Quote:
This place is very clean and even though it looks new, it is undergoing renovations. The rooms include a couch, coffee table, desk and chair, two phones, and TV with cable with movie channels like HBO. The beds are very comfortable. There is FREE wireless internet connection at this hotel. If your wireless card does not work, you can "check out" a wireless bridge from the front desk for your stay. I used it every day during my one-week stay with ease. There is a nice size indoor pool and hot tub just past the lobby. The new exercise facility is excellent and has TV. The hotel is across from the Mall of Abilene for convenient shopping and restaurants. It's close to the only Starbu...Read More

Ta Molly's Mexican Restaurant Best of IgoUgo

Restaurant | "Ta Molly's"

Quote:
This place serves some of the best Mexican food in Texas. The chips are light and crispy, not greasy. The hot sauce is flavorful. Each person is served hot sauce in their own saucer. The meals are extremely filling and very, very good. The food quality is consistent. The establishment does not serve beer or alcoholic beverages. This is a memorable place with a nice atmosphere.

Air Show Best of IgoUgo

Attraction

Cargo Plane Photo - Air Show, Abilene, Texas
Quote:
This was an exclusive air show with a low number of spectators. You can get up close and personal with everything, including pilots, planes, helicopters, etc. I've been to air shows where the sound systems were poor and the people were shoulder to shoulder. This was totally amazing. We were able to walk up all day to the fence on the flight line to see the show. You could go inside several of the planes to see the instrumentation, etc. It was very interesting. The wireless sound (PA) system, music, pyrotechnics, etc. were very impressive. We saw lots of planes. The show typically starts at 10am and ends at 4pm.
