Clean and comfortable rooms, cold AC, right off the highway and just minutes to the airport, plus a 30-second walk to their amazing steakhouse. Highly, highly recommended. And the woman working the front desk could not have been nicer. She was very pleasant and immediately made me feel like an old friend. I’m already booking my next stay here.

Nice room, a bit noisy outside but that is to be expected
The rooms are so cute and themed, and the staff is absolutely amazing. This was probably my favorite stay on my cross country trip!

They encourage graffiti on the room door, which detracts from the western decor of the room and makes the room feel grungy. The bathroom, while I don’t mind something dated, it was beyond that: water leaking in the tub, water scale on the shower wall, toilet seat worn down to the wood. I chose not to use the shower. Bedspread was stained and old. The whole place needed sprucing up. The Big Texan was a great place back in the day, but feels like it’s riding on its reputation now.
It was a bed to sleep in, but I can't recommend for cleanliness. Stained walls, floors, and walls, bathtub shower was in poor condition with mold, leaks, and rust. The amenities, coffee pot, ice bucket, hair dryer looked as if
This was a fun stop on our cross country road trip. Unfortunately we did not get in until 3am and we did not get to enjoy it fully, but we hope to stay again.

The room was clean and comfortable enough. We found out late that our TV wasn’t working. The walls are thin and could hear the person next door until midnight. The road noise is very loud.
