We started our Route 66 tour in Amarillo. Filled with excitement, the free limo complete with horns on the front started out great...until the driver supplied waaayyyy too much info about his tragic life...it was a true downer. With our suitcases, cooler etc...there was no help to our room which was far away in a "newer" part and upstairs -... more

While travelling Route 66 and you do not want to stay in a chain motel then thishuge motor court motel is right up your alley. The restaurant will fill you and you will slumber peacefully if you ask for a room away from the highway. Take a dip in the Texas shaped pool. Large comfortable and clean rooms. Fun even... more

We booked and told them we would arrive late as we were riding bikes and had a while to go they said they would hold the rooms but when we got there they had let them go and left us with smoking / pet rooms. The receptionists were rude and unhelpful. The rooms were old and in a state of... more

We booked well in advance and the assistance with the reservation was very professional. We were really anxious to try the hotel and the famous Restaurant but our review for both cannot be extremely positive. The decor of our room (nr. 111) was nice (Texan/western style) but the room was not extremely clean...I found also a couple of holes in... more

We arrived at this place and asked for a non-smoking room. We got a room for smokers but they didn't tell us. Next day we discovered that the sheets and the pillow-cases had holes, most likely produced by one of our smoking predecessors. We informed the reception and they promissed to inform housekeeping. We came back at late afternoon and... more

A visit with my daughter at the last minute. Front desk clerk was very helpful in our requests. My daughter wanted a room in the front building but on our return, I declared a pet and we were sent to the back building. A disappointment for her,but we still had a great time. A great value and a lot of... more

We decided to stay here because my husband and I had eaten at the Texas Steak Ranch 20 years ago on a trip to Amarillo. The hotel, which is just next door, has a very cute, western style, exterior and a Texas shaped pool. Our room had a pleasant/neutral smell. (I'm always afraid of stale smokey smelling rooms, but this... more

We stayed here on a cross country road trip, thinking it would be a fun, kitschy place. It is kitschy, but not really fun--I wouldn't stay here over another cheaper motel. The shower didn't drain, it was gross to be in water past my ankles! Also, the restaurant closes fairly early for dinner for a traveler's place (10:30 pm), and... more

This is the greatest place. It was easy to find. The staff was very friendly. You have a cow hide (like) bedspread, swinging doors to the bathroom area, Texas flag shower curtin, and a shutter to cover the window. The room was very clean. They have a horse hotel for people traveling with horses. They also have a doggy trail... more

I was quite surprised on arrival to be told that before they would let me have the key I would have to pay the full amount for my overnight stop, this should have rung alarm bells but it didnt and we stayed there for one night, it is the most run down dump of a so called hotel you will... more
