Not a bad place to stay. What you would expect from a 65 dollar a night room. Relatively clean. Looks like they have done some recent painting. Staff is very nice. I would stay here again.

Clean room, comfortable bed, good WiFi and TV. However , room was freezing when I came in. So I turned on heat, went to dinner for 1 1/2 hours to let it warm up. Bathroom still cold, but tolerable.

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.

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.

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.

Not the cleanest place I’ve been to, has a lot of drug activity going on! But that’s my opinion no proof, we are smokers so was glad they had smoking rooms, the young lady at the front desk was very kind.

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!

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, comfy budget motel

The motel was clean and the beds were SUPER comfortable! The woman who checked us in (I was in Athens with my 16 yr old daughter visiting a friend) was very friendly! The door to the room only had a doorknob lock and it wasn't super sturdy. The chain lock was broken. And the door had a decent-sized gap between it and the door frame in some places. That all being said, I still felt safe enough and the rooms on the opposite end of the motel were being worked on and upgraded while we were there. I would definitely still recommend this motel! VERY good for the price!
