1. Property manager has no clue what her job actually is.
2.The property is falling apart, it is a trip hazard for anyone who stays there.
3.There is no service of any kind, no trash collection, you have to dump your own trash, no dirty linen replacement, you have to ask for fresh towels, washcloths, hand towels,etc. daily, the bathtubs are dangerous they are NOT! slip resistant I had to purchase a bathmat from the local store in order to safely take a shower.
4. The rooms are filthy.
I will never stay there again, I will never recommed to anyone to stay there.
I could go on because there's a lot more to say but why bother because the Owner/Owners will never change anything!!!! All they care about is how much money they can make!!!! They do not care about their customers safety!!!!.

Room was clean, comfortable, small. The continenal breakfast might have been OK, but on Sunday I it just wasn't. We had you come back to check in: No staff just like Sunday morning but she did return at 7 pm. Buildings look neglected but the room was cleaned and comfortable but there was no climate control to be found.

It was apparent that this property is under new management and efforts are being made to improve it. However, the sheets in our room were stained, the bedspread was old and worn, the curtains weren't attached properly. The wifi password was posted in the check in area. There is much to improve before we would recommend this property.

Worth it

So… I would probably stay here again. The room was clean and for the price you can’t really beat this place. However, if you’re looking for a quiet evening, maybe you can ask for a room not adjacent to another guest because the walls are paper thin. The place did not look very busy, so I was surprised they booked two rooms right next to each other.

Nice comfortable Mattress, HUGE fluffy King-sized pillows (by any Motel standards). Compact but efficient room, good sized bathroom. I love it when they renovate and reuse rooms in these classic older motels. How many rooms nowadays can you slide open a big window for fresh air ?? Very few... I would stay here again...

We were just passing through for 1 night. You get what you pay for, and the place is old and slightly run down. Everything in the room worked and the couple that owns it are super! The AC and comfortable firmer bed gave a good night's sleep. We found it quiet with good water pressure. Pay more if you want more than adequate.

Not worth the money. You get what you pay for.

It wasn't a pleasant stay. The only 2 good things that were good was the bed and pillows. The cons are the room stunk. Asked the clerk about and air freshener. He gave us a aerosol spray. The room was cold. Had not thermostat in the room. The bathtub drain didn't work. Couldn't close the stopper. Stayed open. Had to ask for clean towels next day and I had to pick up the used ones to hand the the person that brought the clean one. The floor was dirty. Gritty feeling like really fine sand. The GFI plug in the bathroom wasn't safety grounded. Sticker on the wall told me this. The tv, Couldn't turn up the volume. It was up all the way and it so low I could here the tv in the next room better the ours. When my wife took a shower with the door closed it was loader then the tv. Our friends got rooms their too and they weren't happy ether.

This place was not what the rating reflects. Exterior of building were in very poor condition. Our room was clean or I would hesitate to stay. No coffee or continental anything supposedly covid, which most hotels are now beyond and back to providing these services. Covid is an excuse for poor service. The price was inexpensive so you get what u pay for. Just don't expect much.
Handyman was great to try to get TV to work but we ended up with 1 channel.
Cute town but I would hesitate to stay here again.

Great Stay & Cheap Price

We didn’t need all the extra bells and whistles, so this place was great for us. Room had updated tile in the bathroom and a newer coat of paint. Mini fridge, microwave and hair dryer in the room. Updated dresser, nightstands and vanity. Loved that there was a small table with two chairs so we didn’t have to eat sitting on the bed. Staff was friendly and even let our daughter check in early when she arrived an hour before us. Bed was comfy, pillows were soft, carpet looked clean. There were no temperature controls in the room, but the temperature was fine for us. We stayed in the summer but could probably use a thicker blanket in the colder months.

The husband and wife managers/owners were very nice and helpful. Motel was probably built in the late 60's or early 70's. Room 25 was small, very old carpet, walls in need of paint. Mattress were very old and stained (I looked under the mattress cover), limp pillows. Bathroom shower very odd to use, paint needed there as well. No coffee maker but did have a microwave and small refrig. On the positive, it's a great location, close to everything. And for the price, I would stay there again if I ever go back to Abilene, KS.
