This place SHOCKED us! For what we paid for the evening and what we got, we feel like it was a bargain! And Dinna at breakfast did an AWESOME job. The amenities for families was great, and we liked it so much that this is where we plan to stay when we're heading back to Tyler, TX from CO.

The only thing I would probably change is the temperature runs a little warmer, even when you've adjusted the thermostat, but I don't know if that's a maintenance situation they're already fixing or not. Oh, and the hose next to the stairs at the pool was a little \"interesting\" visually.

All that to say, such a gem in the middle of the desert!

Our trip was not the greatest, The staff was fantastic and very helpful. But to there was major construction going on with what looked to me like a major remodel and there was lots of worker around doing ceilings and causing quite a bit of dust at our end of the hotel. I would not rule it out and willing to give it another try as the remodel will make great changes to the property.

Positives are it is clean and quiet surprisingly with your doors facing the courtyard. It was nice to have a bar but options were limited. Pool was closed though it said nothing about it online. Woman at the desk was overwhelmed through no fault of her own she had several people asking her for help at once. They were doing maintenance on it which was nice and the workers were very nice however one elevator didn’t work. The lights in the room had to be unplugged, many of the arcade games were out of order, and there are signs around the parking lot from the police dept stating to keep doors locked and no valuables in your cars. I would suggest to only stay here if you want to have your kids preoccupied as many adults didn’t watch them. If you don’t have kids for the money choose somewhere else because for the price it isn’t worth all that money.

The rooms are nothing like the ones pictured on the website. It is so loud, you can not rest. The bar music plays so loud until 2am. You can hear kids running and screaming outside the rooms. Air conditioning had air fresheners in the vents to hide the fact that the room smelled musty. Very disappointing after seeing how nice it looked on the website.

Our bathroom was crazy. 1st the sink handle was so loose you can’t change water temperature. 2nd the bath spigot is about ready to fall off it’s also disconnected. 3rd the toilet is also disconnected. There is a leak at the bottom in the floor. Black mold around the tub. 4th the door actually makes a very loud sound when opened. Don’t worry about closing- it won’t. Overall I would not recommend based on my experience. Hopefully other rooms are trouble free. The children loved it.

I was really excited about this hotel. The website makes the place look really upscale and chic but when we got there it was a little disappointing.

Here are the positives: The staff were very kind and helpful, that was not a problem. It did have great amenities, especially if you have children like a slide, game room, bar and restaurant all inside but none of that really mattered to us as a young couple. The artwork and decoration was very cool. The breakfast was also very nice!

The negatives: The pool water was HOT and had a sign that said something along the lines of “Do not swim if you have had diarrhea in the past 2 weeks” which scared me to use it because obviously they needed to put that sign up after an incident. Yikes.

The ceiling in our bathroom was chipping and pieces were all over the floor. The carpet was wet with humidity and cold from the AC. The roof in the hallway was partly spray painted in some parts and not in others. The hotel looked unfinished with a whole wing of it looking abandoned/under construction. I feel bad writing this because I’m usually a positive and glass half full person.

If I came with kids, I think it would have been great and I could maybe ignore some of the other things. Very family friendly, I will say that!

The staff tried, but the hotel is not ready for prime time! It looked closed from the outside, and there are signs every few posts in the parking lot that it is basically unsafe out there. The hotel is built around a worn down kid area, and the pool was closed for 3 days for 'maintenance', it looked like more than that when we walked by ... There was a lot going on 'maintenance' wise elsewhere too. We were put into a suite, where my husband immediately said, it looks they threw the furniture in, the cable and WiFi didn't work, then when we decided to go in the bedroom to just relax, there were pubic hairs on the sheet, and music started up in the restaurant below us. When I called to get new room, we were given the room directly below us - I told her that I would prefer to be moved away from the music, it was 8:30 PM, and she said that usually it stops about 10 PM. We decided to leave, booked a room at the 4 Points (highly recommend), and got outta there ASAP. They were cool enough to refund our money for the stay. They have a long way to go before they are ready for guests here, and I would only recommend if you want a kids playground close to your hotel room.

I think this place has potential! The entry was cute and the lobby was nice. It was a little overwhelming at first to walk into but the staff was welcoming!

Our main issue was that the listed photos weren’t accurate to the room. There were broken tiles on the walls in the shower with big holes between the grout repairs. The paint was peeling off the ceiling and there were small bugs. The pool was under construction which is not a big deal. Maybe it would have been different if we booked the deluxe room instead of the comfort room. It did seem like they were upgrading parts of the hotel so maybe not all of the rooms are like this.

The rooms are old and need serious upgrades.

If you have children, it is a fund place with indoor pool, bounce house and play area.

Our door was unlocked and open when we got there. The beds make so much noise every time you move, springs may be broken? There is no ventilation in the bathroom. There was only 1 large towel in our room when it was a double bed and 4 people. The elevator is pretty far and not easily accessible.

Staying in Cactus Cove is an experience. We stayed in the renovated room which was clean and had modern feel. Great amenities such as pickle ball court, game room with billiards, shuffle board, pool. The only thing that was missing was some sort of outdoor sitting but maybe it is part of the future renovation plans.

For families with young kids on a tight budget this could be a good choice. It caters well to kids and is dog friendly.

The property is old and it shows in the low, popcorn ceilings, cracked floor tiles, and general age related issues. I'm tall and in the shower the ceiling was just a few inches above my head. The showers have good pressure, the bed was good, the TV small but adequate, the breakfast ok. Black curtains everywhere to ensure privacy due to glass wall at front of room and window with a walkway running by it at rear of room. No daylight. The overall feeling dark and slightly dingey. Staff were nice.

The car parking around back is odd. We saw a number of cars in valid spaces get totally blocked in by a row of pickup trucks that parked in the throughway. There were a lot of pickups overall, perhaps due to the quarter horse museum next door. I think the car park was being used by people not staying at hotel.

There were several doors at the property corners that led to car park. They weren't secured, so anyone could wander in without passing front desk.

For the same price there are bright, modern hotels in good locations.

The hotel is unique with a lot of random things for little kids to do. It has a lot of potential, however our bathroom was very rusted and not very clean. We smelled numerous smells throughout the hotel and our room that weren’t pleasant. Along with strong scent from the pool. The ceiling tiles are poorly painted, and not even finished in some areas. The breakfast was decent, but frequently needed the juice refilled. Would be nice if they offered bacon. The arcade had a lot of games that didn’t work. The gumball machine that dispenses fish food for the koi pond didn’t work unless you shook it around. A group of kids were shaking it so hard it almost fell over.
The main complaint is if you get a room near the bar, which is not owned by the hotel. They play live music until 1am and it can be heard through the walls loudly. The front desk staff were not helpful or understanding at all. Did not offer another room just a sorry.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I felt unsafe, uncomfortable, and dirty. The floors on the hallways were ripped off, there’s no ventilation in the bathroom (guaranteed there’s mold beneath the bathroom paint), I couldn’t even get out of the bathroom. The door was shut, not locked. My boyfriend had to bust me out. Photos are a catfish.

I was super excited to stay here but was so disappointed. The motel is nothing like the photos. It is right off of the freeway, beer bottles everywhere outside. Half of the place was closed for renovation, there was a huge hole in my bathroom piping and toilet not set in place. The curtains are see through. The area was not nice and didn’t feel the safest. I would have rather went to a motel 6. I wouldn’t recommend this place, especially for around $200 a night. The breakfast was decent :).

You cannot use profanity in a review on this site, so I don’t have the words to describe the stuff on the floor. The pictures make the place look great, and it used to be a great place. Unfortunately, it was a nightmare. I chose this for my wife because of current pictures and previous stays. There were other properties nearby that were much cheaper, but I wanted a nicer safe place for my wife. She was so scared that she pushed a couch against the door for protection.

I have never given this bad of review for anything. I also have pictures.

The rooms were an afterthought. There was a used towel in my restroom and trash in the can upon arrival. The bed was not comfortable. There as no over head light. Wood curtains on the all glass entrance space. No useable outlet outside of the restroom. Cracks and stains. The air is thick/humid and the carpet has a dampness to it.

It’s clear the property prioritized entertainment over the stay part of the visit. I would not recommend-instead take your kids to an arcade and stay somewhere that prioritizes the stay.

I booked the hotel based off amenities. The inital reaction to the 1st room provided was not great at all. It was very dated and the bathroom was not even average and the carpet in the entire room felt damp. After requesting a different room that looked more like the pictures advertised on line they were able to update my reservation to a much more appealing and updated room. With the newer room and the amazing amenities which included free breakfast, bounce house, slides, playground and pool which were all indoors I couldn’t have picked a better hotel. It also included an onsite restaurant, boutique, and arcade. Easy access to the highway and other restaurants.

After a 6.5-hour drive, we arrived at Cactus Cove Inn Amarillo hoping for a comfortable place to rest. Instead, it turned into one of the worst hotel experiences we’ve ever had.

The front desk staff were polite and courteous, although they looked completely exhausted. At check-in, instead of key cards, we were handed a card with our room number (313) and a handwritten 4-digit code to unlock the room.

Right away, there were red flags. The elevator closest to the entrance was out of service with an “I want a little me time” sign taped to it, forcing us to walk all the way across the building to use another elevator. Once on the third floor, Room 313 required another long U-turn walk down worn, dirty hallways.

Before even reaching the room, the hallways were in terrible condition. Construction debris, cement material, cracked walls, and a pervasive foul odor made the building feel neglected. The smell was so strong it seemed to cling to your clothes.

Then we opened the room door.

The room looked absolutely nothing like the photos online. Nearly everything appeared damaged or worn out—the chair, desk, lamp, walls, ceiling, blinds, and bathroom. The bathtub looked filthy, and the overall condition suggested years of deferred maintenance. The most shocking discovery was large dried boogers smeared on the framed artwork hanging on the wall. At that point, we knew we could not stay there.

To make matters worse, the hotel’s automatic entrance doors later stopped working.

The hotel was nice from the outside. The pool and play area were really nice. The pickleball paddles and balls were broken. We were still able to have fun with them. The arcade was a waste of money. The room needs upgrading. The carpet felt wet. The bathroom was gross. There was black mold on the ceiling.

We tried to eat at the restaurant, but no one would acknowledge us to be seated so we left and ate somewhere else.

Overall glad we were only staying one night.

We stayed 1 night with our small dog. The rooms are large but the property is dated and needs an update. The staff was super, particularly when we found that the room did not have a smart TV. As they were not booked up they upgraded us to a room with a better media system. The bed was hard, and there is a lot of noise due to the floors are tile and you hear everyting above and below your room. If I was traveling with children this place would be great, indoor pool, playground, arcade and kids events. Free vreakfast is included and the on site restaurant had decent food for a fair price.

We have stayed at this hotel 3 or 4 times now, it just gets better and better as they keep renovating and adding things for the kids to do. The breakfast Kayla made was awesome, my kiddo with autism came back for seconds which is a feat with how much he won’t touch. The eggs, sausage and potatoes she made were amazing! The hotel already had mini golf, an indoor pool and places to sit and watch and have now added bounce houses, playgrounds, arcade, a slide from the second story to the first and fresh baked cookies since we were here last.

The room was clean and so was the property. The property was under renovation, and it was nice to see how they were updating the property. The common area was great for families with children. The attached bar grill to the property is extremely pricey for food, but they do carry out adult drinks for individuals staying on the property.

The biggest thing I wish I would have seen in the reviews was that every room has a big glass door and windows on each side entering the room. They do have big wooden blinds to black out the windows, but I was highly surprised for the glass door and windows.

The room was clean but everything is very worn down and you can tell the overall hotel isn’t well maintained. For example, caulking being red/discolored, a giant sink faucet in the bathroom vs a bathroom faucet, doors having worn scratch marks, overall it’s just very run down and needs some serious updating. I will give a 10/10 for insulation, you couldn’t hear anyone outside of the room even though the door to leave the room was glass and two glass panels on either side of it. The beds were clean and comfortable as well. They also have a lot of entertainment for the kids but don’t waste your money at the arcade, most games are claw machines and the prizes are way bigger than the claws can pick up.

This hotel does not warrant the current rating it holds here on Expedia. The property is confusing: there is signage from the previous hotel iteration up all over the place, very little signage indicating where to go and the room numbers change (there were rooms in the 200s and 500s) on the 2nd floor. The property is not well maintained: one elevator was broken and the other had cracked and broken tile flooring and smelled strongly of urine, the room was not properly cleaned, smelled of mildew, and overall felt a little gross. They allow pets but the bed in our room was fully open underneath, allowing small pets (like cats) to get underneath and be very difficult to remove. The hotel communicated through Expedia, a lot, and instead of just writing the message it was always an attachment with a link to check-in early. This made it seem like this was the only option for checking in to the hotel, it wasn't. We later learned there was one person at the front desk but she was by herself when there were many many guests on the property. Overall, it should not be rated as highly as it is and we will not be staying there again.

The property is a bit rundown overall. Most of the extra amenities (games and such) weren’t accessible due to an event booked at the hotel. The worst part is the state of the room - it smelled like stale cigarette smoke in a nonsmoking room and the couch was so stained that we wouldn’t dare sit on it. For the price they are charging, that is just unacceptable. And by the state if everything else, including rusty handrails, worn paint, chipped tiles, and an out of order elevator that had a sign indicating this was a long standing situation, it wasn’t worth asking for anything to be addressed by the hotel.
