It was fine for what we needed, cool idea, staff was very night and accommodating. It was close enough to Carlsbad, bed was clean, towels didn’t seem clean. Breakfast was grab and go. Overall would stay here again if passing through.

The staff is very friendly and it’s a great location for both parks. It’s just a clean place to sleep. There is nothing fancy about this place, but it was perfect for what we needed.

Very unique, as this motel is modular buildings. It is very clean, the owners are wonderful people. The breakfast in the morning was fresh breakfast burritos, fruit, coffe and pastries!

For budget conscious traveler, Karbani Inn is a hidden gem. Its very low key. But he rooms are immaculately clean and small (but the daily rate is also very small). The WIFI worked great (it worked better than most major hotels). I'm just traveling through. I can forgo the hot tubs, happy hour BBQs, spas, 24-hour room service and other amenities that I don't use. I gladly trade them for a lower room rate.

Travelers beware ! This is not a top rated motel or hotel. It is a series of mobile homes set up to be used as work crew quarters. While the staff was friendly, and the tiny room was clean, it lacked amenities you expect from “top rated“ motels. (No blow dryer, no coffee machine, etc.) Complementary breakfast was advertised on the billboard, but upon trying to get that, they said “We didn’t know anyone was coming for breakfast!”

I drove past it looking for a "motel" building--from the road it looks like storage units. But inside the compact rooms it is clean. Lovely step-in shower. Good for sleeping on a budget and convenient to Carlsbad Caverns. Also would do nicely for a single worker on an extended job.
Bright lights all around the parking lot made me feel safe and secure walking anywhere around the elevated walkway/deck. An ingenious concept to group these steel containers and link them with a wide deck. Access via center steps or ramps on either side. I was advised not to drive up to the center due to nails and hazards in the gravel, so parking was around the side, close but not visible from the room I was in.
Rooms are too small for a coffee machine, so everything requires a walk to the office. Nice owners. Be prepared to order your "breakfast burrito" when you check in, then get there early to make sure you get yours. (some greedy guest took two before I got there so they were one short.).

This is NOT a hotel! These are trailers in a dirt lot. More suited to temp housing for men coming in to work. Not couples on vacation. Did not stay, even though we had already paid in full.

Super nice owners and great breakfast. These are tiny, well furnished rooms perfect for just sleeping overnight. To get to city center you do have to drive a mile or so.

The rooms are super clean. Closest place to stay to travel to the Calsbad Caverns. Staff was friendly and I would highly recommend.

I enjoyed staying here very much. Owner was very friendly, helpful, and a pleasure to talk with. Rooms were c-trains converted into the most lovely "tiny house". Ideal for 1 or 2 persons. The bed was comfortable, the shower was wonderful, plenty of space for all my stuff. Complementary breakfast included a homemade delicious breakfast burrito, yogurt, fresh fruit and other good things. I highly recommend Karbani Inn.

This "motel" is really a well-maintained Man Camp of the type used by oil industry workers. The listing did not hint at the very basic conditions at this property. That said, the staff were exceedingly nice and I did have a good night's rest. They just need to properly label the actual situation on their web page!

The property is right across the highway.

Very clean room and friendly management. Much newer than most hotels. Odd "neighborhood" - next to an equipment storage/rental facility on the edge of town. The property is entirely gravel, n lawn. The building is a collection of manufactured homes linked together. Nice room. The one challenge was that the bed was up against the wall which limited entry options-to get in or out you have to crawl over your bedmate on the open side of the bed, which was odd and inconvenient. Overall a good value and crisp clean room

Perfect size room for a functional and VERY CLEAN hotel. Stayed here with my partner after visiting Carlsbad Caverns. This place was FABULOUS. Cannot stress enough how clean and cute the little room was.
Plus, the breakfast burritos they provided the following morning were great for our long drive home to AR! Owners are so sweet and very accommodating. Affordable and Enjoyable overnight stay :)

WiFi network was very weak in the room which I stayed, but any other things was great. Container like hotel was really great experience for me and I felt the room was cleaner than traditional old hotel.
2.0 / 10.0
Room was advertised as I queen bed. None of the rooms have a queen. The size of the room for two people is also unacceptable for those not romantically involved.

My husband and I loved this spot! If you just need a simple place to stay while visiting the caverns, Karbani Inn is great! Not for anyone seeking anything fancy, but we loved it for that reason. Less expensive or comparable pricing to other inns and motels, and cleaner and more comfortable than others we’ve stayed in. We were pleasantly surprised by this little inn. Bonnie (the owner) is very kind and hospitable! Highly recommend.

One of the cleanest hotels ive been in.

The room is small and very compact, yet organized and clean. It looks like new! However, not a lot of room to move around in the tight space and when I compare its' tiny size to an average hotel room it is less than half that size. It's also much noisier because of the metal walls and u shaped setup. There were also a couple barking dogs across the road that I could hear. Not sure if it was a kennel or clinic? When I first walked in it reminded me of being in a tiny dorm room at college. Not much space to move around in, but a shelter and place to sleep. Overall, when comparing the small unit to an average hotel room, the unit price should be half the cost of an average hotel room due to its' small and limited size. Great for young solo travelers, who are on a limited budget.

Well staying near the Caverns is expensive. That said, I paid more gor this tiny room than other motels on my trip. But since is is near the Caverns, you pay twice whatbyou would otherwise. Room was clean. Bed was good. Could have used an outlet at the bed, but there was one on the wall across from the bed. Easy to miss turn into place. Just a gravel road and trailers set up in a square. Breakfast burito was good! Home made.

The room was very small. It was maybe 15 x 15. Not worth the money. I guess ok for a single with not much luggage. Could not keep the suitcase open. Full bed up against wall. Very hard for second person to get in and out. Great shower. Had microwave and fridge.

Stayed for a quick stop overnight during a camping/road trip. Small, but clean and comfortable - perfect for a solo traveller. Very close to Carlsbad Caverns. Convenient location right on the highway.

The basics are there but it is a bit like “roughing it”. Small room, small bed, minimal breakfast.
10.0 / 10.0
Very cool concept. The rooms were small but didnt distract from having everything you need in a living space. Very clean. Well stocked. Extra storage. The ladies I encountered were extremely kind and helpful. Area around the rooms is very industrial and I wasnt expecting that. Still a cool and different place to stay. Would recommend.

Bare Bones modular accommodations. Very small but clean and comfortable. The coffee was good in the morning but basically no breakfast other than some snack food. No ice available. A good place to spend one night prior to visiting Carlsbad Caverns.

This motel was small, but very clean. The man and woman who ran this motel were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the morning was very good. We would stay again if we were in the area.

The owners were very nice and chatted with me about my stay as they checked me in. The room was very clean and I was never disturbed by anyone. The shower had amazing water pressure and the AC was very effective. The area was just outside of town but still close enough that everything was convenient to get to easily. The wifi had a stronger signal in my car than in my room, but wifi was not a priority for me to have on this trip. I was very pleased with my stay and I would absolutely book again!

Perfect for a solo trip to the caverns, it was quiet clean and I felt overall safe being there. Looks CAN be deceiving! Give it a chance
