First off Eff Expedia as they wouldn’t refund me. I spent over $120 on what was a 7.2 rating for this room. I pull up and immediately I notice the parking lot is full of drug addicts and no parking as advertised. Shirtless homeless people all sitting outside doing drugs. I was scared to get out of my car and immediately took off. Expedia would not refund me as they said it’s the hotels policy. DoNOT book here. Scam artists

Absolutely disgusting. Roaches and spiders everywhere. This hotel is also known for “pay by the minute”, which I had no clue; so needless to stay incredibly uncomfortable to stay here.

Cozy room and comfortable bed. AC was difficult to adjust, but I got it to work all night while I slept. Old motel on former US-80 in town, so parking is very tight and the lot is muddy. Wi-do worked OK.

Poncha motel. Abilene, Texas

It was very old and run down. A very loud air conditioner which was good which was good. It helped drown out the train which goes by across the street. We would not stay there again.

Nice, quiet, and safe. Good staff. People may question the property from the outside but I guarantee that you would love the rooms. Rooms are new, clean and really great. Will stay here again and will recommend others to stay.

The motel is VERY unsafe. I wasn’t expecting to have Crack heads in all the neighboring rooms. I was there to get some rest before taking my State Board test. Needless to say, I didn’t get rested. I even felt it necessary to block the door with chairs and a desk.
