Clea, quiet, and cozy. Aside from a few critters that make their way in, but it was solved with a bit of baby powder by the door. :)

MY HEAD ITCHES NOW
Room was dirty. .water faucets were broken. Beds were lumpy and not at all comfy. Stayed 4 nights only because our car broke down there. Housekeeping never once came by and checked to see if we needed towels or sheets. My wife had to go to front desk to ask for towels and they made it an issue when she ask for clean sheets. Staff was rude to her. Checking in was a frickin nightmare. A total inconvenience. Price for room was cheap but still too much. Roaches on bed and crickets behind the bed. No breakfast. No pool. Can't believe city doesn't shut this place down. This is by far the worst motel in Abilene. Trust me, 5 more minutes heading west on south first is better lodging. The bottom of our feet were black from walking on floor. And I been hearing and reading reviews on the nightmare of getting my 100 dollar deposit back. Before we check out today I will video the shape of this room. We caused no damage. Just few towels got very dirty from soaking up the water leaking out the fridge.

The front door did not close completely. The safety latch did work. The air conditioning worked during the day, shut off at night. The bathtub faucet leaked and got things wet. The pool was closed. No mention of that on the website. No breakfast items either. The staff went over a very long list of items that could have been charged for. But no discount for all the problems. The pictures on the website are not accurate.

Disliked: Amenities
The lady at the front desk here was great! They have updated their rooms, but there is so much riff raff loitering around the property and so much trash everywhere by the back building that just makes it look and feel unsafe. I’m not one that scares very easily but I think I’ll find different accommodations if and when I come back to Abilene.
