It seems to us like Amarillo is a tough place to find a good hotel or we have just been unlucky. Last month we stayed at La Kiva and it was terrible. So this time we decided to try the Big Texan. This is the place of course, where they have the big restaurant and advertise the 72 ounce steak... More

Clean Motel - Heat/AC Units are from the Dark Ages. Ours didn't work well. More of a trucker type place to stay but convienient to Hwy and Big Texan Restaurant. So-so motel for a moderately cheap price. One part of this motel takes pets, so a big plus for dog owners. Entire place is clean and service is friendly. More

We stayed there while visiting relatives over the holidays and enjoyed it very much. A couple thoughts on the rooms...the newer building in the back has much nicer rooms, which may explain why some reviewers thought the rooms were bad and others liked them. It is also further away from the highway. The rooms are decked out in a faux-old... More

Prices were good, room was clean. The heater was a little cold, but not too bad. The big attraction was the restaurant next door. I had a giant TBone steak and drank some great draft beers. More

No wireless even though it was advertised, and we were not put in the main building with the cool tacky rooms, instead we were put in a building called the "Alamo" which was ok, but not like the pictures. They had to send a guy from maintenance to replace the TV remote, which was missing, and it took him 15... More

Stopped here along my Route 66 trip - it's just off I-40\Route 66 anyway so you wont miss it! Really liked the room - it even had one of those cowboy swing doors into the toilet area :) Bed was comfortable and big - the outside of these rooms are coloured so our 2 kids loved this and wanted the...

I was on a cross country trip and wanted to eat at the Big Texan anyway. The room was nice and clean. Everything inside my room looked new. More

If you are going through Amarillo - this is THE place to stay. Simple, clean and very nice staff. Had a great sleep and really enjoyed the restaurant next door. This is a piece of Americana from the past - located on Route 66 - you will get the experience of 50 years ago but without worrying that the place... More

Driving route 66. The Big Texan Motel is a fun place to stay. The room was clean and comfortable but a little tired. Loved the cowboy decor. Steak in the restaurant was excellent and the atmosphere was great. Breakfast was a bit disappointing. $9.95 buffet (reduced by $2 for motel guests) did not include juice or coffee at $1.79 each...

I had an enjoyable stay at the Big Texan Motel in May 2011. It was something different on my Route 66 tour, and gives you a bit of a feel of Old Texas. I don't think it's worth spending more than just 1 night, as there isn't much to do. If you are going to be staying there, make sure... More
