Top Carlsbad Hotel Reviews

White's City Cavern Inn

White's City Cavern Inn

8/10 Good
"Staff was nice. The pool area has 2 slides that look like they would be a lot of fun but we came a little late in the season. The room was very nice and clean When we got to our room, 1 bed had no bedding on it, I went down to the office and they fixed it immediately and made it right. When things go wrong, sometimes it’s how the management handles it, is what really matters and they did a great job and handling the situation. This is the only hotel that is really extremely close to Carlsbad Tavern. Highly recommend it for that location, but bring snacks and beverages with you cause you’re not really gonna find much around."
