Just old and outdated, no amenities but will do for a one night stay. Bed was comfortable and A/C was cold so that was a plus.

I didn’t use any of the amenities. Me and my husband got weird looks the moment we walked in the door. We felt really out of place. I think it was a race issue. We stayed in our room the whole time we were there unless we left the property.

Depot District
This establishment has been around for 50 years.  Food is diner style and people are super friendly. To me it’s a “must have” when in Lubbock and worth the wait.  #GoodEats
