Hotels in Abilene, KS

“We have very little experience at B&B's and only stayed one night here, as a matter of fact less than 24 hours. Outside, nothing special and parking is in the back of the house with no entry in the back. We were checked in promptly by Adrian and given a history tour of the house and 1st floor before being led to our 2nd floor room. The furnishings are old, as you would expect. Lighting poor and not conducive to reading in the evening. Amenities were adequate with hot and cold water, tea, hot chocolate, cookies, microwave popcorn and movies available at any time.
The room (Mamie's Honeymoon Suite) was large & bathroom was a reasonable size. The downside to the room was that every surface was used for knick knacks, making it less usable for travelers. No spot for a laptop. Even a small table in the bathroom had items on it. There was a small shelf above the sink that fit 2 glasses and a tube of toothpaste. My husband used the toilet tank top for his toiletries and I had to go back and forth into the room for my toiletries. Not convenient. Bedside lamps were not bright enough to read under. There were 2 large chairs next to a bright light to read under which was adequate. The bed was comfortable. My remote for the TV had to be held up right in front of the TV to work so there may be a battery issue there.
Since it was the middle of July, the A/C was running and the room was very cold. I wasn't meaning to complain but I mentioned that I nearly froze overnight only to be told: No, we keep it at 72 degrees in the house. We keep our house at 70 overnight and I know the difference. I didn't appreciate the contradiction.
The food was good, certainly better than hotel breakfast. We had french toast which I don't consider gourmet since I am a seasoned cook and I consider french toast an easy go to. The fruit was very fresh and nicely presented. We ate alone.
Not to be caddy but I could teach her something about homemade cookies!
Finally, our visit to Abilene was for the Eisenhower complex so it was a one and done. The location of the Inn was a very long walk to the complex and roads were closed along the way. We never met the husband (no big deal). I found Adrian very impersonal. Not a bit interested in us and was barely seen. She never smiled once - just all business. Other family members that stay in B&B's regularly, say that their experience is different and that was strange. Maybe it was an off day for Adrian.”

“One of the better ( by far) Super 8s where I've stayed. It has interior doors which keeps things quiet. Everything is carpeted, rather than the noisier vinyl tiled hotel facilities. It's cozier on a budget. Just under $60 all included. If you compare it to a 4 ? hotel that is what you should look 4. I found very little wrong worth mentioning. It certainly isn't full of the issues the negative reviews mentioned. The young lady at the desk was very polite. I found this motel a very good deal. Yes, I'm real, and not a hotel friendly bot. I am traveling (recent widower) from Colorado to Fla. I've been on this trip several times this year taking care of family business. I'd stop here again if needed. Have a merry Chrismas, Happy New Year, and Happy Hanukkah ? , everyone.”
