Owner was wonderful and I truly do believe that he's doing the best he can to restore to life this old motel. It has a lot of character and truly the potential to really be nicer than it is. I would hope with all the price gouging it's taking place in Abilene right now they would take advantage of that and use that money to better the motel

I was really hopeful this hotel would be better but it was awful. The clean towels were gray and dirty, the AC wasn’t working correctly the first night and there’s no window. I wish it had been better but it was awful. A waste of $300

This place is disgusting and scary. Impossible to go to the bathroom sitting straight on the toilet. Have to step over the toilet to get in the shower. I thought I was going to die from inhaling the fumes in the room. DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANY LIVING THING
