This place is amazing - heck the swimming pool is shaped like Texas!!!! How many places have that. The steakhouse is as cowboy-western as you can get with the friendliest wait staff I have ever encountered. They even have a 3 piece band come by and play western songs at your table. The hotel is impossible to describe - you... more

My husband and I stayed here for one night and loved this place. The Big Texan is cowboy-themed. If you are not a fan of kitsch this might not be your thing, but we thought it was great fun. The exterior of the saloons is like a Western town - they are also painted in very bright colours. Inside the... more

We had a great stay at the motel and thoroughly enjoyed the meals at "the great texan steakhouse" The rooms are clean--have good value and are unique in their own special way (eg: the cowboy decor) If you want the top hotels chain--keep going but this is a fun place to stay. The restaurant is much fun with a singing... more

The Big Texan (and Amarillo, Texas) is probably the most worthwhile destination I have ever been to in my whole life! A truly exotic place--not watered down and inauthentic like many tourist destinations. What traveling should be but usually isn't. Awesome! Definitely go here, you won't regret it! I felt that it was safe and clean, but that said I... more

We stayed at the Big Texan Motel in January 2009. We took a double room, two beds for $65 + $9.75 tax, total for one night $74.75. The hotel is located next to the Big Texan Steak Ranch Restaurant. If there is a queue at the restaurant, they will give you a 'light locator' (or whatever is the name for... more

We just wanted to stay here and eat at the Big Texan. The next morning we booked for a second night. The supper was great with troubadors serenading the tables. They know all the songs. We had the 12 oz steaks. The room clerk gives a coupon for breakfast in the morning. The motel room had a definite Texas theme.... more

This motel is all a bit of fun really. As I walked in to the room I could see a definite cowboy theme. Cow hide throw on the bed, saloon doors into the bathroom, Texan flag for a shower curtain. Which was all a bit tiered and dusty. The bathroom was dull and dinggie and the toilet was hanging off... more

A good fun place to stay - after a few days travelling across Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma you're kind of ready for something a bit different and daft - and the Big Texan provides that by the bucketload! At one point I found myself sitting in the Steakhouse next door to the motel drinking beer from a purple plastic boot... more

We stopped over at the Big Texan during a cross country road trip (we had seen signs for it from by the interstate roadside from Oklahoma!) and were not let down by it. First up – if you used / wanting to stay in chain motels, where everything is nice and new and clean and sterile, then the Big Texan... more
