Diamond Motel Abilene

I really wanted to like this place. The manager was very nice. I picked it because it had decent reviews. I'm not sure why hotels in Abilene are so expensive! But my normal chain got horrible reviews, so we booked here instead. The bathroom was not very clean, kind of grungy. Tub, toilet bowl, floor could all use a scrub. Towels were very worn. My bed kept trying to toss me out of it! I'm not sure what was wrong with the bed on the frame, but getting anywhere toward the edge cause the entire mattress to tilt. Sheets were stained. Disappointing.

Old bones but newly renovated. Bed was comfy. Bathroom definitely old.

Traveling cross-country I've often chosen to stay in budget-friendly motels. I'm used to just the basics with no frills. It supports local business and each one has its own unique "feel." That said, I tolerate much and consider it a trade-off...saving money but having to tolerate sometimes lower quality.||There aren't many choices in Abilene. I doubt I'll ever stay in Abilene again but if I did I would try one of the other couple of options. Generally I just felt like this was overpriced for what we got. My $70 room with taxes etc was $90 each night.||The Good: The motel is located in a quiet residential area. The owner was very pleasant. The bed was comfortable. The water was hot and had good pressure. The TV worked fine. There was a small fridge and coffee maker but I didn't use the

This is a great budget motel. The service is above and beyond compared to corporate hotel chains. We arrived late the night before Christmas Eve and the innkeeper was gracious and kind getting us checked in. When we went to turn the TV on that night it wasn't working and he came over right away to fix it immediately. Always friendly and helpful. The TV was nice, out of the way and included a bunch of movie channels. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly for us the entire trip. The bed was comfortable and the room was super clean. We brought our dog with us which can double the cost of the hotel stay but it did not here! Finally, we felt welcome and safe to keep our dog and stuff in the hotel room. We will gladly stay here again!

I read the reviews before booking this motel. They are spot on. The owner is very courteous, the rooms are dated, but clean. I like that we got a fridge and microwave in the room. Beds were super comfy. We also didn't get any bath towels in our room. It's your typical small town motel.
