Windmill Inn- Cozy 2-bedroom house near South Downtown Abilene
Good location, close to school, eateries, etc... plenty of room for our family. Loaded kitchen. Much better alternative than a hotel...

MCM Elegante Suites Abilene
It’s a bit older hotel, but still clean enough. We didn’t get to enjoy any of the amenities, but there seemed to be quite a few that people were enjoying. We would likely stay again as it was a good value for the price.
