Get here early enough to eat at the big Texan!

We eat at the big Texan restaurant in ama a lot. Keep saying one day we will stay at the motel. Well we finally got our chance! Driving through, 11pm, book on hotels.com. Get to the hotel and the lobby is closed but the lady at the number provided was awesome and texted the room number and door code. Easy peasy. Room was big! Clean! King Bed was comfy. Shower has lots of power. Looks updated. Thank y’all!
