Very friendly front desk!
I was coming into town to visit my daughter at school. I was coming in prior to check in and called to see if they might have a room available early. The receptionist was very friendly and said she would hold me the first one ready. When I arrived 30 mins later it was available and ready for me to check in.

Friendly staff all around...breakfast lady was very attentive and proud of the morning offerings..deservedly so. The sausage gravy and biscuits on Sunday was a pleasant surprise. If visiting your kid at OU, it's about a 45 minute walk to Court St. However, if treating your kid to lunch/dinner, everything is nearby this hotel.

Good location
This hotel was located near where I needed to be and that’s why we choose it. The room had a smell of wet dog but not bad. The bed was comfy and clean. All in all I enjoyed my stay. Loved the 12:00 check out.

We visited on a high demand weekend and paid what I’d say were nearly 5-star rates. I get it: supply & demand but I didn’t feel it was a good value. I had to ask for a new room key at least five times as the card reader wasn't working properly. Room was spacious and clean.

Good value for price paid. Bedding was above average. Housekeeping staff visited room each day. Clean towels each day. A rarity during and post Covid. Very good, decently stocked breakfast bar. Good mix of hot food and cold choices. Even had a pool which was clean.

Staff was very friendly and quick to help. Only negative is that there were either 6 kids or a herd of elephants in the room above us
