3.5
Multiple guests reported stains, grime, worn or discolored linens, and generally poor housekeeping; several reviews explicitly stated cleanliness was lacking.
Service
9
Mixed but frequently positive: front desk staff (notably David) and other team members were praised by guests; however one guest reported an unfriendly general manager during breakfast.
Location
9
Generally described as convenient and ideal for visiting family; one report noted motorcycle noise on a nearby strip (outside hotel control).
Room Quality
8
Many guests described rooms as clean and at least some beds as very comfortable, though there are reports of worn furniture, scuffed walls, and occasional uncomfortable/old bedding—overall generally good with some maintenance issues.
Amenities
8
Positive mention of a social evening with complimentary drinks/snacks; however the pool was reported broken during a stay, so amenities are a mix of good offerings and some downtime.
Value for Money
7.2
Some guests called the stay expensive and felt value was reduced by cleanliness and service problems, while repeat guests still find the property worth returning to—moderate perceived value.
Food and Beverage
3.5
Breakfast service received strong criticism: food served cold, delayed service, and a guest had to microwave food in their room; staff timing and temperature issues harmed this category.
Overall Experience

Mixed overall: several positive points (friendly staff, good location, clean rooms for some guests) but significant negatives around cleanliness, breakfast service, and occasional rude management lead to a moderate overall impression.

Great stay at Hampton Inn Abilene Tx
Pros:

Location is perfect, I have family down the road. I'm here quite frequently and I enjoy the staff. I'm disappointed to here Mai will no longer be here, but I wish her grand adventures wherever she's headed. They've started having a social hour in the evenings on Tues and Wednesday with free beer and Nachos or Frito pie. I enjoyed that. The rooms are always clean. I will be back!!

Pros:

Convenient. Clean.

Cons:

Expensive stay.
Pool was broken the nights/days we stayed.
It’s on a busier Friday night race strip for motorcycles. It quiets down but for about an hour lots of revving. (Out of hotels control-just saying)

Bad experience
Pros:

I was very disappointed with our stay at this property. Based on our experience, the hotel appears to have significant issues with cleanliness, maintenance, and customer service.
The room showed numerous signs of wear and neglect. There were stains on the bedding and linens, damaged furniture, chipped paint, scuffed walls, and several fixtures that appeared old or in need of repair. It looked like maintenance had been put off for quite some time. Whoever is responsible for inspecting and approving rooms before guests check in is not doing a thorough job, because many of these issues should have been noticed and addressed.
The bathroom was especially concerning. There appeared to be grime and buildup around the bathtub and shower, stained surfaces, deteriorating caulking, and worn fixtures. The sink and vanity also looked dated and poorly maintained, making the bathroom feel unclean.
The flooring and carpets were heavily worn, with noticeable stains and discoloration. The sheets felt old, rough, and worn out. They did not feel fresh, and they gave us the impression that they may not have been changed before our arrival. Whether that was actually the case or not, they certainly did not feel clean or comfortable enough to give us confidence in the room's cleanliness.
Breakfast on **July 7, 2026**, was another major disappointment. The food that was supposed to be served hot was cold, and we actually had to take our breakfast back to our room and microwave it ourselves. That is not something guests should have to do.
While we were there, another guest told us he had been waiting in the breakfast area since 5:30 a.m. and that the general manager, who was responsible for preparing breakfast that morning, did not arrive until around 5:45 a.m. As a result, breakfast service was delayed.
Unfortunately, the service only made the experience worse. The general manager was not welcoming or friendly. I never heard her greet any guests with a "good morning." Instead, she came across as rude, had a poor attitude, and gave the impression that she did not want to be there. Hospitality starts with customer service, and this experience fell well below expectations.
Between the poor condition of the room, the cleanliness and maintenance issues, the breakfast experience, and the unfriendly service, this stay was extremely disappointing. We will not be returning to this location, and I hope management takes these concerns seriously by improving housekeeping, room inspections, maintenance, and customer service so future guests have a much better experience

This hotel needs some improvement, and hire better management
Pros:

At times rooms are only half clean with old sheets and comforters, tables still have fingerprints, grease, and leftover food in the fridge. Management is nowhere to be found, and front desk is mischievous. The restrooms have stained towels, but look and smell clean as far as I know. All of the staff ladies or housekeepers seem nice and beautiful, however, it seems like there are a lot of people hanging out or rooms are overcrowded, and loud. SmI seen a lot of cigarette buds outside as well.

Rented room with structural damage, security and safety issues, pests.
Pros:

Worst Hilton property stay - ever! Received a Hilton Hhonors "upgrade", as a Gold member. Checked into assigned room (#208), found doorframe contorted because of structural damage to floor. Cracked floor tile and heaving, resulting in trip hazard. Returned to clerk, to inquire. Staff indicated knew about the damage, placed in room, anyway. Said hotel due for an innovation. Was not placed in another room. Overnight, found bugs crawling in the bathroom. Provided hotel staff in photos, taken on my phone. Complained to GM, who said would restore all Honors points for stay, to my Hilton Honors account. Returned home, found only 2000 of 40,000 points credited to my account. I will not stay at this property again. Complained to Hilton.

Great stay at Hampton Inn Abilene Tx
Pros:

Located right next to the mall and surrounded by restaurants. The front desk staff was great with suggestions on were to go eat. Pamela the GM was very helpful when I needed to extend my reservation due to the icy roads. Breakfast was delicious and the hot coffee was fresh every time I came to get a cup. I will be back.

DONT BOOK HERE
Pros:

I had a really disappointing stay at this Hampton Inn. Breakfast was late every morning by 15–30 minutes, it tasted old, and they served the same thing two days in a row. The front desk supervisor smelled like cannabis, and the rooms were old, smelly, and run down. There was even mold in my room, which made the stay feel unhealthy and unsafe. When I checked out, I had to wait five minutes before the supervisor finally came from the back. Honestly, this building either needs a full renovation or to be demolished and rebuilt. On top of that, this location needs new property management, because they have let a Hilton brand hotel look more like a Super 8 or Motel 6 — definitely not what a Hilton should represent or look like. The only positives were the newer TV in the room and the evening and night staff, who were friendly and helpful. I stayed here back in July and nothing has changed since then.
