Top hotels in SoDA District

Days Inn by Wyndham Abilene
"The room was okay but the carpet was old and torn. The tub was nasty and moldy around the drain. I wouldn’t take a bath. The bed was nice and clean with fresh sheets and the refrigerator was clean. Overall, the room was not worth the price. This was a two star room with Three star price. Beware!"

Rodeway Inn Abilene West
"The real presence of the facility is nothing like the website represents. The facility is rundown and unkempt. The checkin/checkout staff is unfriendly and non-professional zombies. If travelers are looking for a nice stay, do not choose this facility."
