I took a large group of kids to Abilene. Since there was so much going in Abilene that weekend, Budget Host was the only Hotel left. Bob the owner told my travel agent that they had a working pool. Upon arrival we found out that the pool was nasty, smelly and green. One could not see past a few inches into the water. Some students reported having HUGE roaches in their rooms, and there was a soiled towel in my room and a soiled towel in the student's room next to mine. Breakfast was old chewy cereals, warm milk and a microwave. One kid did find the fruit, a banana. One, banana was all of their "fresh fruit" offerings on their breakfast. One kid left their phone charger. We called and owner Bob said he would "gladly send it to us." 3 weeks later he finally sent it, COD, charging us $10 for mailing it to us, for a total charge of $18 for our charger. I found him to be dishonest and a cheat. No one should ever ever stay at this hotel, unless you have a pet lizard you want to eat the giant roaches.

This hotel was bad. Plugged in a lamp and the wall began to spark and turn black. Red tick like bugs bit our arms and we called the front desk at 12:30 and told them we were leaving.

Location is perfect. Right off the highway and convenient for all areas ex: malls, churches, schools. Always treated excellently. Rooms have great amenities and owner is in the process of renovation of all rooms.

I was very pleased with the accommodations that were provided at a surprisingly low price! For the amenities, I would've expected to pay a lot more. I will definitely come back to stay at this hotel when traveling through Texas in the future. I would also recommend to others to steer away from the big name hotels and give Budget host of Abilene a try. You’ll definitely be impressed at the quality and service that you receive.

Budget Host Colonial Inn was great like always!

If every one of these motel chains establishments were as nice as this and located in every town we visited, we would use them exclusively. Thanks Staff!

The room was comfortable and clean. The Staff were helpful and friendly. I will definitely stay here the next time I come through.

Our room was clean and nice. The bathroom was also clean.

I was alone but was charged the same rate as a double. When complained, I was told it was company policy.

The only problem is that some of the facilities that are shown on their in-building signs are not open anymore (game room is closed due to illegal gambling, etc.), and the food is substandard.
