Food
89- “Embassy Suites Downtown - This is my favorite hotel in AMA, but it's only a year old, and they're still working out minor kinks on occasional stays. You can't beat the amazing free cooked-to-order breakfast (tell Steve hello!) and free drinks every weekday evening.” 8
- “Though work pays for meals, I get excited about the Kickbacks when I know I'm staying at a Drury property and book them intentionally when available.” 14
Location
92- “Quite modern and a layout unlike traditional Embassy Suites hotels, the location is right downtown, a couple blocks from tons of great eats and whatever nightlife AMA has to offer.” 8
- “Decent breakfast and the location is pretty good, because it's right on the loop and I-40, so you can get on a highway to wherever you want immediately.” 8
Noise
85- “I've only stayed in Amarillo overnight once. It was at the Country Inn and Suites on the far west side of town, and I felt it was very safe. Despite being close to I-40 it was a pretty quiet area, and the hotel itself was nice as well.” 9
- “The reason I didn't dig it as much is that the walls seemed a little thin and I could hear the neighbors somewhat easily (maybe they were just coincidentally loud people?).” 8
Room
89Service
90- “Stayed at many hotels in Amarillo and Drury is our fav. Clean, comfortable, accommodating.” 2
- “I've stayed at the Drury Inn & Suites a couple of times when we were at fencing competitions in Amarillo, and would definitely stay there again. It's not the cheapest option, but it was clean and very safe and the staff were great.” 9
Bed & Sleep
88- “Our sleep was disrupted during the night by a barking dog” 5
