Owner was wonderful and I truly do believe that he's doing the best he can to restore to life this old motel. It has a lot of character and truly the potential to really be nicer than it is. I would hope with all the price gouging it's taking place in Abilene right now they would take advantage of that and use that money to better the motel

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is the worst hotel we have ever tried to stay in, and the only one we have ever left. there are several reasons: 1) There was virtually no parking except in a busy alley-like setting and we almost got hit twice by other cars. 2) The door to our room was very dented as though it had been severely beaten on. 3) The floor in our room was dirty and fixtures were chipped, worn out, and desparetly needed replaced. 4) The bed sheets were so badly stained there is no way we could lay in them. We felt like we needed a shower just from walking in the room and pulling the bed covers down. We decided to leave and asked for a refund which was refused. Wasted money, but still no amount could make us feel safe staying there. We got a room at another hotel and immediatley washed up.

I was really hopeful this hotel would be better but it was awful. The clean towels were gray and dirty, the AC wasn’t working correctly the first night and there’s no window. I wish it had been better but it was awful. A waste of $300

This place is disgusting and scary. Impossible to go to the bathroom sitting straight on the toilet. Have to step over the toilet to get in the shower. I thought I was going to die from inhaling the fumes in the room. DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANY LIVING THING
