The Big Texan Motel

I always enjoy staying here

What a cute and fun setting. The rooms were clean. Only recommendation is to use a dust mop on the metal wall coverings at the head of the beds. Hard to see when light outside, but pretty dusty. This did not effect our nice stay. We would recommend to others and would stay again, if in the area.

The room was clan and had no order. Plenty of towels for two. Comfortable and quiet. The shower was awesome.

Texan flamboyant glam in designs, outside friendliness.

Rooms are decorated in a 1960s style decor. Room was fine for the price. The hotel is right off the interstate so you get lots of road noise.

The suite was great, comfortable, clean, and had a charming rustic vibe!

Nice and pet friendly. Perfectly located for late travel arrival

Being part of The Big Texan has its perks steak and a brewery next door (if you like dessert, the cake slices like everything else in Texas are huge). All of the staff are friendly. Bring some earbuds if you’re a light sleeper as you’re right on the i40 (traffic is all day / night). All in all, a really enjoyable experience. Lots to do around Amarillo. Would highly recommend.

Great experience! Really enjoyed our stay.

Roms are fun. Restaurant is fun.

Absolutely amazing place to stay! The history, the wood work, atmosphere, incredible.

Clean comfortable room, completed contactless check in easily. Communication via text was very good. Dinner at the Big Texan and a short walk to the room.

The bathroom was tiny. I hot excited as there was a jacuzzi bath, but it didn't work. The grouping around the bath needed renewing too. Other than that. It was a great place to stay

The room was very clean and we loved the affordability & pet friendly with a nice little convenient dog park! We went to the bar and had late snacks and a cocktail and walked to our room! We will be back! (If we could make a couple of suggestions….the saloon doors to the bathroom area were extremely squeaky but we loved their look… and a night light in the vanity area would be amazing!)

Somewhat of a fun motel along Route 66. The inside of the room door many travelers from around the world signed their name and the town/state/country where they were from. The room had a western decor. The bed was comfortable and the room was set back from the street which reduce the road noise.

I liked that this motel offered keyless entry so that we didn't have to check in or out.

Room felt dirty due to stained carpet. Bedding was thin and coming apart with strings everywhere.

Nice place to stay for the night

Cute western style hotel, it is dated, but everything works. love The details, love the ability to walk to the big texan restaurant, wish they had a discount if you stayed there. The room was clean. The beds were comfortable. The shower had great pressure. And the windows had barn doors instead of curtains.

It was old so could use deep clean. Outside was not very clean.

It was a very clean Hotel and right next door to The Big Texan Steakhouse. Which was also excellent. It was really convenient to be able to walk next door and relax for the night. The rooms were a nice size and the bathroom was very spacious. The shower was awesome. I would definitely recommend this hotel. I booked from Hotels.com for $90 for one night.

Fun atmosphere and nicely done rooms. Resteraunt and gift shop were excellent as well.

Always enjoy our stay at the big Texan!

We love staying here is conveniently located from the Big Texan restaurant. It’s a yearly tradition to stop on our way home from Colorado.

The dog parties too small but everything else about this motel was fabulous!

Miss Dee is awesome and made sure we had everything we needed!

Not

Highly recommended!

Rooms are nice! We Love the atmosphere.

This is our go you place when we travel home every year.

Clean room great overall stay

We stayed in the back rooms toward the horse stables. The room was decent but restrooms were very small and outdated. The shower tub was scarey

Unique decor. Slight odour. Swinging door in room was really noisy and inconvenient. Bed comfortable. Close to Big Texan Steakhouse.

Great we love it

It’s overpriced just to be next to the steakhouse, but Everthing about Big Texan is overpriced. But it is fun & Awesome to see. There are no amenities except fridge. The lady at front desk was super nice & helpful!

The staff had already made arrangements for an accessible room for us as we had been there the week before. The room had character representing cowboys.

The staff went above and beyond to help us. She moved us to more accessible room and was very pleasant to people who had called in. When we called about the shower leaking, she submitted the request to the maintenance.

The room was clean. The decor was rustic western but nothing exciting. Bed slept well, pillows were thin. House keeping staff is very good and helpful.

I liked the old west feeling of the decor and the swinging doors for the bathroom area. Felt like a western cowboy Saloon. Shower had nice high pressure and we had plenty of towels for the stay. Rooms were surprisingly quiet. There were no rooms available with a King size bed. Beds were adequate for the night.

Clean but hard bed

We were towards the back of the property in a pet friendly room. Where there was some grass and fence there was a lot of garbage as well as around the parking lot. The wind was blowing a bit but it made the outside very unappealing. Pool was closed but I would not have used it anyway. It looked ok but not what was shown in pictures. Dog area ok but a bit of poo around. I think if you have a pet relief area have a doggie station with bags and garbage. Maybe some people will be courteous to pick up. Coffee was ok. No closets which didn’t really matter to me, but surprised that they didn’t have a luggage rack for suitcase. There were coat hooks which was sufficient for me. The room was very spacious and had plenty of room, clean, comfortable & uniquely decorated which is why I gave it 4 stars. Steak from the Big Texan restaurant was excellent. In

Cute themed western room. Comfy bed. Had dinner at the big Texan and the mail was wonderful.

Quiet, amenities were good. Needs some update

Had a nice stay. The room was clean and roomy. Staff was kind and helpful.

We witnessed another guest complaining about her room and receiving little more than a dismissive apology. There was also no staff in the front office overnight or early the next morning. Looking back, we should have cut our losses and gone somewhere else rather than stay. Between the cleanliness issues, outdated decor, lack of privacy, and poor overall condition, this hotel fell far short of expectations. I would not recommend this hotel and would not stay here again.

clean room. Fun experience. Enjoyed the combination of the Steakhouse and stay.

The rooms are always clean. The staff are always helpful and welcoming.

The front desk was very helpful. The room was cleaning having the 72oz restaurant

Perfect stop with my pets.

Clean room, but use Expedia ! Saved 95$!

Very fast check in. Convenient off the freeway. Room was spacious with fun decor.

The room was clean and had a delightful western vibe. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location and restaurant add to the value. As a senior who requested a lower floor I was not a fan of need to drag my bad knees and my bag up metal stairs.

The reception staff was great. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Their restaurant next door was great.

Great property and restaurant

Overall, a good stay for one night. Rooms are a little dated, but they were clean. Could use a little upgrading and no amenities available.

Good overnight place

Poor lighting in room for older people. Old western decor but room could still be cleaner.

Our room was great! It was clean and was comfortable. The character of the room and the decor was fun. However, my meal at the Big Texan Restaurant was not so good. I ordered a Ribeye steak and received a poor quality sirloin instead. It was the toughest and hardest to chew steak I’ve ever had, and the steak had poor flavor.

Whenever I book a motel that doesn’t belong to a “motel chain”, the first thing I wonder is whether there will be any water pressure… the Big Texan Motel gets 5 stars for water pressure! Thank you for the nice accommodations

Very

O

Very nice! It was very clean, and the person who checked us in was super friendly. The door being a “guestbook” was a fun touch!

You can't help but smile as soon as you drive on to the property. This is the perfect quirky property! The rooms were very well decorated for the theme.

Bigger room and better than last time we stayed.

Unique place, nothing fancy but clean and comfortable

Unique property but not worth the money for motel or restaurant. Very expensive for steaks but have had better at Texas Roadhouse.

The front desk staff was very welcoming and helpful, even offering bandages for a minor injury. As for the room, the beds and pillows were comfortable, the Keurig coffee maker was much better than others we encounter, and there was plenty of regular coffee for more than one cup. All the amenities were well placed and thought out, and it was clear that this motel room had been recently updated, with nice flooring and paneling. I would definitely stay there again!

Tub faucet leaked constantly. Cleans of tub surround needs attention

Nice place to stay for the night. Nice restaurant and gift shop on the property.

Cool room and excellent restaurant. Would definitely stay there again.

The room was great. Need a hose for the horse stalls since it was flooded around the hydrant made it tough to get the water

The room was very clean, so was the property. The staff was friendly.

Not enough hand towels in room. Mattresses were dated. The shower was clogged. No hotel parking during check in. Number lock system was dated.

Nothing 1. Room wasn't cleaned. 2. Linens and towels and bedding were wore out. 3. Had to hold the toilet seat up to go to the bathroom 4. Room window was broke (glass) Safety and security risk Bathroom sink was cracked, Refrigerator was dented, dirty and functioned questionably. Walls were unsanitary. Drain stoppers were missing in the sink and bathtub. 5. Bed was old and worn. 6. Heater/AC unit in room was very loud. Traffic and people outside could be heard and loud. 7. Complained to Office about conditions and was told "Nothing could be done". This was a total dive. 8. Told the motel office manager this was not a $217 room. They said "Well, that's was not what we got from Booking.com". 9. I checked out the same day I checked in.

I liked that they had nice washers and dryers to use.

Loved the character - very helpful front desk

For a fun and unique experience this is it! We loved the colorful facade and couldn’t resist going next door and trying the restaurant even tho there was a a two hour wait (it ended up being maybe an hour). Excellent meal, decor, and enjoyed Elvis singing us some Merle . Loved the Horse Hotel-got to see some real cowboys unloading their horses for the night. Only complaint is maybe update bathroom floor and larger lamp for better lighting.

No fault of the hotel, but if you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs. Traffic on 40 runs ALL night and can be loud.

Have stayed here several times and it’s always entertaining! Pure Route 66 roadside attraction! Nice clean rooms that play up the cowboy theme

Pretty standard roadside motel. I don’t know if those are typically $167/nt. Maybe they are. 2 conditioners, no shampoo or lotion. Loud by the Interstate. Meh.

Nice staff clean and comfortable rooms for a one night stopover

👍👍

Perfect

Comfortable clean room with a fun decor. Very friendly staff and beautifully maintained property.

Convenience of good location,good beer and a good steak.

Was not up to hype

Funky western atmosphere.

Location The western theme while interesting was very dated

Perfect, clean room and only a skip across the car park for great food

Bed was very uncomfortable.

Third time staying here and well worth the price. Rooms are clean and cozy with great theming. Short walk across a parking lot to the restaurant. Will definitely be staying here any time I’m in Amarillo.

Cute place, staff is great, room had a stocked coffee bar.

The place was just great, really a roadside americana and a hotel together, I took lots of pictures. Unique, but also clean and comfortable. I hope to be back! There is no 24 hours reception, which was surprising for a hotel of this size and on a freeway. They should have 24 hours lobby open. When we arrived we could not find the room even if we had prearranged our arrival, then we discovered it was in a separate building. There was another family there also searching for their room like us. When we finally found it we loved it though.

It was a fun room! Liked the ambiance. Bed was comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfortable and the room was quaint. It was close to restaurants.

Great place to stay. Come thru from KC to El Paso a couple times a year and it’s about half way. Good place to a stay over and grab a bite to eat.

All good. Will plan on staying here again if opportunity arrives

Staff was great, room was very clean and comfortable. Fun theme and liked the easy walk to the restaurant. Sadly the pool was closed while we were there.

The design of the entire property is quite over-the-top Cowboy-ish, and the best amenity is the Bix Texan Steak Ranch next door. The room interior is thoughtfully designed and decorated, too. The shower is great. The windows are not entirely shut so you can still peek through the cracks

WiFi was not working so the tv didn’t not work most of the evening.

Mostly everything

I always enjoy staying at the Big Texan and having dinner at the restaurant. My only complaint is the shower head was very nice but not water efficient. I am surprised a motel of 54 separate rooms don't use reduce water shower heads.

Clean and more interesting than your typical name brand hotel. Could use some maintenance. The faucet in the bathroom ran constantly. The toilet rocked and one of the chairs was wobbly. On the other hand, there was a table AND a big desk. Comfortable beds and they allow pets !

Room was clean and ready when we arrived. Walkable to The Big Texan Steak House for dinner.

Just stayed overnight, so didn't really interact with much staff or use amenities. I did eat at the restaurant. We wish they ha better coffee/creamer options and also side items. Surprised they don't offer dinner rolls etc..

Right next to The Big Texas Restaurant which was handy. . Western theme rooms. The hotel was a bit worn but fit with the Western theme. We got a text telling us our room number and key code so easy check in but no interaction with the office.

Dee!! She changed dates at the last minute for us so we could get through Amarillo before the storms hit! Awesome! Caulk was pretty gross in bathroom..easy fix

Overall our whole experience was awesome! Im a big fan of a digital check in and check out. The process was smooth and we had no issues. Loved our room! We planned on eating at the Big Texan for dinner so it was a no brainer to get a room there as well and not have to mess with going anywhere else. We unloaded our things to the room and walked a few feet over to the restaurant for dinner. The room was very clean and plenty of room! We loved the different theme of the rooms. Will for sure be back!

Traveling through for 1st time to a wedding and had to stop and stay at this classic historical haunt. Fun place to land for the night on our drive through and experience the hotel and the restaurant with all of its "stuff".

Didn't like the extreme price increase. Have stayed here many times, but unless you drop the price, I will book the hotel behind you.

I always love staying at the Big Texan. For a deluxe room and price , it's not much different from the lower price room, in fact they are the same. Not worth paying $161.

Having to wait for 20 minutes to check in strictly

We have stayed here twice and we love the simple atmosphere with the restaurant being so close.

There was nothing special about my room. The room was unimpressive. It didn't feel as clean as it could've been. The shower was inadequate and dripped all night long.

Repeat customer due to location and rooms

I like the concept of the rooms but they could use a little updating

The 1950s - 1960s atmosphere is just what we were looking for! The cowboy theme, vintage look, and proximity to the Big Texan Steak Ranch were excellent. A perfect stop after visiting the Buddy Holly Museum in Lubbock and driving through the panhandle of Texas! Highway noise.

No elevator.

So close yo everything, super clean and the staff were all amazing We liked it all

Great location, facilities and check in services. No issues

This was a fun hotel! It was clean and comfortable, a unique place to stay!

Very good
