No amenities; glasses, Kleenex, fridge, microwave, ice, breakfast, office locked, pay through window, cheap motel charged over $250 for a busy weekend. Would be a decent $49 motel. At least I haven’t seen crawling insects yet. I had trusted Expedia for this one… mistake!

WORST HOTEL EVER!!!

I didn't even get to check in, the man was very unfriendly, he said there wasn't even a reservation in his system. He kept asking for my mom's ID, even though I am the one who has the name on the room, and tried to make me pay for a 2 bed room even though I ALREADY PAID FOR THE ROOM. it was so infuriating me and my mom went to another hotel to stay the night!! I want a refund!

When I arrived I found out my reservation had been cancelled without allowing me to fix the problem. I was provided a room. On arrival to the room I found the shower with trash in it. I reported it and it was taken care of. The bathroom door is coming off the hinges, so unable to close the door. Had a late night problem with the toilet, called for a plunger, it was delivered and fixed. I am thankful to the staff for their attention and courtesy.

PRICE GOUGING to the max. Paid $171 for a last minute reservation due to unforeseen circumstances and this motel happened to be one of the few available. Room was terrible. Looked dirty; bed sheets had stains and lighting was so dim, cobwebs on every corner of the room, no Wi-Fi, and no breakfast to say the least. Overall experience was TERRIBLE I will not be staying here again.

Filthy and severely overpriced.

I took my daughter to visit my brother in Abilene; he had been ill so the trip was planned unexpectedly. When I tried to book a room for the night, all the hotels were booked because of a coronavirus super spreader event, Outlaws & Legends. This was the only room I could find. It was a suite in a seedy motel. I paid $200. It was filthy. The floor was so dirty we couldn’t walk with bare feet on it. There was dust and grime on every surface. There were stains on the bed sheets and pillow cases, or they were just dirty. The bathroom was disgusting. We left the light on to keep the bugs at bay. We should have packed a tent and camped instead.

Bed bugs and horrible"customer service"

BED BUGS!!!, MY NUMBER ONE COMPLAINTS, but I guess would you expect being that this is one of the trashier places I've EVER stayed!! If I wasn't so sure I was not going to get a return I would definitely be requiring one.The owners are extremely rude at any given moment. And just they were never taught anything about customer service! Should I would truly was offended by the way they treat their customers. If you pay someone stay at their place at least fake being cordial.
