Fiddler's Inn

Fiddler's Inn

8/10 Good
"Carlsbad, NM is surprisingly lovely with a beautiful riverfront park, complete with a 4 mile walking loop under giant shade trees and a swimming area. The Fiddler’s Inn is just blocks from the river on a quiet street near a grocery store. Our private “apartment” was spacious and comfortable, with morning breakfast available for pick up next door at the Blue House Bakery. This place was perfect for couples or a young family. Great digs for a reasonable price!"
