Good enough. Manager was VERY Helpful.

The motel served it's purpose, nothing special about it. Bathroom and room was clean. Obvious wear and tear on the bedding, etc... Be aware that trains run beside the location (twice in the night with Horn). Biggest knock against it is the same for ALL of them in Abilene, too pricey for what they are.

Mold! Stay away!

The bathroom was exceptionally small and the mat in the tub was filthy and torn up. The mini frig had mold growing in it. The train ran through every 90 minutes or so and blew its horns. It is very clear that the owners do not care about this motel. I will NEVER stay there ever again!

Dirty, stale cigarette smell, homeless /drugies on facility grounds. Unkempt and broken down rooms. Microwave was molding when asked for new one they gave me a wash cloth and spray cleaner to clean it myself. Towels had holes and were more like rags that stunk of mold. bugs, ants and train right behind the rooms that runs at all hours of the night. Not worth the money or the risk of contracting some nasty disease.
