"The room was very clean. I noticed no buildup even in the corners like you see in other hotels. Amanda at front desk was amazing with information and just kindness! The pool was very clean and has a covered patio with fans/tables/chairs just outside the pool fence. There are very clean chaise lounges and mini tables surrounding the pool. Comfortable and there is a nice shade starting around 5pm that gradually shades the pool. We spent three hours in the pool. Vernon makes a beautiful breakfast every morning. It includes: cereal, bagels, muffins, waffles, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs plain, scrambled with cheese, beans, breakfast potatoes, bacon, sausage gravy, biscuits, 4 kinds of juice, coffee, teas, and great conversation. This was our first time in Abilene, but we will definitely stay at The Whitten Inn. The super big plus is this is a family owned motel. I would much rather give my money to a family than a big corporation!!! See you again! The Beyer Family"
"The hotel was very clean. The staff was very helpful and attentive. The room was decent and clean. The AC worked very well. The shower was amazingly hot. The breakfast was very good. It was not just a typical continental breakfast. There were hot breakfast items along with waffles, toast, and muffins. There were also cold breakfast options such as cereal and yogurt. The pool was clean and well maintained. I would definitely stay here again."
Big Country Hotel & Suites, SureStay Collection by BW
8/10 Good
"This hotel was probably super nice about 50 years ago, but it hasn't aged well -- and neither has the are in which it is located.
When I arrived, there were some sketchy looking characters hanging around the front entry and smoking, so that you couldn't enter the property without breathing their nasty cigarette smoke.
The room was OK, but really dated. The air conditioner struggled to get the room cool enough at night for sleeping. The WiFi and internet worked flawlessly.
The highlight here was that the beds in my room had the best pillows of every place I stayed on my 2 week trip. I meant to ask where I could purchase those pillows, but forgot to ask on my way out."
"The staff was great! Very friendly and accommodating. I think the room needed some work as far as the furniture and cleanliness but overall it was very comfortable and the AC worked great"
