Booked a couple months before I was doing my stay and then when I got there after I stayed the first day I got online and saw that the price listed online and that there were four available was half the price and it's already paid so I asked if I could check out and recheck you know keep the same room absolutely not you'd have to check with the owner. Where's the owner while he's in Dallas what's his phone number? Can't give it out needless to say I checked out someone else elsewhere. have a nice day.

No hot water in room. Then poor resolution by hotel and seemingly no manager on duty to contact for issues. One female staff member very apologetic as I was issued a refund and had to get a room at another hotel.

However, I do believe in second chances will be staying for one day a week later. I really would like to give this property a better review and retract this one.

I like the older hotels where the sinks ( there was two in my room) are separated from the bath and toilet. My shower was just like i like it, plenty of hot water with wonderful water pressure.

Stay away from this place; it is a dump! The front desk staff was adequate. Upon entering our room, we found the bed pillows were stacked up in a pile on the edge of the bed and someone had laid on them...YUCK! I reported this to the Front Desk along with the fact there was trash in the waste basket and another door key on the table. She said she would notify \"housekeeping\". A few minutes later she called to say we could come down to the front desk to get clean pillowcases. There is black mold around the tub, the flooring is buckled/lifting, there is some sort of metal vent cover on the bathroom window ledge that is literally covered with dirt and dead bugs. The windows look as if they have never been washed. And don't get me started describing the furniture ...and the barking dog😒. The dresser and table were old, shabby and the varnish was peeling. The one chair had its stuffing coming out of it through the huge rip in the fabric covering. The are cigarette butts and trash all over the parking area that have been there for a long time. We erred on the side of caution and decided NOT TO EAT their breakfast. We're going to notify the Texas health department about this place, especially the black mold. Does anyone from Expedia actually go to the places you sell and review them?

An older motel seemingly locally owned and run. My experience was not terrible but not great either. Check-in was quick and the agent on duty was very friendly. A strong musty acrid smell greeted me when I opened the door to my room. Possibly an artifact of the many years that smoking was allowed in this non-smoking room. Night table lamp was missing a switch, there was a hole in the wall above the TV with protruding wiring, and the handle on the bathroom sink came off in my hand.

On the other hand, the shower was hot, the AC blew wonderfully cold air, there are restaurants and other necessities nearby, and the room was acceptably clean. The bed was comfortable enough for me.

There is a free cook prepared breakfast offered but I passed as I left very early the following morning.

This place does have potential. It’s got a vintage vibe that could be the foundation for something better. Overall, I was most put off by the smell and that’s something that could be easily addressed.

Throwback to the 60’s

This is a vintage 1960s motel that while still has the vintage decor and style was clean and neat. The breakfast was provided in the diner by ordering off the menu. I had coffee, eggs to order, toast and crispy bacon. My wife’s biscuits and gravy were delicious. I love that this place is still operating in an old school way. Not fancy. Not for Everyone but a pleasure for us.

Looks are deceiving

Oh where do i start.. don't let the pics fool you, the rooms are not that nice. We booked a queen room, was supposed to have a couch in the room, there was none, apparently the pics are from before the remodel, per the front desk host. The first room had a squeaky ac unit, that triggered my girlfriends cptsd within 5 min. They switched us rooms, and the wifi didn't reach, and the room was right next to the office..how does the wifi not reach?? So they moved us rooms again.. the beds were hard as hell. Next morning we went to breakfast in the restaurant, waited an hour, for biscuits and gravy, and there wasnt but 3 other people in the dining hall. Overall it was a horrible experience. And we only went to sweetwater cause the there was a bunch of events in abilene this weekend, and rooms were no cheaper then 250 a night. But this was definitly not worth the $72 we paid.

I had no idea we were getting a smoking room. We don't smoke, we weren't asked about smoking, and the room definitely smelled rough. I was LUCKY when we first checked in. My son and I noticed a large cockroach under the bathroom sink. I was able to kill it and get it in the trash before my wife saw it (thankfully it was on its back and not moving). Had my wife saw it, we would have left. I didn't say anything to her because I knew the entire area was sold out due to the events in town. I also did not tell the hotel staff. I could have but then my wife would have wondered why I needed to go to the front desk 10 minutes after checking in with a something wrapped in tissue paper. The breakfast was good and waitstaff was nice. The pool was 3/4 drained and the green water drew an \"ewww\" from my kids. In the bathroom the vent near the floor was coming off the wall.
We stayed here in hopes of a country western small town feel. It was less than I expected. Needless to say, if we ever go back to Sweetwater, we'll stay in a name brand hotel.

While taking a bath huge cockroach under the shampoo holder, under the bed 2 cockroaches. Bed sheets are DIRTY lots if cumm and other stains. Chair has obvious accident, poop stain! They say FREE Breakfast but you will get only 2 even-though 4 people checked in. So you have to pay $9 for each extra breakfast.

Great stay!

Absolutely wonderful check in with the front desk staff. Our attendant was so courteous and sweet, and even took time to answer a lot of my questions before I arrived.
The room we got was fantastic and very large given the motel amenities- it was much larger than I expected and I really appreciated the fact that the front desk girl had told me the king was actually bigger than the double queen rooms. We had a great stay and the room plus price was perfect for us. They had a fridge and micro, which is great!
We were able to drive right up to the room and park in front of it. It was a clean, quiet enough area and I felt safe. The breakfast was very yummy, though it did take an hour to get our breakfast. Probably would have been worthwhile to know before we sat down since we were on a schedule. They had 3 options for the breakfast - - you could add more for a cost. Not a lot of choice for the free options, so that probably could be a tiny bit better, but the food was good.
The room definitely can use updates, so hopefully that's in the books! I really liked the discrete blinds and big windows.
Would consider getting shampoo bottles or refillable bottles that mount on the wall instead of small individual packets.
Definitely would go back regardless.
