The price gouging during Texas Tech’s parent’s weekend really makes it tough. No way this room is worth $400 a night. What a shame to take advantage of people wanting to see their children.

The girl that checked me in was nice but kept calling me honey and things like that. Ma’am is fine but I could be her mother so I dont want to be called honey. The room was very clean besides some hairs infromt od the tub. Unfortunately checkout went very poorly. Our key device ran out of batteries and we ended up 30 mins delayed leaving to get in for our things after breakfast. Worse than that - without me present they gave my 17yr old son access to my room without showing ID. His name was not on the room anyways. Yes he’s a polite young man with his football teams hoodie on but that is UNSAFE for women to allow anyone access without following protocol. The man checking me out said he can “just tell” if they’re lying. No sir. He finally admitted he broke protocol. Be aware women!
