Friendly staff. Nice accommodations, including game room, covered patio with tables by pool, nice seating area in lobby, small market, Starbucks coffee machine in lobby, and made to order breakfast! Rooms were large and clean, comfy beds with many pillows. TVs had lots of channel options. AC worked well, though a little loud. Keurig in room with k-cups, as well as mini fridge and microwave. Nice outdoor pool. Great place to stay!

Staff was very friendly. Nice seating in lobby area with Starbucks coffee available in lobby 24/7. Rooms were spacious and clean. Beds were soft and comfy with lots of pillows. Brand name toiletries with soft towels and soft toilet paper. Keurig coffee maker (with k-cups), as well as mini fridge and microwave in each room. Game room with ping pong, lovely covered outdoor patio mat poolside. Breakfasts included hot items (sausage, scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits & gravy, oatmeal) and cold items (Cereal, yogurt, danishes, fruit, milk, juices) and pre packed items (peanut butter, Nutella). But the best part of breakfast was the station where you could order an omelette, waffles, or eggs over easy!

The hotel is also close to a variety of restaurants and shopping. Overall a quiet and clean hotel that I would patronize again if the need arose.

Pillows and bed were amazing. There is free beer in the lobby in the evening. The only thing missing was a coffee pot in the room which was not a big deal for me, but might be for others. Breakfast was good with real scrambled eggs two ways. Property is older but under renovation. The owner has many family woking for him and is very involved. This is the second time I stayed here and I will definitely stay again.

This hotel is shocking and the manager was extremely rude and unhelpful. The AC was sporadic and when it worked it was like a helicopter taking off. The electrical sockets in the room were either not working or unsafe and sparking and as for the WiFi let’s say we had better reception in the 00’s! The house keeping staff and breakfast team were excellent but this hotel stay was awful and that is being mild.

Just needed a room to sleep. The king bed was rather hard and kinda noisy with the base so if you like that then that'd be great for you. We didn't like how loud the air conditioning was when it turned on and off it was noisier than average. More accessible plugins are needed in the future but I just unplugged the microwave to charge my phone The shower had great water pressure with a not slippery tub. I had forgotten there was not an elevator before checking in but we could manage one flight of stair one trip up and down. Breakfast was awesome and the first time I had ever seen sliced cheese offered for using on whatever you like. Hash brown patties and mini waffles are available behind the omelette station but I didn't ask for anything from there. Not too bad of a place for a reasonable price but a hot tub would be nice bonus like it had many years ago.

Booked a room at the last minute that was close to The Cotton Patch restaurant in Abilene & this place had decent reviews. The mystery stain on the wall under the sink was disturbing & the floor had obviously not been thoroughly cleaned but my shoes stay on & we were only staying one night. Parking lot was taken up by big work trucks hogging three spots by parking sideways. Bed was comfy & linens passed the smell test.

It was fine for the price and 1 night stay. Definitely in need of updating. It was about what I expected at this price point and after reading reviews. My chief complaint was the window air conditioner is very loud when it comes on and there is no way to keep it on all the time so when you’re sleeping, it comes on really loud and then when it goes off it’s silent and then it comes on really loud and goes off silent. It makes it really hard to sleep if you’re sensitive to noise like I am. Also, even though I had it turned down to 60 the room was not as cool as I like to sleep probably more like 72 and a tad humid. Not terrible but not ideal. If not for that, we would stay there again when we return in a few weeks, but we will probably opt for a different hotel because of the air conditioning noise. Otherwise it was comfortable and fine.

Large room with microwave, fridge, and a sofa sleeper. King bed was comfortable. Large screen TV. The AC was on and the room was cool when we arrived—a great thing since it was 108 outside. Staff was friendly and efficient, especially the breakfast cook. He was very helpful and prepared a special meal to eliminate the allergens. Many thanks for that.

We only stayed 1 night while traveling thru. Had a clean room. It was very good since we had a small older pet. Did have to put up a $100 cash pet deposit plus the $25 pet deposit on the card. Did get the cash deposit back upon check out since my pet did no damages to the room. Staff was very nice. Breakfast was very good and the gentleman working the breakfast was very courteous and kept area clean. Could tell the owner of this hotel is making newer updates. Had a small mall close by of walking distance and Cheddar's restraunt next door which had very good food and small bar for drinks.

I'd rate this hotel as 2.5 star for now. Positive: Convenience to the mall, restaurants and everything around, bed and pillows(plenty of them)are soft and comfortable. The breakfast had quiet a collection of hot and cold, plenty of space. However, when husband and I got the biscuit, it was old and stale. It is a very old and run down hotel. But it looks like the new owner is trying to renovate one space at a time. The outside still looks rundown and over painted. The lobby has a musty smell, but good that they changed the carpet all the way to the rooms. The ceiling is very low and it's moldy some has holes and needed overhaul. The bathroom tiles and the whole bathroom needs a major overhaul with a better shower head.

On the outside, the property is run down, but on the inside it’s very clean, comfortable and the staff is incredible! Cheddars restaurant is right next door and tons of dining options are right down the street. The breakfast is wonderful and the omelets they make are first class and made to order. All the amenities that you could want are here and more. Don’t let the outside fool you, the inside and the staff will definitely win you over. There was seven of us that stayed here for two nights and we are already planning on returning! Please give this place a try… you won’t be disappointed by the price or the comforts.

For the most it was pleasant and went well. Our only issue was the first morning for breakfast and the attendant, Harry, was really rude and should not be interacting with guest. My son was disappointed that the game room is being remodeled and not open and my husband was disappointed that omelets are no longer offered. Only photo I got this time was our pool view.

They had scrambled eggs three was, sausage, bacon, biscuits, gravy, tortillas on request, waffles, and oatmeal as well as two cold cereals, bottled water and 4 breakfast drink choices. The bed was extremely comfortable and the pillows were amazing. The only bad side was the bathroom fixtures were not replaced so there were scratches, etc in tub and sink but they were clean.

Was a great place to stay and the breakfast was a great breakfast included in the stay. Not a small breakfast either. They go all out with eggs, bacon, Taters, sausage, gravy, biscuits and you can even make your own pancakes plus there is a coffee bar. Nice simple place to stay not overly extravagant but has everything you need for rest and comfort. Has microwave and fridge in rooms. Comfy beds and ac works just fine for the humid time we went. Thank you for your accomodations and reasonable price!!! Blessings!!!
