We stayed here for one night after seeing the motel on numerous tv shows in england. The room was nice and cowboy themed. the wifi worked well and the motel is right off the freeway and impossible to miss. The Big texan steak ranch next door gave us a decent nights entertainment and plenty of photos

I'm on a road trip to the Northwest. It's close to the highway, a "famous" restaurant, and takes pets. Honestly, it looked a little creepy, so I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, it's a bit old inside, but it was clean and functional.

Don't ask for the smoking room - terrible internet connection. Apparently Smokers have to be placed in the back - with no or very poor internet connection. But apart from that - fun .. Kind of kitch. Convenient to the restaurant. But ask for the non-smoking - and go outside on the porch and smoke. If we ever come back,... More

We were looking for an authentic cowboy experience on Route 66 and this hotel definitely fit the bill. It was far better than we expected. The rooms were very cowboy and nicely decorated. Our room was tastefully done and clean, with good amenities. The hotel is part of a complex including The Big Texan Restaurant - well worth experiencing too!... More

We, a party of 4, stayed here for a night. We asked for 2 connecting rooms, and there was no problem to get that. Staff at the check-in was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean but the shower in one of the 2 rooms didn't really work. Fortunately we had 2 connecting rooms... Besides that, the rooms we... More

Needed a hotel that was pet friendly and we thought we would try the Big Texan Motel this time through Amarillo. We stoped at the office to check in and find no non-smoking rooms available. They only have pet friendly smoking rooms and the won't even give a discount. So for a whopping $95 you get one of the worst... More

Stayed here after a long drive from Houston and whilst the staff were very friendly the rooms were very outdated. It was clean enough and looked pretty from the outside and as it was only for 1 night we were not too choosy. Obviously very good for the restaurant but thats another story and will review that on its own.... More

Stayed here after a long drive in from Colorado. While on the outside the decor looks charming, my 'non smoking' room reeked of old smoke and even had cigarette burns on the fiberglass tub. The a/c-heating unit was very old, and the lampshades were stained. I just felt like the place wasn't clean so I didn't take my shoes off... More

It seems to us like Amarillo is a tough place to find a good hotel or we have just been unlucky. Last month we stayed at La Kiva and it was terrible. So this time we decided to try the Big Texan. This is the place of course, where they have the big restaurant and advertise the 72 ounce steak... More

Clean Motel - Heat/AC Units are from the Dark Ages. Ours didn't work well. More of a trucker type place to stay but convienient to Hwy and Big Texan Restaurant. So-so motel for a moderately cheap price. One part of this motel takes pets, so a big plus for dog owners. Entire place is clean and service is friendly.
