Whitten Inn University

Maria Torres very nice employee. She is always so helpful and kind

I stayed here because this place has such high ratings on here and another site I use. The first issue I had was the staff at check in. While I wouldn't call them rude, I wouldn't say friendly, either. Now, I will shoulder some blame for not requesting a 1st floor room when I booked... I asked for one at check-in. The clerk says, "Sorry, all sold out. No breakfast, coffee here from XX to XX (insert hours). Wifi password on the back, capital W." Then slides the little envelope with the card keys at me and turns and walks away. OK... no prob. I go to the room. 2nd floor, about as far from the stairs as you can get. Nice for a 100% disabled vet with cardiac problems... So, I get to the room, I'm tired from driving, and unloading. I get the air conditioner going, close the curtains, and pass out. In the AM I get up and begin to notice things. The shower caulking is moldy. There is dirt pushed up in the corners of the tile/tub. The door to the bathroom is off level and swings halfway shut. The tray that the ice bucket and cups are on is covered with short brown hairs - not mine. Annoying. I can deal with it all, though. I do my business that day the next morning, as I'm getting my stuff loaded, I drop my sunglasses and they are slightly under the second bed.. I look under - There's an old water bottle cap. A dirty used band aid. And other, unidentified objects. Obviously, their housekeeping staff NEVER moves the beds to clean. The dirt and dust was thick underneath. So, things look great on the surface, but... When you look closer, its filthy. No, this was my first, and last stay at this one. They had no amenities that made it worth the cost

the Whitten's have been in the motel business in Abilene for a long time and do it right. this is an older motel, but they keep it in good shape and updated. i had no problem of any kind from arrival to leaving. nice front desk person. no breakfast at the present time. as others have mentioned many good restaurants and fast food within walking distance. also a Walmart across the street.

A great spot - very clean and good, friendly desk service. An excellent traveler's motel, great location near various restaurants, a WalMart, and the interstate. Would definitely stay if ever in town again.

Convenient, clean, and friendly motel with some fun, local decorations in the common areas. Many local restaurants and stores (most, but not all, chains) are within easy walking diatance or a very short drive.

Room was great, staff was awesome and friendly. Loved on our dogs. Asked for extra towels they are very accommodating. This is my second time to stay here, i will stay here every time we come to the dog show.
