The staff were very friendly and personable. Our room was spotless and smelled fresh upon entry. The only issue we encountered was the elevator went out on the second day of our stay. We were on the 4th floor and had to march up the stairs with little kids a few times a day. It was an inconvenience, but it wasn’t the worst thing for us. If one of us was unable to climb stairs, I would have requested to move to another floor and I am sure they would have done what they could to accommodate us. On the upside, there was literally no one else up on the 4th floor with us! The beds were comfy, the AC unit worked well, the ice machine worked just fine, so overall, I would say we had a good stay! Even with the elevator issue, I would stay here again. They can’t control when equipment malfunctions!

The hotel has a “policy” of only deep cleaning the room on the third day, with a “refresh” on the second day. This policy was not communicated to us, nor was there any information in the room. Even with that, they failed to “refresh” the room at all. There were no clean towels, cups, or coffee supplied. They said that they could not provide a discount on the room even though it was their mistake because we booked through Expedia.

The property appeared to be recently remodeled and was mostly very clean. The staff was very nice. The 2 things I would recommend that they pay some attention to are: 1 - The smells. The elevator smelled foul. We opted for the stairs after our first elevator ride. Also, the hallway on our floor (2) smelled very chemically, like they were trying to cover up something. I honestly thought someone had smoked in there and they were trying to cover it up. But the smells were off-putting. But we were fine once we got into our room. 2 - The shower stall had some mildew around the bottom that needed attention.

We liked the room and it’s cleanliness. The only problem we had was the room above us was so loud. It sounded like there were cattle running back and forth. I called the front desk and complained but nothing was done. They kept running back and forth. FYI, they looked alot like the woman who was at the front desk. Never saw any parents with these kids downstairs.

I booked this through a third-party on Hotels.com and was going to Brownwood because my Mother-In-Law was admitted to the hospital there for heart complications and while driving to Brownwood I was informed that my MIL was severe and they would be transferring her to Abilene and so I called the hotel and the lady was very understanding and she said because I booked through a third-party I would have to cancel with them. I reached out to Hotels.com and they said they would cancel it and it would be up to the Hotel itself if they wanted to refund my money. So I checked my CC and they still charged me for one night. Not even any sympathy to the situation.
