Totally adequate for a roadside stop. Especially if you plan to eat at The Big Texan. Nothing else that is walking distance. Motel is old and decor is very basic. But that's some of the charm.

very unique hotel and reasonable rates. Nothing fancy but very clean and convenient. Right off the interstate so a lot of traffic noise but that is not something that can be controlled. Overall a very nice place to stay

Overall, really liked our stay. The ambiance of the room was very unique. There are some maintenance issues that need to be addressed. Some of the metal stair treads going up to the second floor need to be replaced. They are rusted through in spots.

The Big Texan is classic Americana. It’s a true throwback to the motels that made Route 66 special.

The online check in was a big inconvenience because of the poor communication where the room was, poor lighting AND no elevator

BED BUGS

I was bitten HORRIBLY by bed bugs! I called the motel immediately after the bites began to show - and NOTHING was done. I read other reviews. Other guests have been bitten. It’s obviously an ongoing issue. The woman I spoke with to inquire couldn’t have cared less. I stayed in room 116. It was my second stay. The first visit was great. I will likely have permanent scars from bed bug bites I received.

Not impressed

The beds were comfortable enough. There's no elevator so we had to lug heavy luggage up some metal stairs that were rusting out and felt very sketchy. The coffee machine in the room smelled very sour and made the coffee undrinkable.

It has the iconic appeal of the old roadway motels. The chipped paint around the room was a minor detraction the beds were a major one, broken noisy springs in mattress were uncomfortable. The mattress had a major sag from that condition. For a highway traveler, the restful sleep was important.

Didn’t disappoint!!

Our room was very comfortable and clean. We are moving to Nevada and Amarillo was our first night on the road. We’d eaten at the Big Texan Steak Ranch before so we decided to try the motel. We were definitely impressed.
