The Overton Hotel is a brand new high-rise luxury hotel near Texas Tech University. Ask for a room on one of the top floors for amazing views of either the campus or nearby downtown Lubbock. The hotel’s elegant standard rooms are perfect for a family of 4 or 5, with two queen beds and plenty of space for a crib or rollaway. Every room contains a mini-fridge and coffee maker. Other amenities of the hotel include free wi-fi, laundry service, fitness center, and a heated outdoor pool. Their onsite restaurant, The Pecan Grill, serves a veritable feast for breakfast. It’s free, but only if you’re a part of their Preferred Guest program. There are many other restaurant choices all around the hotel if you want something simpler or cheaper.
The 15-story hotel is located next to the freeway, in the middle of a new shopping complex near the Texas Tech football stadium. You’ll find a wide variety of stores and restaurants within walking distance. Just a few minutes away is the bustling downtown area, with its historic buildings, eclectic eateries, and points of interest. You can’t visit Lubbock without paying tribute to the legendary rocker, Buddy Holly, at the museum and visual arts center devoted to him. At the very least, stop for a selfie at his life-size statue across the street. Other museums in town include the fascinating Silent Wings WWII Glider Museum, the Ranching Heritage Center, and the hands-on Science Spectrum Museum. With its wonderful location, luxury amenities, and incredible views, the Overton Hotel is an excellent choice for your family vacation in Lubbock.
