Review: On arrival we were greeted and checked in swiftly and professionally. The room, however, was not the one we had booked originally, after a call to front desk, and Tommy the GM, intervention we were allocated another room. Matthew, who has recently started at the hotel, helped us with our luggage, and even arranged and brought a microwave up to our room, he was pleasant and nothing seemed too much trouble.

Holiday Inn Express Carlsbad by IHG

A buffet area with multiple food service stations, including omelets and other prepared dishes.

Location: Carlsbad
Review: The hotel was good and the staff were fine (we didn't really have much to do with them apart from at check-in). We were visiting the Carlsbad Caverns and the hotel was at the wrong end of town for the Caverns, most of the restaurants and food shops - there were some fast food outlets nearby (MacDonalds, Subway etc). Most restaurants seem to close on Sundays so if that's when you're in Carlsbad you may have to make do with a Domino's delivery or a hamburger etc from one of the chains., by Anonymous traveller, 27 May 2011, rated 10/10 Excellent
