  • Exploring An Abandoned Motel In Texas. On our Summer trip, we took a day to go out to Abilene, TX. Along our route we discovered this overgrown, vandalized, and long abandoned motel. I personally really wanted to check this out. I hope you enjoy. Note: as urban explorers we explore places with respect. We don't take anything nor leave anything but footprints. We just took our photos/video and left the place the way we found it. We do not condone vandalism.

    That would have been a 6 on that one room. And the office had the feel of living quarters. Would have been really cute in the day.

    “When something ain’t working right, you smack it.” Haha! My parents had a TV that you had to smack to get it working again. 😆😆😆.
    Good find, good find! The huge blue bathroom looks like something out of the 50s-60s. I could be wrong.

    It probably was a nice motel for a room for the night in its heyday. That place has really fallen into disarray and its all grown out too. Wonder what that trailer was doing there? Maybe it was owner's house at one point?

    Seems like there was a fair amount of work relatively recently-almost all the doors and the sills look fairly new, new walls in some places, there’s almost no graffiti on the building at all and the exterior paint looks recent, and there’s all sorts of brickwork that looks fairly intact; that back area may have been a pool area ot like you said, a patio area.

    10:40 That was actually a 6 because the top end part is finished and painted and the middle and lower end parts are broken off and there is a silhouette gray haze of the completed 6 on the door itself. :)

    Must've been abandoned 20 or so years ago, the doors still have actual key locks & not a key card system like most motels have now a days. Most motels switch to key card systems by the mid 90's to early 2000's.

Long boarded up and so badly overgrown there was no way too see it aside from the road. All that ever sat there for longest time was construction machinery when state highway was being worked on. I went by Saturday and noticed demolished and overgrowth still showed signs of recent cutting.

Still some other abandoned spots good for shooting. Including probably the only Whittmark still standing. Owner refuses too budge and is fighting having it demolished though building is falling apart.

Or is that an act? I love this video it was epic! I’m sad you couldn’t get in the trailer to see but, I understand why you didn’t. Also when’s re you coming to California we have malls and Kmarts for you to explore damn it lol 😂 take care Wallieb26 and Kaylab26 I hope 🤞 there’s another video soon I always look forward to them!
