This property seems to be an Iconic landmark. We booked last minute for an OU game. The staff was the sweetest! It’s not a new luxury hotel but was clean and quiet. Great price and a good location for a game weekend. The girl at the desk will be the reason I will book again. She was great!

Don’t judge a book by its cover!! The outside looks a little scary, but this is the cleanest hotel room I have ever stayed in!! Everything was clean and fresh! Mel was the best and even gave us a game day list of events!! She was so kind and helpful! I felt very safe & the location was perfect for the game! The surrounding areas are quiet with little traffic!

This is a wonderful budget friendly hotel. If you are like us and enjoy a good ol key to your room you are in the right place. It was very clean and close to everything. We were visiting family so we weren't looking for amenities like a pool, or Continental breakfast so this hotel was fine. will definitely stay here again in the future.
