  • Cost.
  • Terrible smell outside the room all two days I was there.

“Location to the loop is good and the money paid was ok but I have stayed in motels for less money that was much better. I would not recommend this hotel.”

  • Larger rooms than other similar properties.
  • Very strong cleaning product smell throughout hotel.

“Very old H.J. motel re-branded "express" after facelift. Overpriced for what it is. Comparable properties elsewhere would bring 1.5 stars tops. Last choice because of TX Tech Homecoming weekend. Cleanliness and staff efficiency saved the experience. This is the model for a one star budget motel.”

  • It was inexpensive but would rather have chosen another location.
  • There were active drug deals going on next door. Did not feel safe.

“The original room we were placed in was in the side back of the hotel. We were not there 10 min before my teenaged son was offered drugs by one of the occupants and in the time it took us to re-pack our car and go back to the front of the Hotel we observed 3 drug exchanges. We were moved right away but I felt uncomfortable for the rest of the stay for fear that the occupants would know which room we were moved to.”

  • The continental breakfast was great.
  • The floor was filthy, door keys kept deactivating, rude front-desk help, not enough towels-ever, wobbly chairs, & the list goes on and on.

“The hotel is located in an unsafe location according to some people that live in Lubbock. The carpets were so filthy! I couldn't believe how neglected the room cleaning was. The door keys kept deactivating, and the front desk seemed so annoyed with us when we asked for help. When we asked for extra towels, no matter how many we requested, we only received two (we had four people). On the brighter side of things, the free breakfast was delicious. However, the overall visit was horrible and I will never stay there again.”

  • Location and price.
  • Needed to change the battery in smoke detector.

“It was ok for the price, and for sleeping, but that would be all.”

  • Had a hairdryer.
  • Message light blink all night on phone and hairdryer with no messages.

“When we got there they had it book on the second floor with no elevator? I walk with a cane and I am recovering from Cancer surgery. To be able to stay downstairs I had to take a 2 bed regular size. I did not get a refund or a credit for the difference, But I had to pay more for the King size bed. Does not seem fair. When I called the office on the first night and told the message light was blinking, they said I had no message and did not know why the light was blinking. The light remained blinking the 2 nights we were there It blinks on the phone and the hairdryer, very hard to sleep that way.”
