The motel is an older property, but well-kept. My room was clean, no weird/funky smells, and the bed was very comfy. As a solo female traveler, I was a bit apprehensive. However, Howie, the owner, was so nice and friendly and made me feel very at ease. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
I appreciated the positive nature of the owner and his willingness to answer my questions and to assure I had as good stay. The facilities are a little tired and in need of an upgrade, but everything worked as it should, the room was pretty clean, and the rates were the fairest around. Plus if you like to walk, you can access many of Abileneâs coolest spots from the Diamond Motel. I would definitely stay here again. I usually stay at hotels near I70, but thereâs not a lot to walk to from there. There is good coffee to be had at the gas station across the street from the Diamond Motel.
The motel is being renovated so it's in transition. It was a good value and the the owner made sure we were taken care of relative to room temp. and cable TV. I'm confident next year it will be even better!
This is an excellent budget motel. We stayed on Christmas Eve til the day after Christmas. We arrived fairly late and the innkeeper could not have been friendlier or more helpful. He didn't act like we were putting him out even though it was Christmas Eve.
The room was nice and clean. The bed was comfortable and there are a ton of free movie channels. The wifi worked perfectly for us throughout the stay as well. We will definitely be back!
Abilene, Kansas is SO charming and delightful - like a Hallmark movie! Weâve been a couple times and we stayed at Abileneâs B&B both times. However, they were booked the first night of this trip so we stayed here 1 night since it APPEARED to have good reviews and the pictures APPEARED good or we would not have stayed. The photographer VERY strategically took photos. The furniture is old and outdated. There were too many odd tables in our room, it was too full. The tv was too small and the remote didnât work. We found a way to get the power on manually, but the management had the sound turned so low you couldnât hear it. There was a small old coffee pot but NO COFFEE to put in it! There was *NO SOAP* (or shampoo, location etc)!!! There was only ONE very small bath towel for 2 adults!!! There were ugly stains in the toilet and bathtub that could have easily been bleached or caulked if someone cared to make it look better. I donât normally leave bad reviews because I too am a small business owner and want to promote small business - but I honestly felt tricked and wanted my money back and to leave. I didnât sleep well because they used a plug in wall heater that didnât even feel safe. They told us all HVAC temperatures were handled by them and they said to call them if we were too cold (it was December)⊠We love Abilene and will be back - but we will NEVER stay here again. The bed was comfortable. Itâs a shame because this has the potential to be such a darling place!
