TOP 10 AMENITIES:
1. A "Guest Favorite" host who is responsive & ready to help with anything you need.
2. A cozy living room with a reclining couch & oversized chair to hangout in while enjoying the flicker & warmth of the electric fireplace.
3. A coffee bar with your choice of K-Cups or ground coffee to start your day.
4. Three comfy queen size beds.
5. Large main bath with a roomy, beautiful walk-in shower.
6. TV with access to Netflix, Prime, and cable TV.

- Some shopping & food within in walking distance - others just minutes away! Also near downtown & Lubbock's Art District.

LOCAL RECOMMENDATIONS (just to name a few!):
Live Music/Dinner/Drinks:

Casual dining:
- Chimy's for casual food & margaritas! Definitely a college spot - but the locals love it, too!
- Spanky's for burgers & the best cheese sticks around!
- Italian Garden - BYOW (bring your own wine)
So many great local coffee spots, but a few of my favorites are:
- J&B Coffee
- Caffeination Station (Lubbock's only sip & shop boutique/coffee shop in one)
- Sugar Browns Coffee
Shopping:
- Kingsgate Shopping Center on 82nd & Quaker: includes Lululemon, Francesca's, Bath & Body Works, Loft, La Madeline, Sprouts
