lodging choices

 

If you are coming to Lubbock for a Texas Tech football game, the Stadium Motel is conveniently located across the street from Jones AT&T Stadium.  However, that probably would not be a good choice -- the reviews of the single-story, 20-room motel are bad and it ranks #46 out of 56 motels in Lubbock; besides, this evening it showed a "no vacancy" sign.  A few blocks away, past the high-rise apartment buildings, is the Overton Hotel, a AAA Four-Diamond facility.  Before the new constructions, when University Avenue was still College Avenue, J. T. Davis, father of Mac Davis, operated the College Courts, an efficiency apartment complex. Mac lived there while growing up, just south of the Stadium Motel, but progress has removed many of the old places -- Stadium Motel excluded. If you wish, at the Overton Hotel, you can request the Mac Davis Suite, named for the hometown boy who "done good."  Located on the 15th floor, the Mac Davis Suite has a panoramic view of Lubbock and will only set you back $999.00 a night (breakfast included).
