Axel's take: 6.8/10
A practical overnight stop, but unreliable facilities weaken the full-service promise. A full-service 3-star near I-40 and Amarillo's medical district, scored for what it is.
This full-service 3-star near I-40 and Amarillo's medical district is a reasonable overnight stop, rather than a hotel we'd choose for its facilities. Recent Expedia guests repeatedly praise clean rooms and friendly staff, while free parking, Tesla charging and proximity to hospitals make it useful for drivers and medical visits. The basics often satisfy; the extras are less dependable.
The concern is recurring disruption: Tripadvisor guests reported elevator failures in December 2025 and June 2026, while Expedia and other guest reviews describe pool closures and unavailable restaurant or bar service. IHG currently advertises the pool as open, but we couldn't confirm that those problems are resolved. Breakfast isn't automatically included, and pets incur a fee. We'd skip it for a pool-focused family stay; travelers needing reliable elevator access should confirm conditions directly before booking.
