Pros

Western architectural design reflecting 1800s aesthetics

Group reception services available in the lobby

On-site Big Texan Brewery

Route 66 and Texas products available in the gift shop

Cons

“If you seek a distinctive Texan experience, this motel delivers with its old-West town ambiance. The proximity to the Big Texan Steak Ranch is a definite advantage, and the seasonal outdoor pool adds to the recreational appeal. While some may find the water pressure a bit intense, the clean, comfortable rooms and pet-friendly options make it a worthwhile stay for families and those passing through Amarillo.”
