this was a really cute little roadside motel. Eclectic. A one time stay. Wouldn’t go back. The toilet was broken, and the beds were kind of rickety. went and ate at the restaurant… Absolutely wonderful. I would eat there again and again and again!

Change of Pace
We always stop for only one night in Amarillo when commuting between Oklahoma City and Albuquerque. We thought we would try the Big Texan for a change and it was a delightful change of pace!

Rustic but clean
The Big Texan was cool and cheap. We had a nice rustic feeling room. It was clean and quiet. We stayed in the back part but the front rooms were decorated super cute. The check in was nice didn’t have to talk to anyone just crash into your room.

Worn out and dirty
Felt dirty and worn out. I’m not the kind of person who needs much from a hotel but feeling clean is at the top of my list. This just didn’t cut it. There was no seal at the bottom of the door so that our room was completely exposed to the outside elements. The ‘saloon’ doors were unnecessary and noisy. With other hotel options so close by I would not choose to stay here again.

I love staying here, but the rooms are getting kinda beat up looking. Only one mug in the room, towels were clean, but frayed. Shower was very slow to drain, so good thing the shower tray had a lip. Had to stop the shower halfway thru, to let water drain, and then continue.

Comfortable stay
The stay was great, the bed was really comfortable, and the room was clean. The restaurant thats on site has huge portions so definitely worth the money. My only complaint which is just a small one is that the dog yard is kind of small and then theres 2 big picnic tables and a swing set taking up half the space so it is even smaller. I didnt trust my dogs off leash so it just didnt give much room to walk around and theres literally no normal grass anywhere. But thats my onky complaint. Other than that it was great.

Good short stay!
Good one night stay ! Would’ve preferred to be in the front part of the building (we were in the back, pink building nearer the truck parking) but we booked last minute. AC was a bit noisy. That’s our only complaint. LOVED not needing a key or having to check in at the desk!!!!! We would stay there again!!
