Axel's take: 4.9/10
Convenient for a stopover, but recurring cleanliness problems make this a risky budget pick. An older budget motel off I-40, now branded Travelodge, scored for what it is.
This is an older, exterior-corridor budget motel, not a full-service 3-star hotel. Wyndham now lists the same address as Travelodge by Wyndham Amarillo West Medical Center. Its practical strengths are easy I-40 access, nearby hospitals and restaurants, free parking, and pet-friendly rooms. Expedia and Trip.com guests often praise welcoming staff, and some report comfortable beds and clean rooms. Still, we'd treat it as a fallback rather than a dependable stopover.
Cleanliness and maintenance are the sticking points: Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly describe dirty bathrooms, stained bedding, odors, and broken room basics. Management confirmed property-wide renovations in February 2026; later guests still mention unfinished repairs, so check the current construction status before booking. Breakfast gets mixed feedback, and pets cost extra. We'd skip it for families or medical visits where reliable cleanliness and rest matter most.
