Hotel near Texas Tech

<p>My son and husband are flying to Lubbock next week to visit Texas Tech. Any suggestions for a decent hotel/motel near campus? Do you think they should rent a car, or could they catch a cab from the airport to a near-campus hotel and walk while they are there? They have limited time and would rather not spend any of it getting/returning a rental car if they don't need to. Also, what are the popular restaurants in the area?</p>

<p>there are many hotels near campus. this link might help. </p>
