  • Visit a "bikes only" motel where it's too bad if you're not on two wheels. Find out why this overnight in Texas says "no cars allowed."

    I stayed there a couple of times in the late 2000s. Deb was always great, even when she was overwhelmed. I miss this place. Every time I pass by the old location on my bike, it hits me right in the feels when I remember that it's not D'Rose anymore.

    What a great woman, entrepreneur and hostess, whose created a wonderful business model that's clearly working out very well for her and her appreciative guests!

      @@giovannimannelli2158 Maybe because bikers don't ride much during the long hot months. "Bikers Only Policy" may have bern bad for business especially during the longest season - just guessing.

    Deb is a straight-shooter...don't try to buck the rules & all will be well. You rock, Deb! Great place and I'll be staying there again & again!

    It's unfortunate that Deb sold the place but I know it was overwhelming for her doing it alone. It's now called "The Historic Leakey Inn" but it's still biker-friendly but not just bikes only now. Good luck to you, Deb!

      Hundreds of motorcycles ride those roads on a daily basis there’s more than enough business just in motorcycle traffic alone

    Stopped in Lubbock Tx last week or so only to find out my udentity was stolen.
    La Qunita did not care.
    Bank unlocked card for room, but hotel would not help with a paltry cash advance of $100 for gas.
    Harley Dealer would not help either.
    Lubbock doesnt care.
    44F, Rain, and no hospitality or christian values, pass on Lubbock.
    Shamrock, The Tower, they offered to help.
    Happy, Texas, good people too.
    Big citys do not reflect the Texas I remember. Independent bike shops do.
