Fiddler's Inn

The pictures do not justice for this room!We were on our 3,000 mile motorcycle journey and I wanted to break away from the typical hotel/ motel chains we had along our journey.I was debating to either pick from the Sailor's Hornpipe room (downstairs unit) or Westphalia.And so glad we went with Westphalia.The four post bed is so comfortable with plush pillows and adding blankets provided in a linen basket.There's additional cushioned chairs as well.Flat screen TV and if you open the armoire, good sized mini fridge, toaster, coffee pot, & microwave.The are resident cats that stroll the property and I would always greet them to give them lovins.The hot tub is a few steps away from the door and there are 2 cotton robes to utilize.Plenty of towels and makeup wash cloths in the bathroom. Stand up shower with excellent water pressure.There are welcome cookies provided in the desert case. Make sure to take advantage of your breakfast coupons to Blue House Bakery!Our stay was intended for a 2 night stay. However, I was in a motorcycle accident on our way back to the room on our last night.After being discharged from the hospital, I text Jennifer by 6am the same day of checkout and notified her of our situation.We did have 2 rooms with our booking.I inquired if the was availability for us to stay and additional night til we figured out how I was going to get back to San Diego and tow my motorcycle back home.Jennifer replied with ample time, and we were able to stay in Westphalia- while our friend transferred from the Whiskey Before Breakfast to Sailor's Hornpipe.You can't beat the location of this property.Half a block away from Albertson's Grocery store (Municipal bust stop located here also). And a block away from Blue House Bakery.I also like that Fiddler's Inn is a block away from the main road.*Do NOT park in the orthodontist parking lot next door! You will be towed!

This place was like a dream come true. We found it on hotels.com and couldn't of been more happy and pleased! They thought of everything from candies by your bedside to even a set of ear plugs if you have someone who snores! The decor was awesome. Frilly for my manly man but I absolutely adored it. We enjoyed our stay 100%!

Fiddler's Inn - what a great find! We've made three trips to Carlsbad, NM, our favorite destination with literally one thing to offer, the spectacular Carlsbad Cavern National Park. I have a Yelp Collection named "Carlsbad Cuisine" which has the intentionally ironic subtitle "A very short list". It's a sad town actually, not emblematic of what New Mexico has to offer at all. Jewels like Fiddler's Inn are thus amplified.One of the first selling points was the proximity of this charming B&B to the excellent Blue House Bakery & Coffee Shop. I was drawn in by the classic B&B look of the rooms, paired with a hotel sensibility and vouchers provided fro breakfast at the Blue House. Win, win & win!We stayed in the Orange blossom Suite, a Jack & Jill pair of rooms which was partially closed off for us so they could charge us the lower price for s single room. Amenities were reminiscent of a hotel, coffee maker, microwave, TV, etc. The extra touches included some delicious chocolate cookies and mints on each side of the bed. The room and bathroom were both clean. Water pressure was quite low. And the mattress was a little soft for my taste. But nothing major.The grounds include a courtyard with a small stage, benches and tables and string lighting. A hot tub is available, which seemed enticing on the website. But, it was 108 degrees the day were there. And the water did not look fresh. Why would it be with 108 degree weather?Check in and check out were easy. The owner was very responsive to questions. We appreciated the Albertson's Market within walking distance. There are motels at the south end of town that will save you 10-15 minutes drive to the caverns. But for me the extra time is worth it. We will definitely repeat on future visits to the caverns, our favorite day-trip getaway.

Perfect bed & breakfast! Stayed here Thanksgiving week as a birthday trip to Carlsbad Caverns for my husband. Surprised when we walked into the Cotton Eyed Jack room and it was decorated down to the coasters as an Outlander themed room! Comfy robes to go to the hot tub in, wine glasses (Albertson's is just across the street to get your locally made wine & beer), cookies and mints. Bathroom was nice with amnenties. Lots of room with a futon and "Outlander period furnishings." Perfect for a getaway. Best accomodations in Carlsbad. Just make sure that they have your correct cell number on file. They will text you the info day of on how to get into your room (code lock).

We stayed in 2 rooms for 2 nights there about a month ago. Interesting place...a theme/concept approach for each room. It was generally ok, but the biggest issue we had was that there was no one on the property to assist. They have a big sign on the front door saying that they would be back, but we never saw anyone available. That personal contact is important to us as we were tourists coming through and would have liked to chat about the area, etc. They good at marketing, not good at customer service in my opinion. Can't give them 5 stars for that reason.

We enjoyed staying at this quaint little Bed and Breakfast. It was a clean and cozy room with great outdoor space. They supplied everything we needed in the kitchenette for us to enjoy our coffee in the morning to our wine in the evening. The location was easy to find and accessible to everything we needed. The host was quick and responsive to anything we needed. The breakfast from the little coffee shop next door was delicious. It was just lovely!!

Cotton Eye Joe - Awesome! So much better than a chain hotel. Amenities were comfortable, nicely decorated, full featured B & B. Coupons for breakfast just down the street. Good size TV, different sources like Netflix, Disney, Roku Xumo, Vudu, etc. Quaint room, made up daily with little treats like mints& cookies. Internet was good, but a private driveway parking off the street was the bonus. My Host Jennifer wax the bestest! Needed to extend my stay for added nights. Could not ask for a better helper. She made everything great! I will be back here when in the area! Thanx!

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Fiddler's Inn! The Sailor's Hornpipe room was very comfortable, clean and I loved the theme! My communication with Jenn was quick and very helpful, there were cookies waiting for me when I arrived and I haven't slept in as comfortable a bed in a long time.I had read about the stairs leading down to the sleeping area but found them no issue at all! The upper landing area was plenty large to hold my bags so the walk down stayed feeling fun and kinda magical! Breakfast at the nearby Cafe was delicious and it was so nice to have that included. I would love to stay again!

The Fiddler's Inn is a jewel. The room was quirky, comfortable, and clean. The hot tub was great, too. In a world of faceless corporate hotels, this quaint B&B really is a respite from the humdrum.

Giving five stars because it's the best place to stay in town (everything else we saw was a chain motel on a very busy highway). The room was clean and comfy with a good full kitchen. The TV had ESPN so we could watch our team in March Madness, yay! Didn't try the hot tub but it looked ok.However, there's a lot of traffic noise and outside lights, at least in the Foggy Mountain suite. Jenn (host) was very helpful and let us leave a day early without penalty when we had to return home. A good place to stay for visiting Carlsbad caverns but there's not much else to do in town.
