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

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

I accidentally booked this motel when I was in a rush. This place was so scary to be at. I checked in and then left after seeing that my door to the room didn’t even shut all the way and there was gaps in the door. No blinds in the bathroom just a little curtain u could see through. It was beyond sketchy.
