Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Abilene East District
This place is obvious undergoing room renovations. Ours was not one of them. But my son, had a much better one. The rooms in the back of this property are for low life's and drug smokers. I would never recommend this place unless it was your last resort to have a roof over your head.
