money.

Laura
This was an interesting place to stay. The buildings are modular, but I referred to them as shipping containers, because that's what they looked like. The room was absolutely tiny. If my husband and I wanted to be standing at the same time, we had to plan things out. Also, due to some sort of problems, we didn't get the advertised burritos the first two mornings, just cereal. We finally got one the third day, and we were offered a discount for the lack of breakfast, which was nice.
Anthony
I got to see the Cavern.
very nice clean new walk-in shower. i want one. i did leave early because of Dust-storm in the desert.
Leslie
Rooms were in Construction type units. The manager in the office, also in a trailer was very nice. I informed her this was not what I expected and I would not be staying the evening. She indicated she would inform Expedia and I would not be charged for the stay.
Nicholas
The check in at this property was quick and easy. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The room was very clean and comfortable. The surprise upon checking out was that the owner saved the hot breakfast burritos for us, realizing we didn't make it for the continental breakfast accompanied by the fresh, hot and delicious egg burritos. Very thoughtful and a personalized feel to the stay!!
Pavithra
It was okay
jacek
Good place to stay overnight.
Manasa
The rooms were clean, and the owner was very responsive. It's a great place to stay if you're visiting Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns, just 30-45 minutes away.
Khawaja
Great clean place to stay near the Mountain, very accessible and plenty of parking spaces. Great people to deal with, quick in/out with complementary breakfast.
Shauna
Service was exceptional
Shayping
We had a small room, one bed and no chair. But it has electrical outlets for our electric car which is important for us.
Barry
It was an unexpected type of motel but it met our needs completely!! The location is good for local workmen as well as travelers passing through Carlsbad.
Elijah
Stay here alot And it's always pleasant, never have any issues and staff is very welcoming. Would recommend to anyone staying here for work, etc.
Elizabeth
Hotel is clean, and affordable, but rooms are very small. Good choice for a single person on a work trip. Free breakfast includes burritos, but they are 'meh'. Owner is friendly and responsive.
Danny
This is a very economical choice but great for the price. The staff was awesome, friendly, and accommodating. The room is very small but clean and comfortable. If you're just needing a place to sleep for a night or two this place is awesome.
Jennifer
The owners are amazing, very friendly. They knew my flight was leaving before breakfast hours, and they got up early and made me a good hot breakfast to go. The Karbani Inn was a nice change from staying in chain hotels. I love to support small businesses.
Daniel
All you need
Clean, comfortable place to sleep on the way to Carlsbad Caverns. Host was very informative and friendly. Very tasty breakfast.
Kim
Property was different, but worked well. Comfortable bed and clean rooms, breakfast was great
Wayne
The is a man camp. Not a hotel. Tiny rooms. Loud AC. Industrial area. And for what it is very expensive.
john
AC worked well, free parking, room was good.
Cheak
Very clean, A/C, fridge, microwave, hot water and shower pressure works awesome, kind and friendly owners. Highly recommended for a simple and cozy stay.
Kim
It was fine for what we needed, cool idea, staff was very night and accommodating. It was close enough to Carlsbad, bed was clean, towels didn’t seem clean. Breakfast was grab and go. Overall would stay here again if passing through.
Leah
The staff is very friendly and it’s a great location for both parks. It’s just a clean place to sleep. There is nothing fancy about this place, but it was perfect for what we needed.
Jessica
Incredibly clean and very nice owners/managers
James
Very clean, friendly and inexpensive. Just what I wanted.
Stanislav
no a hotel, it is a motel at best. tiny space, noisy AC 2 inch from small bed, folding plastic table and one chair...
in the middle of industrial area, neighbor to heavy machinery rental.. etc.

Very unique, as this motel is modular buildings. It is very clean, the owners are wonderful people. The breakfast in the morning was fresh breakfast burritos, fruit, coffe and pastries!
feren
For budget conscious traveler, Karbani Inn is a hidden gem. Its very low key. But he rooms are immaculately clean and small (but the daily rate is also very small). The WIFI worked great (it worked better than most major hotels). I'm just traveling through. I can forgo the hot tubs, happy hour BBQs, spas, 24-hour room service and other amenities that I don't use. I gladly trade them for a lower room rate.
Mary
The toilet clicked all night.
Bruce
Travelers beware ! This is not a top rated motel or hotel. It is a series of mobile homes set up to be used as work crew quarters. While the staff was friendly, and the tiny room was clean, it lacked amenities you expect from “top rated“ motels. (No blow dryer, no coffee machine, etc.) Complementary breakfast was advertised on the billboard, but upon trying to get that, they said “We didn’t know anyone was coming for breakfast!”
Gwen
I drove past it looking for a \"motel\" building--from the road it looks like storage units. But inside the compact rooms it is clean. Lovely step-in shower. Good for sleeping on a budget and convenient to Carlsbad Caverns. Also would do nicely for a single worker on an extended job.
Bright lights all around the parking lot made me feel safe and secure walking anywhere around the elevated walkway/deck. An ingenious concept to group these steel containers and link them with a wide deck. Access via center steps or ramps on either side. I was advised not to drive up to the center due to nails and hazards in the gravel, so parking was around the side, close but not visible from the room I was in.
Rooms are too small for a coffee machine, so everything requires a walk to the office. Nice owners. Be prepared to order your \"breakfast burrito\" when you check in, then get there early to make sure you get yours. (some greedy guest took two before I got there so they were one short.).

Debra
This is NOT a hotel! These are trailers in a dirt lot. More suited to temp housing for men coming in to work. Not couples on vacation. Did not stay, even though we had already paid in full.
Matthew
Awesome, simple rooms with nice owners
Super nice owners and great breakfast. These are tiny, well furnished rooms perfect for just sleeping overnight. To get to city center you do have to drive a mile or so.
Maureen
The rooms are super clean. Closest place to stay to travel to the Calsbad Caverns. Staff was friendly and I would highly recommend.
verna
I enjoyed staying here very much. Owner was very friendly, helpful, and a pleasure to talk with. Rooms were c-trains converted into the most lovely \"tiny house\". Ideal for 1 or 2 persons. The bed was comfortable, the shower was wonderful, plenty of space for all my stuff. Complementary breakfast included a homemade delicious breakfast burrito, yogurt, fresh fruit and other good things. I highly recommend Karbani Inn.
Peter
This \"motel\" is really a well-maintained Man Camp of the type used by oil industry workers. The listing did not hint at the very basic conditions at this property. That said, the staff were exceedingly nice and I did have a good night's rest. They just need to properly label the actual situation on their web page!
Warren
The property is right across the highway.
scott
Very clean room and friendly management. Much newer than most hotels. Odd \"neighborhood\" - next to an equipment storage/rental facility on the edge of town. The property is entirely gravel, n lawn. The building is a collection of manufactured homes linked together. Nice room. The one challenge was that the bed was up against the wall which limited entry options-to get in or out you have to crawl over your bedmate on the open side of the bed, which was odd and inconvenient. Overall a good value and crisp clean room
Anna
Perfect size room for a functional and VERY CLEAN hotel. Stayed here with my partner after visiting Carlsbad Caverns. This place was FABULOUS. Cannot stress enough how clean and cute the little room was.
Plus, the breakfast burritos they provided the following morning were great for our long drive home to AR! Owners are so sweet and very accommodating. Affordable and Enjoyable overnight stay :)

Kunihiko
WiFi network was very weak in the room which I stayed, but any other things was great. Container like hotel was really great experience for me and I felt the room was cleaner than traditional old hotel.
Verified traveler
My husband and I loved this spot! If you just need a simple place to stay while visiting the caverns, Karbani Inn is great! Not for anyone seeking anything fancy, but we loved it for that reason. Less expensive or comparable pricing to other inns and motels, and cleaner and more comfortable than others we’ve stayed in. We were pleasantly surprised by this little inn. Bonnie (the owner) is very kind and hospitable! Highly recommend.
Andrew
Room was advertised as I queen bed. None of the rooms have a queen. The size of the room for two people is also unacceptable for those not romantically involved.
Olivia
One of the cleanest hotels ive been in.
Jeff
Unique Small Mobile Metal Hotel Room
The room is small and very compact, yet organized and clean. It looks like new! However, not a lot of room to move around in the tight space and when I compare its' tiny size to an average hotel room it is less than half that size. It's also much noisier because of the metal walls and u shaped setup. There were also a couple barking dogs across the road that I could hear. Not sure if it was a kennel or clinic? When I first walked in it reminded me of being in a tiny dorm room at college. Not much space to move around in, but a shelter and place to sleep. Overall, when comparing the small unit to an average hotel room, the unit price should be half the cost of an average hotel room due to its' small and limited size. Great for young solo travelers, who are on a limited budget.
Elvis
Good costumer service.
Steven
Staff person was very friendly and helpful.
Tsurugi
quiet good place to sleep before going to the Cavern.
Sylvia
Small, but it was Adequate in Every Respect
The relationship of price to quality was spot. This was a clean, efficent, no frills place to spend the night.
Anne
Small but clean!
Well staying near the Caverns is expensive. That said, I paid more gor this tiny room than other motels on my trip. But since is is near the Caverns, you pay twice whatbyou would otherwise. Room was clean. Bed was good. Could have used an outlet at the bed, but there was one on the wall across from the bed. Easy to miss turn into place. Just a gravel road and trailers set up in a square. Breakfast burito was good! Home made.
Sally
One night at hotel in Carlsbad, NM
The room was very small. It was maybe 15 x 15. Not worth the money. I guess ok for a single with not much luggage. Could not keep the suitcase open. Full bed up against wall. Very hard for second person to get in and out. Great shower. Had microwave and fridge.
Elizabeth
Stayed for a quick stop overnight during a camping/road trip. Small, but clean and comfortable - perfect for a solo traveller. Very close to Carlsbad Caverns. Convenient location right on the highway.
Kirk
Very Basic
The basics are there but it is a bit like “roughing it”. Small room, small bed, minimal breakfast.
Chelsey
Very cool concept. The rooms were small but didnt distract from having everything you need in a living space. Very clean. Well stocked. Extra storage. The ladies I encountered were extremely kind and helpful. Area around the rooms is very industrial and I wasnt expecting that. Still a cool and different place to stay. Would recommend.
Keith
Bare Bones modular accommodations. Very small but clean and comfortable. The coffee was good in the morning but basically no breakfast other than some snack food. No ice available. A good place to spend one night prior to visiting Carlsbad Caverns.
Joanne
This motel was small, but very clean. The man and woman who ran this motel were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the morning was very good. We would stay again if we were in the area.
Denise
Everything you need for 2
I love this place the price you cant beat i love that its small perfect for couples the staff here is friendly the breakfast burritos are amazing i have no complaints will stay every time i come through here
Christina
The owners were very nice and chatted with me about my stay as they checked me in. The room was very clean and I was never disturbed by anyone. The shower had amazing water pressure and the AC was very effective. The area was just outside of town but still close enough that everything was convenient to get to easily. The wifi had a stronger signal in my car than in my room, but wifi was not a priority for me to have on this trip. I was very pleased with my stay and I would absolutely book again!

Perfect for a solo trip to the caverns, it was quiet clean and I felt overall safe being there. Looks CAN be deceiving! Give it a chance

Small room for reasonable price.
The room was small, but very clean. Nice shower and good breakfast burrito. Not far from Carlsbad Caverns.

This is a basic Inn that is great for solo travelers passing through town. The rooms are small, but clean. The staff (which I believe is one of the family members of this family owned business) was really nice! She gave me a small but delicious breakfast burrito (homemade!) to take with me when I checked out the following morning.
I recommended this place because it's a small family-owned business and they are doing their best to keep it running and make guests happy. It's great for anybody traveling solo and needs to rest for a night or two. It's not fancy, but it works!

The rooms are very small but had everything I needed. Very simple place for a fair price. Very clean room with TV, refrigerator, microwave. Great for a single and maybe a couple. The lady in the office is terrific and very welcoming with a big smile! Breakfast burritos are excellent! Highly recommend!

For a place that looks like a prison from the outside, this motel was not bad. The room was clean and comfortable, but small, but since I'm a solo traveler, that didn't bother me. The breakfast burritos that they served were really good! I stayed there for three days and had one every day. The biggest downside to this place is that the wifi is TERRIBLE. The signal is very weak, when there is a signal at all. It wouldn't cost them that much to boost their wifi, which would make this a much more enjoyable place to stay. It was a good place overall for the price though.

Perfect for single travelers.
Perfect for solo travelers. Rooms are small(8 feet by 10 feet), but all that I needed. Quiet, highway noise is not a problem.

Friendly staff; convenient locations for nat parks
Friendly staff; reasonable price, tiny but clean and functional room. Breakfast burritos are good. Convenient location for visiting national parks. Rooms are close so I was nervous about noise, but it was quiet at night. I would stay again. If you looking place to hang around all day, this is NOT you place(rooms to small). If you are looking for a nice place to crash at night, this is perfect.
Theodore
Friendly and helpful staff. Clean rooms. Yummy breakfast burritos. A gathering space to sit down to eat would be a nice addition.
David
We knew going in the room would be small, but it turned out to be surprisingly functional. The staff were friendly and helpful
Carlos
Overall easy and fast stay. Reasonable pricing and decent size room. Would definitely stay again.
Duane
Great value for the money and loved the home cooked breakfast burritos. The staff were very helpful.
Jacob
A good and different kind of experience!
It was a very nice and cozy hotel! A giant square area of storage unit-like rooms. It was nice, compact, and every area in the room felt like it was used strategically. The woman that worked both days was extremely nice and made some bomb complimentary breakfast burritos the next morning. My only issue was the bed wasn’t comfortable and the 2 pillows were very small. I expected the bed to be small but it wasn’t the softest. Still good overall!

Melanie
Unussual looking great place
The room is very clean, small, but very efficient. The matress is the best. Super good breakfast is included. Close to the national parks. I didn't regret staying at Karbani Inn
