The people were very friendly, I hope this location is able to stay alive and accommodate others in the future. Will need some more cleaning, double check if the pool is open prior to booking if you're interested in that.

I had to wait for 30 minutes to check in even though I had already paid. The people in front of me hadn’t paid, so their check in took forever. The lobby was locked down so I had to stand in the small area with no where to sit.

Okay for the pricr

The room was very spacious with some updates. Some things were very outdated and the linens and towels were uncomfortable. Breakfast was in a restaurant where gratuity was expected. Service was very slow and she kept my credit card. The pool was empty.

I was really disappointed. No soap or shampoo. One towel, 4 hand towels, no wash clothes and no bath mat. Found a long black hair in one of the hand towels. There was a desk but no chair. Holes in the wall were patched but not painted. The bed was comfortable and the A/C was cool and quiet.

The floors, sheets, and bathtub were very dirty. Only 1 light worked in the room, the telephone and desk chair were very dusty. When we complaint they switch us romms but the other wasn't any better. Check out was at 11:00am and housekeeping was banging on the door before time.

An older motel seemingly locally owned and run. My experience was not terrible but not great either. Check-in was quick and the agent on duty was very friendly. A strong musty acrid smell greeted me when I opened the door to my room. Possibly an artifact of the many years that smoking was allowed in this non-smoking room. Night table lamp was missing a switch, there was a hole in the wall above the TV with protruding wiring, and the handle on the bathroom sink came off in my hand. On the other hand, the shower was hot, the AC blew wonderfully cold air, there are restaurants and other necessities nearby, and the room was acceptably clean. The bed was comfortable enough for me. There is a free cook prepared breakfast offered but I passed as I left very early the following morning. This place does have potential. It’s got a vintage vibe that could be the foundation for something better. Overall, I was most put off by the smell and that’s something that could be easily addressed.

Would not stay again

The rooms smelled musty and dirty. We got bed bugs. I didnt even have my daughter sleep in the room for that reason alone. She stayed with my mom. Breakfast was just okay. Not anything to get excited over. The restaurants service was nice though. Outside of that, not worth staying again

Throwback to the 60’s

This is a vintage 1960s motel that while still has the vintage decor and style was clean and neat. The breakfast was provided in the diner by ordering off the menu. I had coffee, eggs to order, toast and crispy bacon. My wife’s biscuits and gravy were delicious. I love that this place is still operating in an old school way. Not fancy. Not for Everyone but a pleasure for us.

Cleanliness is an issue. All the bedding was pretty bad, cigarette burns and such. Otherwise a great stay. Loved the complimentary breakfast they give to hotel guests. Restaurant quality food, and the staff was super polite and helpful. I feel that better management could make this place shine.

Looks are deceiving

Oh where do i start.. don't let the pics fool you, the rooms are not that nice. We booked a queen room, was supposed to have a couch in the room, there was none, apparently the pics are from before the remodel, per the front desk host. The first room had a squeaky ac unit, that triggered my girlfriends cptsd within 5 min. They switched us rooms, and the wifi didn't reach, and the room was right next to the office..how does the wifi not reach?? So they moved us rooms again.. the beds were hard as hell. Next morning we went to breakfast in the restaurant, waited an hour, for biscuits and gravy, and there wasnt but 3 other people in the dining hall. Overall it was a horrible experience. And we only went to sweetwater cause the there was a bunch of events in abilene this weekend, and rooms were no cheaper then 250 a night. But this was definitly not worth the $72 we paid.
