The Rama Motel started out as the Colonial Courts in 1952 with a total of 40 or so units, 10 or so in the two story building along with the office and a coffee shop and 30 or so in the single story sections. In newspaper articles from when it open it was called both the Colonial Courts and Colonial Motel. Eventually it became the the Rama Motel. It is next to the Eastridge Bowling Lanes on the east side of Amarillo.

The colonial styling of the building fit well with the original name. There was a swimming pool in the courtyard, but it has been filled in.
