Decided to try it this weekend after reading very good reviews and getting the $63 Liberty rate and it has been exactly as advertised. Clean, walking distance to campus, beds not plush but doable, extremely economical. Not the place you want to go for the once a year vacation, but in situations where you are frequenting the area regularly and you need to stay on a budget, this hotel makes sense. The desk clerk said they may be renegotiating for next year but the double is $63 and a single is only $53 - hard to beat and again, maybe I got lucky this time, but the rooms and lobby areas are satisfactorily clean.I have stayed there, and you are right. No frills, but it's economical and works. I have been spoiled, however, by a stay at Craddock Terry. The rooms are as nice as any I have ever stayed in, and the breakfast that comes in a shoebox is cooler than it sounds. The hotel runs specials frequently so it's not that out of line price-wise.

I vowed I'd never stay there again and I haven't.

Outside of their great view, they have nothing notable.

Although its not a factor for me since when I'm in Lburg I've got so much to do/see I don't have time for a pool. And their location isn't any better than Extended Stay, Super 8, HGI, Spring Hill Suites, etc., etc.jcmanson wrote:Everybody voting for Wingate - why?Indoor pool and LOCATION.

Also I hate when people say something is terrible and don't explain why its terrible.

Travelling with dogs is 10x worse than travelling with small children.yeah but the only friends with a house and is dog friendly were expecting a baby any day so didn't want to leave him with them and it was cheaper to bring him with us, but next time around I will spend a little extra though

I think they have a better breakfast than the SHS.
