We enjoyed a fantastic stay at Fiddler’s Inn.
We appreciated the darling, comfortable atmosphere and amenities.
We’ll likely be returning when we visit Carlsbad in the future.
The improvements I’d like to see in Orange Blossom would be removal of the worn carpeting, an updated King mattress, replacement of the bathtub, grab bars in the tub area and a higher mounted shower head.
Overall, a gem to be able to lay one’s head while visiting Carlsbad.
A lovely place to stay! Close to the caverns and many places in Carlsbad were walkable, like the cute bakery a minute walk away!
Comfortable bed and cozy room.
Me and my husband drove up to Carlsbad to hike McKittrick Canyon and see the leaves changing. We decided to stay here because it just looked so inviting. We were not disappointed at all. We had a great stay and enjoyed the amenities.
Loved our stay here in the Sailor’s Hornpipe. The room is below ground so super quiet. We enjoyed hanging out in the courtyard although a bit noisy. Although we loved the room itself the overall property looked a little tired. Seems like a little attention could make a huge difference.
I'm so glad we booked Fiddler's Inn! We had the Sailor's Hornpipe room and it was wonderfully cozy but not too small. The room is down a set of stairs and there's plenty of room for two suitcases near the front door so you don't need to walk everything down. The bed was comfortable and the welcome cookies were delicious! Easy safe parking right outside on the street. The bakery where you get the breakfast coupon was half a block away and had plenty of options. We spent a little bit more than the amount you're given but we decided to splurge a bit. Would stay again!!
Although the room was comfortable enough, there were no windows and it was very dark. The location was on a busy street.

Great in and out to Carlsbad. Loved the restaurants with discount card. Only thing I would suggest is more lighting. Room was very dark and lighting challenged. Meaning light available shined in eyes. Light near couch lamp not working. Hot tub was not advertised like on reviews but water (rainfall) was way down for the year. Great stay but be mindful of the small things people notice.
We both loved this place. It feels like a home away from home. You don’t have to check in with anyone. They send you a text message with the code and instructions shortly before you check in which is convenient and the room is so nice and cozy. The room has microwave, fridge, tv and everything else you could think of. Very clean and comfortable as well. The shower is wonderful and has a rainfall shower head. I loved it so much that I bought a rainfall shower head for my own house. The bathroom and sink is very nice.
Man I loved this place! Very comfortable! The staff were so nice, it was my wife’s birthday so I asked them to leave a note on our bed and they printed a cute note on some decorative paper! 10-10 this place is a hole in the wall!
We really enjoyed our stay. The room was quiet and comfortable. We would have loved to hang out in the lovely courtyard, but the extreme heat wouldn’t allow it. The cat welcoming committee was a nice touch too.

Chocolate chip cookies were delicious as were thoughtful bedside mints and earplugs. Unit was clean.
Window unit AC was very noisy as was band in neighborhood. The exterior door wasn’t sealed well. Parking on the street felt a little unsafe.
This was a great find staying at Carlsbad before going to the Caverns. Loved the room, very clean and comfortable. Enjoyed breakfast at the Blue House. It is near a busy street but earplugs are provided… and cookies! I definitely recommend.
I was on the road when I booked this room. I did not take the time to really look at the details. I strictly picked a place with a high guest rating. When I arrived, I realized it was a Bed and Breakfast. I typically don't use B&B's because of the sometimes community setting and occasional shared facilities. This place was absolutely the best room I have ever stayed in. The rooms are all separated with individual outside entrances. My room was the "Sailors Hornpipe". It had its own climate control and full bathroom. The decorating was awesome with the ships captain theme. My only regret is that I did not have the time to stay longer. Very clean, very friendly owner on site. I would highly recommend the Fiddler's Inn.
