The property seems to have had a recent renovation. It was clean and quiet. Definitely above average for accommodations at this price point. We would stay here again if in the area.

It was a nice hotel to stay at. Room was nice and big and the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately no breakfast included as stated on the hotel info and there is also no little shampoo or conditioner samplers for the shower, not a huge deal but most places have them now. Staff at the front desk were super friendly.

We are sad to see you complain about everything but the rate, our rates are low because of kitchen construction. Please choose a branded property in the future to have all the luxury amenities you desire, at luxury prices. We do not offer wake up calls as it is 2024 & every person I know has a cell phone.

Very updated property! It has beautiful furniture in the lobby and the furniture in the rooms is updated as well. It was clean, safe, and I received great customer service. The price for it was also very reasonable. My family and I will definitely be staying there when we visit Abilene. Some suggestions are a set or more of washers and dryers to get more laundry done.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. It is certainly discouraging to see such a negative review with no comments. That is like bringing a knife to a gun fight--very unfair. With no comments, how are we to know what went wrong? We aren't psychics! We provide immaculately clean rooms that I personally inspect, so I fail to see the error made on our part. You received a great room at half the price of chain hotels; we surely wished you had paid double to stay there instead.

Where do i start… nowhere did it state the building was under construction and under construction is an understatement. No breakfast as advertised Front doors have to be manually opened, one elevator broken, no vending machines, Ice machines don’t work, no extra blankets or anything. They got coffee and that’s it. The room decor was not bad though the window was quite drafty. The bed was as comfortable as a hotel bed could be minus the lack of pillows. Toilet paper…. Might as well use sandpaper. There were crumbs in the bed frame The foldout bed was only meant for looks.

Michael, after reading your review, we wish you'd have paid the extra money to stay at a franchised property & spared us the negativity. No where on Expedia does it say we provide breakfast & I encourage you to go check, we will thank you to never stay again as I will personally cancel any reservation made by you.
