The Barfield, Autograph Collection

At the high recommend of friends, we booked this hotel for my wife's birthday on our way to Colorado. I booked a corner suite and reservations in their fine dining restaurant for her special birthday dinner. This is an old historic building located in an area of downtown Amarillo that has many restaurants and bars. For the most part the renovation work is impressive. However, the windows on the building are either original or cheap with very little sound insulation. The hotel had some sort of private party on the rooftop patio below our room and the rooftop bar across the street had a DJ or band. Both of these activities were loud and noisy till 1 or 2 am. Finally, my wife called the front desk and they hung up on her and did not call back. In the morning, I complained to the front desk and they really did not care. When the manager saw that I was complaining, she walked away. The person behind the front desk indicated that she was the manager. We got one of the worst nights sleep that we have ever had at a hotel. The dinner at the restaurant was not up to the standard that was advertised. Food was average for a regular restaurant and service was slow due under staffing. On our way back from Colorado, we stayed in different Marriott property for half the cost with a much better experience and a great nights sleep. In summary, this hotel and it's staff was a major dissapointment and an embarrassment to the Marriott franchise.

Chose this hotel due to its central location. Valet parking needed as alternative was street parking. Check in efficient and staff member knowledgeable. Room was spacious and well appointed.Decor addresses the history of the building. Went downtown in search of dinner but disappointed with lack of choice and surprised by how many businesses were closed down. The hotel houses a speakeasy in the basement and you need to know the secret to gain entry!

The Barfield is a quirky hotel with a basement “speakeasy” type bar. Rooms were large but wish that they didn’t have lights with automated sensors. The last thing we want when quietly relaxing is to have all the lights go out on you. Hotel staff, including in the bar and the restaurant were all great and super friendly.

This place is great! Very clean and spacious. We had breakfast at the restaurant the food was excellent. I would highly recommend this place. We also went to the speakeasy it was a little crowded and not much privacy but overall experience was great.

very nice and i would say again

My whole family loved our stay. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, the lobby was busy but comfortable, the accommodations were terrific. The only opportunity was the outside noise, we stayed in 6th floor and we heard the cars, the ambulances, the trains and the pedestrians. Would definitely still recomend.
