MY HEAD ITCHES NOW
Room was dirty. .water faucets were broken. Beds were lumpy and not at all comfy. Stayed 4 nights only because our car broke down there. Housekeeping never once came by and checked to see if we needed towels or sheets. My wife had to go to front desk to ask for towels and they made it an issue when she ask for clean sheets. Staff was rude to her. Checking in was a frickin nightmare. A total inconvenience. Price for room was cheap but still too much. Roaches on bed and crickets behind the bed. No breakfast. No pool. Can't believe city doesn't shut this place down. This is by far the worst motel in Abilene. Trust me, 5 more minutes heading west on south first is better lodging. The bottom of our feet were black from walking on floor. And I been hearing and reading reviews on the nightmare of getting my 100 dollar deposit back. Before we check out today I will video the shape of this room. We caused no damage. Just few towels got very dirty from soaking up the water leaking out the fridge.
