Lubbock Hotels

Moobs · January 31

Their prices and availability are crazy out there. $370 a night for a Holiday Inn Express and many hotels are already full if you're looking to head out there for the UNT game. I was really looking forward to heading out there for that game, but I'm not so sure right now.

I didn’t look up the dates, so I just picked mid-September. The are a number of less expensive options.

My daughter graduated from Tech, they always jack up the hotel prices for anything that was related to Tech. It is ridiculous.

Stay in Post or Slaton and drive in. If you just need a bed and shower for a night or two, you'll save a lot of money. We were in Lubbock for Tech graduation and stayed in Slaton at Knight's Inn for less than $100.

It's not the Ritz-Carlton, but...

Hotels in Denton do the same thing, saw that when we visited for a game last fall, prices were jacked up easily 50%

There should be some AirBnB’s available.

Yup I can attest to this as well. My girlfriend's best friend wanted to come into town for the Cal game as he graduated from there. We were looking at $300 plus for average Holiday Inn type motels and the fancy places like the Embassy Suites were all book up.

Well damn, I’m on top of things!

There are a few reasonable rates out there, but you better book now, otherwise do as mentioned above and stay in a surrounding town.

I would stay at my aunts house there but my uncle is a asshole…

Snyder is a good option straight along US 84 with almost every mid-tier brand just over an hour southeast and on the way back via I-20.

If you are driving from DFW, that would make sense and be a good option. Not so much if you are driving out of Denton.

Edit: For the person this confused, driving from Denton to Lubbock on I20 is way out of the way. Look it up.

$370 a night isn’t bad to get paid to stay in Lubbock. I’ve done it for less. Oh wait…

I think that includes a really dirty hooker as well

I prefer the IHG brand as well but there's still a few much more affordable Wyndham brand... I'm showing a new LaQuinta for $119/night from the 13th to the 15th.

For the love of God, no matter how many hotels/motels sell out do not under any circumstances stay at the Red Roof Inn in Lubbock.

Crap I reserved there with no refund. Details to watch out for? I went cheap and got a $49 rate.

Save yourself and just drive to Denton or Abeline or San Angelo something, somewhere else.

We booked sometime a few weeks ago and it was $548 for two nights at Home 2 Suites on the Hilton app.

Honestly it's no better or worse than some of the prices for hotels at our other away game cities. Two nights at the Hampton Inn in Hattiesburg, especially if it was their homecoming weekend, would regularly be $600 back when we were in CUSA. Have you ever tried to stay two nights in Ruston? $550 to $650 at that Courtyard during most of our weekends there.

Being a college football fan has never been cheap.

Take a camper and stay at Palo Duro Canyon State Park.

I would think we could get a good showing to the Tech game, better than Arky in 2018. Who here would be interested in staying at the same place if a group discount could be acquired at a reasonable hotel?
