Motel information
You are NOT required to stay at the ones listed. These are just the two I stayed during my trip in 2010. There are many motels/hotels to choose from all ranging from $50-$130. Keep in mind if you have AAA pricing is typically cheaper.
Shamrock Texas
Western Motel(22 units)
66(business 40)/83 intersection
104 East 12th
Shamrock Texas 79079
806-256-3244
Cost as of 2010 for 2: $63 and some change
Across from the Conoco Tower on 66. Motel offers wifi and the rooms come equipped with cable color tv, microwave, fridge, and A/C. We had a pleasent experience and the staff were very friendly. Being across from the Conoco tower was an added bonus especially at night time. I put this Motel as a top choice for the trip and on a scale of 1-10 it ranks as a 10.
Amarillo
Big Texan Motel
7701 I-40 East
Amarillo Tx 79118
806-372-5000
Cost: $80.50
Big Texan: Home of the FREE 72 oz. Steak
Located along the highway the motel offers cable, color tv, cow print bed spread, wood furniture, wood shutters, motel looks like an old west town, and pool in the shape of Texas. Located across the parking lot is the Big Texan Steak Ranch(home of the free 72oz steak). Staff was friendly and helpful at both the motel and resturant. This motel on a scale of 1-10 is respectfully ranked at a 8.
I will be contacting the owners/managers at both locations to see if we can get some kind of group discount.
