Pleasantly Surprised for the price I was a little hesitant when I booked this room but took a chance. I appreciated that they did not price gouge like most of the other area hotels on an OU "special" weekend. No frills but it met our needs. Super close to campus. Very clean, polite and attentive staff. It is not fancy. The beds were very firm which I liked. If you're just looking for a place to sleep, it fits the bill. I would not be opposed to staying again. We were grateful to find this room on Mom's Weekend!

Upon arrival, we decided not to stay. The exterior of the property was concerning enough to forgo entrance all together. I was extremely disappointed considering ********** reviews seemed positive however, the later Google search told a different, more accurate, story. Overall, very displeased and inconvenienced given I had already paid for the stay. Please ensure the reviews are an accurate reflection of the quality of these locations!

Nothing fancy but perfectly adequate as a place to stop for the night in the middle of a long drive. The bed was comfortable, the heat and plumbing worked. I don't need fancy decor, and didn't even take my computer out so can't speak of the desk and chair. The money I saved more than covered a nice breakfast at a restaurant down the street.

This is a small roadside motel. The current owners have put a lot of effort into upgrading the facility. Rooms were clean and quiet. Great place to get a good nights rest. Staff was courteous and friendly. Room had a fridge and microwave. No frills or pool, exercise, food offerings. Good deal for the price.

Great place for the price. Bed was comfy. A new coat of paint would go a long way. The shower head is not made for tall people. All in all, I’d stay there again. It was nice a close to OU which was the reason for our visit. Super quiet. The road construction on the front street was a bummer. Bottom line is that we got to see our daughter during parents week and didn’t have to go bankrupt to do so, though the price was inflated due to the occasion.

Clean and inexpensive Place is definitely worn. Exterior looks just plain bad. Interior needs updating but was nice and clean. Would recommend for a quick night stay.
