The rates were cheap for a nights stay. But all the plugs in the room would not hold any electrical things, bed wasn't the most comfortable but not horrible, and had a kinda funny smell. The people that run it are nice though and the breakfast was not bad.

Though the lobby smelled a little like smoke, fortunately our room did not. We stayed in the handicap room on the end. The handicap features included a huge bathroom, a shower chair and hand-held shower head. There was a fidge and a microwave. It was quiet. The room had enough space, a huge bed, and was moderately clean. Just fine... More

Needs major updating. Gaps in entry door big enough for any bug or snake to get through, though that didn't happen it didn't make sleeping any more relaxing. AC was hanging off the wall but was in working condition. Sheets had stains, some of the towels were stained. Time to get new duds! Repair any loose chairs!

One of the last rooms left in Lubbock due to TTU Graduation so I paid $200. They should be ashamed charging $50 for this room but $200 is robbery. The lobby stinks and the girl there was slow and confused. The room stank, carpet stained and gross, bed lumpy, sheets torn, towel bar falling out of wall, suppose to be... More

The hotel lobby reeked of smoke. The room smelled really bad. And, the greedy thieves wanted $54 for the first night and $500 for the second night. Do yourself a favor and stay at the new Travel Lodge a few blocks away.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The only BAD thing was the WI FI service was messed up after the 2ND night. So I was unable to get on the internet. The rest of my hotel experiance was great.

This was no great hotel but it met our needs for a plce to shower and sleep. Internet, pool, free parking and breakfast. Worth what I paid for about half a hundred. AC was loud, but cool, sheets were clean, towels clean but small. Service OK not overly friendly.

Oh my God this was a terrible and Wyndham/Howard Johnsons should be ashamed of this hotel. The carpet was dirty, the curtains grimy, the bathtub floor peeling, pillows that had seen their better days, and guys drinking beer and loitering outside. I felt very uneasy as i unloaded our car because i noticed those same guys rubber necking/ casing my... More
