A five star rating, to me, means that the place was perfect for the purpose it serves. The Rodeway Inn at White's City exists to serve families going to Carlsbad Caverns. The Caverns are NOT in Carlsbad (30 miles away). You can see the entrance to Carlsbad Caverns from this motel. There is a water park with two great slides for older kids/adults and a kiddie pool area with a pirate ship and a mushroom waterfall. There is also a regular hotel swimming pool. The motel is older but has been updated and taken care of. The folks at the front desk are very nice and accommodating. White's City is really not a city at all... just a spot in the road. There's a little grocery with just snacks; a gift shop; an arcade; a restaurant (which we did not try). If we did this again we would pack in our own snacks, sandwich making materials, milk, breakfast cereal, etc.
