The pool & hot have been closed for TWO YEARS! Planned to workout and soak in hot tub. No workout or hand towels for sweat present in the workout room. Water temp in shower not hot enough! No warm food for breakfast other than instant oatmeal. Other than that the front desk service and room was fabulous!

This property should NOT be a two star - it should easily be a 3 star. I stayed here on the way back from a conference after staying in a name brand 3-4 star hotel in a Texas city. Lea County Inn was by and large the way better experience. The staff was so friendly and kind and the room was immaculate with amenities you don't expect at their price point (nice toiletries, microwave and larger fridge, etc) and the bedding was clean and super comfy. It seems to be a family run establishment and every staff member I talked to was so friendly and kind and wanted to make sure I had what I needed. The hotel is safe, quiet and so clean. Even though it was on a frontage road, there was a nice park down the street with a lake. I don't know when I'll be back this way but when I do, this will definitely be my go-to hotel. A hidden gem.

Just the smell when we arrived was kind of wird. I asked for a non smoke room. Maybe because it was very close to the back entrance. And we wanted to extend one night but it couldn’t be the same room, ok. But We have to do the check out and then wait 3 hrs for the check inn.

My stay was fine. The only issue I had was with the shower head. It was mounted way too high for me to reach to adjust either the angle or the spray. I am 5\'7" tall. I would need to be at least a foot taller to reach the shower head.

I stayed alone while passing through on a roadtrip. Was planning to stop in Carlsbad, which felt unkempt and unsafe, so I drove the extra hour to Hobbs. Lea County Inn is locally owned but has the cleanliness, service and amenities of an established corporation… if not better. The room was very clean, they offered a very generous breakfast and all the staff was kind. I was very pleased with my stay and highly recommend to anyone passing through the area.
