I've stayed at all the other good hotels in Lufkin, and this was the first time I've stayed here. Upon check-in, the whole staff was friendly and outgoing. The lobby area had been updated and remodeled, with a bar area and available food for breakfast and dinner. The whole hotel was very nicely maintained and up-to-date. The room has some neat touches, with a work desk that had a return, so you could set up in an "L" shape, and the flat panel TV was gi-normus! The hotel room was very quiet, with no usual slamming of doors or noise in the hall outside the room. The bartender had a great personality, and with someone so young liking the 60's and 70's music, we definitely had some talking points! I would recommend this hotel and will stay here again, as it appears I will be working in that area for the next few months.
