Lovely old school boutique hotel located right on Main Street in downtown Artesia, NM. Convenient…read moreto both White Sands and Carlsbad Caverns NPs, it was a comfortable spot to rest and relax after hiking. The town of Artesia was so interesting - beautiful public art, mini parks, good restaurants and more. Stay at hotel included continental breakfast and a lovely rooftop space for evening wine.

We stayed 5 nights, 4 in "Whiskey for Breakfast", which is to the left as you face the building,…read morewith the door facing the parking lot of the dentist on that side, plus we extended 1 night in "Sailor's Hornpipe", which is on the right side facing the side yard. Doors to both rooms opened to the outside of the building. Neither room had what I would consider a special character, but I don't really care about that sort of thing. Beds were among the most comfortable that I have experienced in a hotel. The rooms were a good size, with a sofa in the first and a chair in the smaller second room. Both rooms were quiet, though I expect the celler room must be more so. Our main complaint was the lack of space to store our clothes outside of the suitcases - neither a closet nor dresser in either room. The Sailor's Hornpipe room has the bathroom at the top level, and you walk down stairs to reach the bedroom portion. This is okay, except that we moved into this room the evening of the day that I hiked to the summit of Guadalupe Peak, so I was in a considerable amount of pain going up and down the stairs. You might factor this into your choices. The room does have a sunken window which seems to have an escape ladder in case of emergency, which brings some light in if you open the curtains. We found the upstairs heater fan quite noisy so turned it off, and found the electric fireplace downstairs was adequate (I let the owner know, so hopefully the fan will be fixed in future). Parking was angled parking at the street out front (best to approach from the north, or you'll need to make a u-turn). A little worrisome backing out into the road when the view was blocked by another vehicle, but there wasn't much traffic, and I just backed out slowly to give any cars time to react. The housekeeper was friendly and helpful, she even loaned me a broom to sweep snow off my car. A $18 breakfast credit was provided at the Blue House Bakery and Cafe, which was the best breakfast option I have had at a B&B. Good coffee and food, and a friendly cat out front. Overall a positive experience, though perhaps a little pricey for Carlsbad.

The window unit ran the entire time and it never seemed to get warm enough. The wall unit also was noisy. They did provide extra blankets and ear plugs. The bath room floor tiles were cracked and the shower controls were super sensitive. I wish the room had Tea or Cocoa but that's just a suggestion. We would definitely return but would book a room with a fireplace.

The front desk person who checked me in hardly spoke to me just asked for a signature and handed the keys. This hotel is full of white trucks, meaning workers whether it be oil field or other industrial business. That is why they can charge so much for so little. The room was okay but just like lots of other rooms at half the cost.
