Ashmore Inn and Suites Lubbock

This was the quietest stay I've ever had at a hotel. There was some expected highway noise outside, but we didn't hear anyone in the hallways, neighbor plumbing, TVs from other rooms, or doors closing. If the parking lot wasn't full, I would have thought we were the only ones there. Mattress was an older style, but very comfortable.

We stayed on two separate nights. The staff were very friendly and the rooms were clean. The hotel is easy to get to from the freeway, but if you're coming from the east, follow your GPS directions carefully - it appears you're going the wrong way until the last minute! There are several restaurants within a minute or two walking distance - see my "didn't like" section! This hotel was a recommendation from a friend, and she was right - it's a great place to stay and very reasonably priced.

The hotel was recommended to us by a frend as being comfortable, clean, good value for money, and in a safe area. It was definitely all these things. Nothing fancy, but it really didn't need to be. We were on a trip where we needed a convenient place to stay that wouldn't break the budget. There are plenty of food options right across the parking lot, and an inexpensive gas station for when you get back on the road, so it has all the amenities you would need. It's right off the freeway, so it's easy to access. It also looks like a local place, and not part of a chain, so we were glad that our money was going to a smaller business.

Originally, my friend and I were given a room on the second floor. We're "senior citizens," so I asked if there was a first floor possibility. Although the hotel was designated as "fully booked," the young man at the reception desk found a first floor room for us. It was clean and well maintained. The only clue that it had not been completely renovated was the desk chair, which had some taped repairs.

I like the retro look of the building, the entry, and the lobby. It has a little less of a corporate feel. The room was very clean, comfortable, and supplied toiletries, including hand lotion, tissues, and extra towels. They had a variety of pillows, so I could find one I liked. The pool looked inviting although I didn't have time to use it. It was nice to see that they had a washer and dryer that guests could use. The value for dollar is exceptional!
