Cactus Inn

Got stranded in McLean when our bus broke down, and it’s a good thing we ended up at the cactus inn motel! Kind people, safe, great rooms, overall best worst change of plans we could have asked for! The outdoor area is nice and there are a few trees to hang a hammock over by the giant cactus.

One of the best "vintage" places to stay on Route 66. And I've stayed at dozens of them, all along the route. Feel like part of the family when you stay here. All rooms are clean and not at all cramped. Reasonable prices. Top-of-the-line steakhouse next door.

This place is way too cool. Very Retro Route 66 ..,Clean and well equipped. Micro and fridge , pet friendly , coffee pot popcorn and waters. Helpful and friendly owner. Runnin Route 66 near McLean Tx ? Ya Gotta stop here and spend the night. Great Steak Joint next door.

We stayed at the Cactus Inn as our overnight stay on our recent trip between Denver and Dallas. Being fans of Route 66, we thought that staying here would provide a real "retro" experience. And, it did. For $66, we got a room with a king sized bed. Nothing fancy, but certainly fine for a one night stay. The Red River Steakhouse is right behind the Cactus Inn so it is easy to walk over for a meal. Back to the room - the shower floor could have been cleaner, as there were a few hairs on it. And the carpeting made our bare feet look as if it hadn't been given a good cleaning in quite some time. All in all, the Cactus Inn does provide a good, inexpensive Route 66 experience. But the experience could be a little better.

This is a must stop for those looking for a true Route 66 experience but it’s not for everyone. It was clean and quiet but we killed about 30 flies in our room. The bed was amazing! Plenty of hot water. The staff was very accommodating and the hotel cat made my night!
