May 19th 2012 I’m writing this letter to inform the management of the Whitten Inn that a staff member mistreated me as a guest there. Here is a recollection of what happened: I was walking my Beagle on the grass near the pool with out leash around 2 pm on May 17th and was told by a room cleaner there... More

My company has stayed there several times over the past few years. The trip this week was the worst. We could not get in our rooms until almost 5pm; we tried to get the breakfast that was offered on 2 of the mornings.... we waited for 40 minutes the first morning and had to leave for appointments.... we waited 35...

I have stayed at this whitten Inn before in the past and have a fairly good experience. This time....not so much. First there were issues with the resverations. They lost them, then found, then lost, then found them. The front desk apparently had no communication with each other. They regused my AARP discount this time, stating that because the "hotel"...

We are so sorry but we have found no record of the conditions that you said was found in one of our hotel rooms. We only have twelve king rooms and checked everyone of them and could not find a mattress that you described nor a crack in the ceiling. We would appreciate it if you would contact Karen our... More

Room-gross. No soaps even provided. Terrible breakfast. Oh and my car was broken into. Management did nothing, cameras caught nothing. Will never stay here again.

We would like to respond to the no soap issues perhaps you missed our new soap dispensers in our bathroom areas. We no longer use the bar soap, as the liquid soap is more sanitary. We have a very nice continental breakfast perhaps you were looking for a hot breakfast. We are sorry this is a very isolated incident of... More

We would request that you call our front office manager Karen so that we can get your information and the room number which you stayed in, so that we can take care of the issues you had. We would also like you to know Mr. Whitten is always yelling at something, or someone but he is generally harmless. More

I was pleased with the price and friendly service. My room was comfortable and clean. I can't think of a better place to stay.

One of the beds was broken down on one side, there were crickets EVERYWHERE!!!! We were here for the State 4-H Horse Show, and stayed 6 days. It was cheap and now we know why. The free breakfast was not very good. Below average. The employees were nice. It won't be our first choice next year. They need to get... More

Evidently we chose the WRONG Whitten Inn in Abilene during a recent overnight visit. (April 2007) We chose the one on old Hiway 80, and were disappointed by the room. Not only did it smell bad, it was only marginally clean. On the plus side, the staff was very courteous and friendly. The (complimentary) continental breakfast was plentiful and nicely... More

I usually stay at some larger chains, but I stumbled across The Whitten by accident and being extremely tired of driving and needing to get some sleep I decided to stop in and give it a try. Eventhough it was late (12:30am) I was greeted by the friendliest lady who was more than happy to have my business. Some of... More

After reading other reviews for this motel, I'm wondering if I stayed at the same place some of the other reviewers did! Our experience was very pleasant. The two young people at the front desk couldn't have been more courteous and helpful. Yes, they did ask the reason for our visit to Abilene, but they certainly didn't appear "nosy" to... More
