If you want luxury accomodations, this is not the place. If you want a faux Route 66 expericence with modern accomodations, this is not the place. If you want the genuine thing, this is it. The Cactus Inn will transport you back in time to the heyday of Route 66.. It is a classic motor court style motel. You pull... More

The Cactus Inn is one of those restored, clean, nice places to stop on Route 66. While it wasn't an experience like the Blue Swallow in Tucumcari, it was very pleasant, and the owner was very welcoming and enjoyable. The room was fine and nicely done. I would say most chain motels could take a lesson from these folks on... More

I stayed here on a route 66 road trip. The welcome from the owner Peggy was a really good start. There is so much charm in these old style motels when compared with the identikit offering from the chain motels. The place is beautifully furnished and very comfortable, showing the hands of a very caring owner. A plus is that... More

We try to stay at the Cactus Inn when we travel I40, this is our third visit - as always, our room was clean, comfortable, and what you hope for in a vintage motel, including price. The only thing which marred our visit this trip was the noise from two "gentlemen" in the room next door - who banged and... More

great place to sleep on route 66. Clean and friendly place. Wireless was working very fine. Dont expect a new motel, it is a bit outdated, but everything worked well. I would stay again in Cactus Inn.

I know I reviewed the Cactus Inn less than a year ago but I just have another enjoyable stay and decided it deserved another vote of confidence. This place is exactly what a good independent motel should be. I believe it will fit in with just about everybody's idea of a good Route 66 experience.

Stayed here the latter part of July on the way out west. I've stayed here before and the rooms are clean, comfortable, and the air conditioning was decent. Just as the past visit the owners were great and very friendly. This is an older original Route 66 Motel and is well worth staying at. It is very quite and actually... More

I determined to stay here after reading reviews and was not disappointed. I got a big, clean room with a good air conditioner AND a fan for added circulation. I love these old places; beats the heck out of most chains.

The Cactus Inn is on the west side of old Route 66 in the quaint town of McLean, Texas and has all a classic motor court should have for a very fair price (I think we spent about 55 $ for a double bed). We visited during our Route 66 trip in May of 2012. Rooms are quite spacious and... More
