My daughter had to stay here for the night paid 85$ for a run down hotel room and woke up COVERED in BED BUG BITES! It was brought to the front desk attendants attention and she dismissed her as if she got them somewhere else... which is not possible! So just beware and check room thoroughly before paying because they will not issue a refund for such a horrible experience! She literally saw one crawling on her sweater when she wokey up, she's young and shy so didn't want to say anything but I told her she needed to go bring it to their attention and hopefully they'd do the right thing and offer a refund... they didn't! read more

Super easy roadside Hotel. Far enough off hwy 40 so it's very quiet. Hotel staff was super accommodating and friendly. Very cute, and Super clean. Nice bed and clean thick towels. Would definitely recommend. I work in the tv/film business and this is the exact kind of place that would be chosen for a movie set highway hotel. read more

Cactus Inn - Sunrise at the Cactus Inn - Hotels Near Me - McLean, Texas

Hidden Gem of Old School Roadside Motels!!! Affordable and CLEAN!!! The staff is AMAZING!!!! The owner makes homemade peanut brittle. You can walk to the steakhouse!! Super HOT shower with great water pressure. It not quiet Spring so the little wall Mr. Heater really topped off the cozy meter!!! read more

It was as advertised we got there it was ready to go. It was super cute and very clean. It's a vintage motel, but not completely restored so you still get a feel of the past. Super nice staff and located right next-door to the Red River steakhouse which now is one of my top five best steaks lifetime!! I will come back here again for a quick getaway and I would recommend it for anybody coming this way. read more

Basic room for basic price. Walls were not well insulated so could feel the cold and hear the hunters get up at 4:30 am. Sheets were strange material. Pillows and mattress were marginal. On the other hand, Room was clean and heated when we arrived. Staff was quite nice. read more

Was taking a cross-country trip to Daytona Beach and wanted to stay here both going and coming, made 2 reservations. Upon arrival, I was informed the motel had overbooked, and I had to keep going down the road to find a place to stay. On my trip home, my reservation was validated when I showed up. The wife and I definitely decided to not use the shower, very uninviting and not enough towels. I have never sat on a toilet that was as small as the one in our room, made for kids? It was 39 degrees outside, so the heater in the room was used and had NO effect on the icy cold bathroom. Lousy bedding, we could not wait to get out of there, what a shame it ruined my Route66 experience. Paid $62.00 for the night and that was too much. The Red River restaurant is lousy, McLean, TX has really been left behind. read more

I really liked this small frtendly little gem. There are some well thought out homey touchs in the room. It was clean, roomy, and comfortable. My only complaint was I found the pillows too soft. Bring your own if you have it. Soft, but vomfortable bed. Welcomed our cat staying...no problem. read more

OK, I'll give this five stars with this caveat, I did not stay in the room. This business is affiliated with "Harvest Host" which allows a few motorhomes/campers to park on the property, and that is how I came to be here. Angela, the owner/manager was friendly and accommodating. She recommended several businesses nearby, which were exceptional. A steakhouse next-door, and a small bar down in the town. She is gung ho about this little town and I don't blame her, I might move here myself. read more

This hotel is awsome. The owner is very kind. I called to reserve a room and when I got here she had turned the heater and light on for me They allow pets. It is clean and smells good the beds were firm and the sheets clean no stains. TV worked well and so did the fridge and microwave a cute touch I enjoyed was the two water bottles and bag of popcorn what a thoughtful thing to do. I loved there soap they provided and the fact that they had liquid creamers for the coffee they took the time to add special touches to make your visit plesent. I highly recommend this motle to anyone heading threw mclean texas.. read more

while traveling on Route 66, we came across The Cactus Inn in McLean Tx. I gotta say it was one of the best little places we stayed during the trip! The owner was very nice and funny, and so accommodating. The room was very clean and decorated nicely, with a mini fridge and microwave. She even had 2 bottles of water and a pack of microwave popcorn in a basket waiting for us. The price was extremely affordable. If you find yourself over this way, you won't be disappointed. read more

This was a quaint inn. The service was great. The only complaint is that the water pressure is sub-par and the wifi is slow.

Owner is super sweet and goes an extra mile to help make your stay comfortable and she even has a Tap House down the street that is work in progress. She is one strong woman and I wish her the best read more

The Cactus Inn.The new owner that took over in Feb 2020 is doing a great job in theme decorating each of the rooms. I got to stay in the New Mexico room! I would give 10 stars if I could for the cleanliness alone. This room was the cleanest room I've ever stayed in, anywhere. I loved the personal touches like complimentary water & microwave popcorn. I had a pet friendly room. There was plenty of grassy areas to walk my dog. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this cute little country Cactus Inn read more

Was looking forward to staying here since we use to own small motels and I love the quaintness of a mom and Pop and reading the reviews I thought it would be great...well one review said room was nice and cozy our room as 56 degrees and we had a reservation, so you would think a small place like this they would turn on heat. According to reviews the rooms were clean and nice well #19 was not any of those. Walls were beat up, chair had duck tape on it, towels didn't match and were ragged...no shower here. Tv kept going out due to lousy internet, coffee maker but no coffee and no tissues? I am trying to find something good about this place I guess that it is on Route 66 also since the reviews were so good maybe we just got a bad room? I really wanted to like this place....we tried read more

What a great little spot! Highly recommend it. Very reasonable price and dogs allowed only a $10 extra fee. Its quaint and cute.

Clean. Contactless check in was a great plus during worst of the pandemic. I made two LA to NYC round-trips during the pandemic and this stop worked out very well for the cross country drive. Owner or staff seems nice albeit only on the phone or from a distance. Clearly whoever owns this motel cares about making it a pleasant stay. read more

Looks nice, but not to code. Exposed wires, no smoke detectors. Kitchenette was convenient, but not stocked with anything useful. Owner was nice and helpful. Circuit blew while we were there. read more

Charming (dog friendly) old fashioned hotel with very kind staff and clean accommodations. Heating/air conditioning unit worked well and shower was hot for two people. Nice quiet area and slept very well. read more

During our cross county trip, we stayed at a lot of motels. This one was by far the best. The rooms were clean and well stocked with water, coffee and even popcorn for snack. The rooms are large. The beds were comfortable and the staff was friendly. The rooms are themed which was fun. I highly recommend this motel. It's a hidden gem. read more

This is one wonderful motel!! The owner and her staff are so accommodating and friendly.. the room was very clean and you could tell that a effort has been made to maintain a older property.. everything worked fine.. the bed was great and the property was very quiet.. good sleeping. I came in on Sunday so all of the restaurants were closed.. I knew this ahead of time, so I stopped in Amarillo for a Subway to go.. worked out fine. I tour on my motorcycle a lot.. what I look for is a clean and affordable motel and a good nights sleep.. The Cactus Inn has it covered.. you will not be disappointed.. read more

A perfect throwback motel for a good nights sleep! Room was clean and comfy as well as reminiscent of motels from my childhood. Staff were SUPER friendly. Bed was comfy, water was hot, and it was very reasonably priced $44.00. A definite stop for a quick rest on a road trip. read more

Very clean, nice people, so worth driving past Amarillo. Really good, cheap place to stay.

Old. I realize you should expect old with a nostalgic motel but I would not return here. Host not very friendly, room was dingy (two dead cockroaches in shower in the morning that weren't there last night). Price was right and location was good for two guys riding 66 on bicycles. read more

This is an original motel from the 50's, it has been changed very little since then, hence the fact that bathroom, etc is quite old and not in tip top shape. However, I am giving it 5 stars because it was clean, and the owner, Ben Reeves, could not have been nicer or more accommodating. There is a good steakhouse next in walking distance, we will definitely stay here on our way back again. read more

Worst hotel ever. Checked in, paid the $45 only to find out there's no food or drink for 30 miles. So here I sit eating saltines and water that I brought. On top of that my coffee pot had burnt coffee on the bottom of the pot and leftover stale grinds in the basket. Trust me keep driving. read more

Nice quiet and affordable. Easy check in. Restaurant next door. A mile or so off the interstate. The weather was perfect the night we stayed so we took a nice walk in the Texas countryside. read more

Cactus Inn - Wife by sign - Hotels Near Me - McLean, Texas

Clean and friendly when passing through town. Very accommodating. Stayed coming through both times

Really nice little place to stay in a really small town! Reasonably priced- $44 for a king size bed and the room had a mini fridge and a microwave. Free wifi. The people that work there are super friendly and pointed us towards a close place that was open for food. If ever in the area again, I would definitely stop here for the night! read more

If you are traveling interstate 40 through the Texas Panhandle, this little motel is not to be missed! Rooms are spacious and clean, feature all necessary amenities (fridge, microwave, coffeemaker, flat screen tv, etc) and are furnished quite simply, in a manner that reminds one of home. Make sure to stay here on a Tuesday-thru-Saturday and you won't miss the Red River Steakhouse next door either. Better restaurant food is not to be found on I-40 for miles and miles in either direction, even for the vegetarian. Last night I feasted on their dinner salad, broccoli, and peach cobbler. Their BBQ sauce tasted great on the broccoli. They also have plum cobbler. For you Route 66 travelers, this is your stop! read more

If you are traveling 1-40 thru Texas this inn is right off the hi way. Really clean and reasonable. Will stay there our next trip to Oklahoma read more

Friendly check in. Clean room. Affordable. No frills, just a modern version of the places you'd find on the road back in the day.
