An absolute must for Route 66 travellers! A real novelty part of our American road trip and cannot recommend enough. We are a family of five and stayed for one night, going to the restaurant in the evening (best steak my Husbands ever had). The themed rooms are really cool and clean. Staff were great too.

This is a fun place to stop when driving through Amarillo. The steak house next door is always good. Our room was clean and had the basic necessities, and the bed was comfortable. There was a "saloon" door between the bedroom and bathroom area that had a broken latch so that was kind of annoying, having to push half of it open every time to go to the bathroom. We just had a quick overnight stay so we didn't need much. The contactless check-in was easy and convenient.
