A regular La Quinta customer, I was sorely disappointed by the condition of this hotel. The bathroom floor was filthy and remained that way for two days. The bathroom door did not close properly. The bathroom fan was inoperative as were several light switches. The rooms were tiny. And ... to top it off ... we received only 3 towels each night even though I clearly booked the reservations indicating a family stay with four people.

It was just a real lousy experience and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

We drive through Amarillo several times a year and this is the hotel we will stay at from now on - best value, safety and convenience for the price out of the three mid-priced hotels we've tried.

We stayed in one of the two suites at this hotel over Memorial Day weekend. (We have started using La Quinta because we have two small dogs and were distressed to see other hotels have started charging exorbitant fees for pets.) The suite was large, clean, and comfortable.

The hotel was quiet and safe. It is right off of I-40. There are basic restaurants close by - a Denny's and a Wendy's right next door. The steakhouse that is the 'home of the free 72 ounce steak' is just four miles away..

Check-in and check-out were quick and efficient. We had a housekeeping issue that was quickly and sympathetically resolved. Breakfast was substantial.

Small details, like the phone in the bedroom having no cord, and boxes blocking the route through the door when we were packing to leave, are the only reason I did not rate this five stars.

We will never stay at another La Quinta anywhere after they raised their price $41 on a holiday weekend when a convention was in town and told us that was why they raised it. All the reasonable motels had only smoking rooms or single beds available so we were forced to stay at La Quinta. The other motels were not raising their prices. We had stayed at another motel in Amarillo three weeks earlier that was a suite and so much nicer for $27 less than what we had to pay at the La Quinta. When we took showers at the La Quinta, we all noticed that the water smelled like sewer water and the bottom of the tub was brown. It was not even worth the regular price, and especially not worth the price they were charging for convention weekend.

I have stayed at this hotel now three times over the past four years and find the accomodations and the staff good. They have a wonderful breakfast and probably one of the best prices in town. Will definitely stay here every time I pass through.
