Last year we chose to stay at Ambassador Hotel while passing through on our way to skiing in New Mexico. Of course, for this year's annual trek, we returned to the best Amarillo hotel. They are offering these awesome ski rates. You do have to call the hotel directly, but it is well worth it. Our family was able to get a rate under $90. My wallet loved that. Even better, the hotel now offers a complimentary hot breakfast buffet, so nice when you have hungry teenagers.

The staff was as friendly as we remembered, and were able to place us in the same type of deluxe room as our last stay. The room was large and comfortable. Our kids remembered the flat screen television and were glad to see it again! This family friendly Amarillo hotel has an indoor pool which is always a plus when traveling with your kids.

We highly recommend the Ambassador Hotel in Amarillo, and look forward to staying there again in 2011!
