"Breakfast was excellent and the check in staff was great! The rooms and bathrooms were old and the bathroom was not as clean as it could have been. "

"I expect better for a hotel that costs nearly $300 a night, the hotels in the area are price gauging because of all the work in the area. "

"The room was dirty, I saw a roach crawl from the sink and the middle bed sheet had not been washed and was covered in stains. There were stains on everything and I honestly didn’t want to touch anything. Some of the guests were super loud walking around the property shouting and arguing well into the middle of the night."

"The hotel is very run down, the carpet and furniture are dirty and in desperate need of renovation. It looks to be last renovated in the early 80's. It was not what I expected at all, considering the price point in the mid $300's. Also, once I checked in and saw the room and wanted to go elsewhere, they wouldn't issue a refund, so we were stuck. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. "

"Hotel was old and outdated as well as the furniture. Sheets had blood stains and pillows cases were black. We immediately left after asking for a refund. "

"Some small things needed attention and due to a stirm the previous week, all the parking lot lights were non functional."

"WORST stay in my life! Computer was down when I got there, hotel is under construction, NO working ice machine in the building, room 215 which I was given was across from where work was still in progress after 8 p.m. NO smoke alarm, NO phone in the room to contact the worker downstairs who had NO authority to do ANYTHING ( said she could only go through management, but they could of course NOT be reached)! TV did NOT work, even after she put new batteries in the remote, that didn't have a back as she said people keep stealing remotes and even microwaves! The toilet seat in the very run down bathroom was broken all the way across and liked to pinch your ass! NO coffee or coffee pot! When asked to be put in another room she said the hotel was booked, but it certainly was NOT! Reached out to Hotel.com as well as Wyndham in Abilene and have YET to get any response! Waiting to get a FULL refund and will gladly accept a free reservation for an upcoming trip. When leaving the young man at the front desk confirmed there was NO management on site. When I said this was the worst experience ever, he politely said Thank You! My recommendation would be...DO NOT STAY AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT! P.S. the air conditioner did work well. They need to close and finish building repairs."

"We felt safe during our stay here, and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. The location was super convenient."

"Was a great stay thank you all so much "
