I aleays stay at the Big Texan! It is fun and quirky. The restaurant is good and their desserts are amazing. Don’t forget the gift shop!

We stayed here for one night passing through on the way home. The room was OK. The pictures make it look much nicer than it actually is. The rooms are pretty dated, felt dirty, and they use keypad locks rather than room keys. The check-in process was very informal. I was handed a card with a code on it for the door. It is a little concerning having those keypad locks rather than a more traditional room lock that most hotels have. We didn’t necessarily feel super safe with that lock type - especially being right next to a highway. The gal who checked us in was fine, but the process for check-in was so quick that it did feel a little like she was trying to get me out of the office as quickly as possible. I also find it strange that they have a sign up stating that they are going to charge you for anything that goes missing in the room. Kind of interesting considering they don’t even take a credit card at check-in. It also makes it feel a bit accusatory toward their customer. It was nice and convenient to be able to stay right next to the restaurant and go have dinner and come back to the room. However, I think this is a one and done stay for us.

Pleasantly surprised would be the best way to describe. I tried to find something negative and joked to my husband that the only one I could find would be the Kleenexes are lackluster. Even the one-ply toilet paper was good! And, yes. I always bring a roll with me and I didn’t need to use it. My husband said the shower was great, as well.

Always great. Only thing I don't care for is we get 10 emails from them about our stay.
2.0 / 5.0
I decided to stay here based pin the high rating and price. We were on our way back from Colorado ad regularly stop for the night in Amarillo.
Pros: Right off I 40
Clean
Quiet
Comfortable bed
Right at Big Texan Restaurant
Cons:
No free breakfast
Big Texan opens at 8 am for breakfast
No other restaurants in walking distance
No outlet at desk for computer
WiFi not secure
With the Cons it was still very good value and will make this my
Place to stop from now on.

this was a really cute little roadside motel. Eclectic. A one time stay. Wouldn’t go back. The toilet was broken, and the beds were kind of rickety. went and ate at the restaurant… Absolutely wonderful. I would eat there again and again and again!

We always stop for only one night in Amarillo when commuting between Oklahoma City and Albuquerque. We thought we would try the Big Texan for a change and it was a delightful change of pace!

The Big Texan was cool and cheap. We had a nice rustic feeling room. It was clean and quiet. We stayed in the back part but the front rooms were decorated super cute. The check in was nice didn’t have to talk to anyone just crash into your room.

Felt dirty and worn out. I’m not the kind of person who needs much from a hotel but feeling clean is at the top of my list. This just didn’t cut it. There was no seal at the bottom of the door so that our room was completely exposed to the outside elements. The ‘saloon’ doors were unnecessary and noisy. With other hotel options so close by I would not choose to stay here again.

All around great value and experience!

I love staying here, but the rooms are getting kinda beat up looking. Only one mug in the room, towels were clean, but frayed. Shower was very slow to drain, so good thing the shower tray had a lip. Had to stop the shower halfway thru, to let water drain, and then continue.
2.5 / 5.0
The stay was great, the bed was really comfortable, and the room was clean. The restaurant thats on site has huge portions so definitely worth the money. My only complaint which is just a small one is that the dog yard is kind of small and then theres 2 big picnic tables and a swing set taking up half the space so it is even smaller. I didnt trust my dogs off leash so it just didnt give much room to walk around and theres literally no normal grass anywhere. But thats my onky complaint. Other than that it was great.

Good one night stay ! Would’ve preferred to be in the front part of the building (we were in the back, pink building nearer the truck parking) but we booked last minute. AC was a bit noisy. That’s our only complaint. LOVED not needing a key or having to check in at the desk!!!!! We would stay there again!!

Tvis is a SUPER cute property on historic route 66 in Texas. I honestly thought it would be cheesy, because it is in a "tourist trap" location. It was beautifully decorated, the room was well equipped and it was perfectly located for travel.

The beds weren’t comfortable. I was there for a week. It was an average motel. Basic. The bathroom was dirty, the sink smelled and when I lifted out the drain I immediately wanted to vomit. The water pressure was the only good thing. The floors weren’t clean, I got there took off my shoes and walked around room in my socks…I shouldn’t have, I should have just kept my shoes on. I ended up checking out after a week and moving to another hotel, as I am working in the area for two months.

So much fun! Loved the rustic decor. The room was very comfortable.
Wall unit heat/ac was very noisy, otherwise an enjoyable stay.
Hopefully your internet/wifi issue got settled.
