Beds were very uncomfortable. The $25 /day parking felt ridiculous for Abilene.

MCM Elegante Suites Abilene
This hotel is a delight. I’m giving a vibe score. All hotels everywhere should meet pay-to-play standards of cleanliness, etc. and this one does. But what about vibe? From arrival to departure, this was a great place to stay, on the vibe scale, a ten. My stay was a pleasant surprise.

Abilene Whitten Inn
I’m not really political but it should be said this is a MAGA motel. Posted at the front desk was a sign trashing democrats. I found this unnecessary and somewhat offensive The room was fine although there was a small ant colony inhabiting the night stand.
