9.4/10 Exceptional! (488 reviews)
Stayed at the DoubleTree in downtown Abilene and had a great experience. The hotel is modern, clean, and in a perfect location for walking to restaurants and downtown spots. The staff was friendly and accommodating throughout my stay, and the room was spotless and comfortable. Definitely one of the nicer hotels in West Texas — I’d stay here again without hesitation.

7.8/10 Good! (397 reviews)
Staff was friendly, but the room was outdated. There was mold above the window and shower areas. Shower had very little pressure. Toilet did not stop running unless you forced the handle up. Bed was comfortable, and room was as clean as could be. A disappointing stay for the price.
