Super 8 Amarillo/Central

If this had been my first experience at a Super 8, I would never book another one. To begin with the following is my opinion of this hotel.
The front desk attendant was curt and rude. She was not friendly AT ALL. I could have endured this but the room was not clean. To begin with it was a smoking room and the window was so thick with tar that you couldn’t see out of it. The sheets were thin, stained and had what appeared to be snot on the pillow case. Security lock was broken off the door and the fire detector inoperable. The bathroom was awful.
This is definitely not a non-​smoking facility. Rooms wreaked of smoke everywhere including the breakfast room where people were actually smoking.
I can’t understand why Wyndham keeps this hotel in their system. In my opinion, I’ll think twice before I book another Wyndham property.

This hotel is cheap and clean. Breakfast buffet had a choice of waffles, cereal, scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy and various fruit, yogurt and breads. Coffee was tasty and staff friendly. The rooms aren’t extraordinary but they are clean. Make sure your door closes completely. Park in the front if you can. We couldn’t get the back entry door to work with our room key. We would stay again.

Put me in a smoking room and would not change the reservation even tho they had non smoking available.
Room had spilt coffee counter and soap scum all over bathroom and a broken screen out the window.
Terrible service

If you JUST need a cheap place to sleep, I guess this place would suffice. It’s dark and dreary, run down, ice machine has mold and build up on it, carpets are dirty. The bathroom was meh clean, the beds seemed clean enough, nice tv. IF YOU NEED OR WANT WIFI, this will not work for you. The laundry facilities are a joke. I spent 4 $ to get my clothes back smelling better but still dirty. This place made me feel dirty. The element of people that are here staying at the motel are well… Let’s just say suitable for this motel… Seems like a bad. ish neighborhood. If you’re looking to relax and have a nice stay, this place is not for you.

Reasonably priced, friendly staff and pretty clean rooms but the walls and bathrooms need to be patched and fixed. My only complaint is if your offering wifi that it actually works.

People are too harsh on budget accommodation reviews. Amarillo is one long strip of hotels and eateries so there are tons of hotels to choose from. We picked the Super 8 because it’s a budget, pet friendly hotel. It looked a bit sketchy pulling up, but I was pleasantly surprised with our room, the front desk area and the friendly man who checked us in. Our room had a nice king bed, and it was clean and well decorated. Breakfast was also good with biscuits, gravy, eggs, cereal, yogurt, oatmeal packets, etc.

I have to say that I’m a bit surprised at the low star rating others have posted for this hotel. It’s a Super 8, not a Hilton. It’s a working man’s hotel, a place to stop for the night and clean up and catch some sleep, nothing more.
The room was fine and yes the was a touch of mildew smell, every hotel I’ve stayed at in the areas has this. AC condensation and the west Texas heat will do that.
This is our go hotel when we are making the trip to Santa Fe via I-​40. We head out after work on Friday and can make it here by 10:00 pm. It serves us well, clean bead, clean bathroom, a bite to eat in the AM and we’re gone.
If your a weary traveler and need a room while passing through, this is your place!

This place is a dump. It sits next to an abandoned lot and you can tell from the casual clothing choices of the staff nobody cares. The room I eventually got was the scariest dark hole I’ve ever been in. First, all of the rooms are interior and open into a dank mildewy hallway. My room has a door at each end that opened to a hallway but an awkward chair placement is supposed to deter using the second one. That door isn’t properly fitted to the frame so light blared in all night. There’s a layer of dust on everything. The large fridge they touted on the Expedia ad was mildewed and stained inside. Dirty. Gross. Skip it. I don’t even know where the hell they got the pics on Expedia. 700 miles to this crap hole and I just accepted it. Pay more and stay somewhere safer. No refunds should be a huge warning. Don’t book it!

Toilet was clogged with tons of floating poop when we checked in super gross. Front desk was kind and switched us rooms. The bathrooms are moldy. This place is in desperate need of a make over. But again staff was amazing.

Although, we only spent 9 hours at this location, our room smelled liked mildew, and the lighting was so terrible that I couldn’t distinguish 1am and 8am. On the other hand, the continental breakfast was pretty good and my son loved the freshly made waffles in the shape of Texas. Regardless of the funny smell and bad lighting the beds were comfy, the showers were hot, and the coffee was free!

My sheets and pillow were stained.
Go somewhere else; this place is disgusting.

I depend on a decent wifi connection to fuel my Netflix addiction. When a motel promises good wifi & doesn’t deliver, they can suck it on one star. Do yourself a favour & stay elsewhere.

First of all, Super 8, when I book 2 rooms using my iPhone connected to your booking system, and your system confirms the booking, don’t tell me when I show up that I don’t have reservations, then not give me the rate I was quoted on Kayak, (and which was still showing on Kayak, by the way). As yours was the only place around, and we were on the end of a 765 mile ride on the motorcycles, with 500 the next day, we were stuck staying at your overpriced «manger».
Second, your desk clerk that morning should be fired immediately. I heard his story twice about how, when he was in the Philippines, he saw a kid pop up out of a pile of garbage, with an empty soda can, shouting DINNER! He told this ridiculous and racist story twice in about 15 minutes, so who knows how many times he tells it daily? His other favorite line:
I’ve been all over the world, that’s why I live in the US
I’ve been all over the US, that’s why I live in Texas
And I’ve been all over Texas, and that’s why I live in Amarillo
Here’s my suggestion for the next line:
I can’t find a job anywhere, that’s why I work as a desk clerk at a dumpy Super 8 that sits in the shadow of the interstate, in a smelly section of Amarillo.

Service was friendly so I have to give the 3 stars for that. The room seemed ‘dank’; but, this was a smoking room and was all that was left so maybe if I was a smoker the smell and dampness wouldn’t have bothered me. Seemed like the room could really use a remodel. (flat screen tv’s/ new carpet /​paint).

It wasn’t dirty and the internet was free so i thought it was a pretty great place to stop for the night.
