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.

This is an old motel that hasn’t been kept up and is in a similar area of town. It’s unfortunate because the owners were very nice and extremely accommodating, and at least the bed had clean sheets. But there was soap and hair in the shower from a previous occupant, cracked tiles and a spitting the floor which felt like I was going to fall through each time I passed over it. I would not recommend it at all

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Too bad Expedia does not vet their vendors. This place is unlivable and should be condemned by the Dept of Health and demolished. The room was filthy and gross, and the parking lot looks like it hadn't been paved since the War of 1812. I could not stay in the room for more than 10 minutes without vomiting. I actually had to return to my vehicle to figure out how to reach out to Expedia to request a refund. I returned the key to the front office and asked for a refund because I could not stay if they could not guarantee my health and safety...which was refused. I took a few photos that I shared with Expedia Support and with you here so you can see the dilapidated building, filthy walls, dirty floor, the marked up and damaged "kitchen" appliances, whatever is on the ceiling that is torn and in disrepair, the poorly patched and filthy walls. I couldn't stay long enough to photo the disgusting bathroom where there was a single bath towel that looked like it was used to clean at least five car engines before being placed on the bathroom rack. If you like wallowing in filth and don't mind throwing money away, by all means, stay here. Otherwise, there are plenty of other places that won't jeopardize your health. Their positive reviews HAVE to be paid shills. There is NO WAY anyone can genuinely rate this place as "Excellent" and their responses to the negative comments are rude and insulting to the guest instead of responding with any humility or taking any responsibility.
Dilapidated building
Your marked up kitchen appliances. Note the patched and filthy walls and floor.

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

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.

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.
