Top Riverwalk Recreation Center Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Best place I have stayed in a very long time! I highly recommend it to everyone!!"

Carlsbad Inn New Mexico

8/10 Good

"Lots of road noise, but that can't be helped given its location. That is the only reason I gave them a 4. Good value overall."

Comfort Suites Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very clean. The lobby was decorated for fall and they have lots of snacks and drinks available for travelers, even freshly popped popcorn! Staff was very helpful to make recommendations of local attractions. The pool area is exceptionally unique and private."

Delightful 2-bedroom house with AC in sunny Carlsbad and river view.

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean, host was extremely helpful. The only recommendation would be to have a list with information about Wi-Fi passwords, and contact details. Since this place is pet friendly, I'd recommend securing the fence (bottom) to prevent pets from leaving the property."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was really good! From the staff, room, mattress, pool & breakfast. Breakfast had bacon, sausage & eggs, you don't get that often. The room was clean and spacious. The mattress was a wonderful pillow top & pillows were comfy. Hotel is modern & well kept up. The pool was so nice after a hot day at the caverns, and sparkling clean. Only negative was not the hotel's fault. If you're there on a Sunday & Monday, know that many restaurants are closed. I struggled to find anything other than McDonald's open. Also, beware of parking next to the guests with big work trucks (there's many of them). My car got scratched. Overall, 10 out of 10. Thank you La Quinta!"

Fiddler's Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The suite was amazing. So many amenities, so well done. Enjoyed every minute of it."

Permian on the Pecos

10/10 Excellent

"Cute overall"

The Bird- Lovely 2 Bed Home in the Garden, Great Location

10/10 Excellent

"Exactly what we needed for a two-night getaway. A cool, comfy retreat on a scorcher of a summer day, comfortable beds, great shower. Couldn't ask for any more!"

The Jalapeño- Historic Adobe Home in Walkable Area

8/10 Good

"House was very nice but had a couple issues. Found hair in one bed and mouse poop in one bedroom. Aunt was gonna use coffee pot but was dirty. The rest of the appliances were clean. Asked what to do for checkout but owner never messaged me back. A deep cleaning is needed."
