First time to Amarillo , could use some advice

This is my first trip to Amarillo could someone tell me and Chloe the best area to stay while we are here?Thanks for any positive input.

lots of various types of motels along i-40. the nicest seems to be the holiday inn downtown if you're looking more upscale. i've heard you should stay clear of the loves truckstop areas.

Hi Kylie-- while that is a nice motel you probably do not want to be in downtown Amarillo.. Aside from the occasional chaos of Polk Street after dark (with a ton of LE presence) there is nothing to do down in that area.

Your best bet is west I-40 area (from say Georgia west) or the south I-27 area.

Yes, I drove thru AMA today. I see a newer nicer hotels along West I -40. Have fun in AMA.

Kylie - I live in Amarillo and have used many of the hotels here. There is a nice Marriott downtown. If you are planning on being here for the weekend there are several great clubs downtown. Bodega's is a chic wine and jazz club. Sassy's is where most 20 something's go, but it caters to a lot of gay, lesbian and bisexuals as well as straight. Crush is a wine bar, Butlers has every martini imaginable, Pink is a sports bar. If you like sushi, Rain is the place to go! They serve food until 10, then it turns into a nightclub until 2 am.
The bad thing about staying downtown is the parking for clients.
I would recommend staying at any of the hotels on Soncy and I-40. Coulter is the medical district and they have some high end hotels but are scuzzy and dangerous. There is a holiday inn by the movie theatre (cinema rd and I-40) which is close to Soncy. Country Inn and Suites, The Drury, Homewood Suites, Hilton Garden are all on Soncy and I-40.
Best of Luck!
