Ten Amarillo hotels appear on a 2026 pet-friendly shortlist, but their rules are not interchangeable: some accept cats as well as dogs, weight and pet limits differ, and fees may be charged per night, per stay, or with a separate cleaning fee. For the clearest current figures, Drury’s official policy lists $60 per day for one pet or $70 for two, before tax; Hyatt Place Amarillo-West charges $75 for stays of up to six nights and $200 before tax for seven nights or longer. Confirm the pet policy and pet-friendly room availability for your dates directly with the hotel before booking.
Which Amarillo hotels are on the 2026 pet-friendly shortlist?
Catster’s article, updated September 15, 2026, names the ten properties below. This is a shortlist, not a ranking based on hotel stays or a complete city inventory. Several prices and restrictions come from that guide rather than current hotel-operated policies, so treat them as reported details to verify, not guaranteed rates. [Catster’s Amarillo hotel guide]
| Hotel | Reported pet details | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Amarillo I-40 West | $20 per pet per night, according to Catster | Current fee, pet limits, species, and availability; listed at 2000 Soncy Road. |
| Drury Inn & Suites Amarillo | Dogs and cats; up to two pets with a combined weight limit of 80 pounds. Official policy: $60 per day for one pet or $70 per day for two, before tax. | Use Drury’s official fee rather than Catster’s older $50-per-night figure. [Drury’s property page] |
| Motel 6 Amarillo Airport | Catster and BringFido report no pet fee, a two-pet maximum, and crating when a pet is left alone. | These are secondary-directory details; confirm current rules and species eligibility with the hotel. [BringFido’s Amarillo directory] |
| My Place Hotel Amarillo West/Medical Center | $40 per night; up to two pets; 80-pound combined limit, according to Catster. | Verify whether the fee and limits still apply to your dates. |
| Hyatt Place Amarillo West | Dogs only; up to two dogs, each no more than 50 pounds and no more than 75 pounds combined. $75 nonrefundable for up to six nights; for seven nights or longer, $100 pet fee plus $100 cleaning fee, before tax. | Confirm dog-friendly room availability and the total including taxes. [Hyatt’s policy page] |
| Holiday Inn Express and Suites Amarillo East | $40 per stay, according to Catster. | Verify fee duration, eligible species, limits, and availability. This is not Holiday Inn Amarillo West Medical Center. |
| The Cactus Cove Inn & Suites | $20; Catster says to book a pet-friendly room. | The guide does not specify whether the charge is nightly or per stay; confirm that and other restrictions. |
| Candlewood Suites Amarillo Western Crossing | $40.25 per pet, according to Catster. | Confirm whether the fee is per night or per stay, plus current limits and availability. |
| Tru by Hilton Amarillo West | Catster reports $50 for stays under four nights and $75 for stays of five or more nights. | Verify the current fee and the exact break point for a four-night stay. |
| Big Texan Motel | No fee, according to Catster; the guide also mentions an on-site dog park. | Confirm which pets are allowed, any limits or rules, and whether the reported amenity is available. |
The fee and restriction details not tied to an official policy above are Catster’s reported information, not independently confirmed hotel terms. The guide does not establish a current policy for every listed property. [Catster’s Amarillo hotel guide]
What do the hotel policies actually allow?
Drury: dogs and cats, with a combined weight limit
Drury’s official Amarillo property page says it accepts dogs and cats, with a maximum of two pets and a combined weight limit of 80 pounds. The listed daily charge is $60 before tax for one pet and $70 before tax for two. Service animals are free. Catster’s guide gives a lower $50-per-night figure; where those sources differ, use the hotel’s current official page and confirm the charge for your stay. [Drury’s property page] [Catster’s Amarillo hotel guide]
Hyatt Place Amarillo-West: dogs only
Hyatt’s policy allows up to two dogs per room, each weighing no more than 50 pounds, with a combined maximum of 75 pounds. The nonrefundable pet fee is $75 for stays of up to six nights. For seven or more nights, the policy lists a $100 pet fee plus a $100 cleaning fee; taxes are additional. Hyatt says dogs must be housebroken and leashed in public areas, and they cannot enter food-service areas or the pool. If a dog is left unattended during room cleaning, it must be in a carrier; otherwise, the guest can remain present. Hyatt says it deep-cleans rooms after pet stays. [Hyatt’s policy page]
Holiday Inn Amarillo West Medical Center: a separate property
This hotel is not the Holiday Inn Express and Suites Amarillo East in the ten-property shortlist. The West Medical Center’s official page reports that dogs and cats are accepted, with a maximum of two pets and a 50-pound limit. It lists a $75 charge for stays of up to three nights and $25 for additional pets. The page also lists an ID-based $45 discount for active-duty military, seniors, and law enforcement; confirm eligibility and current terms with the hotel. [Holiday Inn Amarillo West Medical Center’s property page]
Motel 6 Amarillo Airport: secondary sources report no fee
Catster and BringFido report that this property allows up to two pets without a fee and requires pets to be crated when left unattended. The evidence available here does not confirm those conditions on a hotel-operated policy page, so ask the property directly before relying on them.

- Species: Ask whether the hotel accepts your pet. “Pet-friendly” may mean dogs only, as at Hyatt Place Amarillo-West, rather than cats or other animals.
- Number and weight: Confirm both each pet’s individual maximum and the combined limit. A room’s allowance can depend on either.
- Full fee: Ask whether the charge is per pet, per night, or per stay; whether a cleaning charge applies; and whether taxes are extra. Clarify duration thresholds, especially when a stay falls exactly on a cutoff.
- Being left alone: Ask whether pets may be unattended, whether a carrier or crate is required, and what happens during housekeeping.
- Shared spaces: Check leash rules and access to food-service areas, pools, and other public spaces.
- Room inventory: Request confirmation that a pet-friendly room is available for your actual dates. A hotel’s general pet policy does not guarantee one is vacant.
- Practical arrangements: Ask about designated relief areas and any property-specific instructions. If a hotel requires crating when a pet is alone, confirm the rule and make sure your pet is comfortable with the arrangement.
Tell the hotel you are bringing a pet when you reserve, then reconfirm the policy and total charge for the reservation.

Is this list the full set of pet-friendly hotels in Amarillo?
No. It is a ten-property editorial shortlist from Catster, not a complete inventory. Directory totals also differ by provider and can change: IHG’s directory snapshot lists eight pet-friendly Amarillo properties, while BringFido’s snapshot accessed October 7, 2026, reports 117 pet-friendly hotels and 17 with no pet fee. Those are live directory counts, not an official citywide census or a measure of which hotel will suit a particular pet. [IHG’s Amarillo pet-friendly hotel directory] [BringFido’s Amarillo directory]
