The OU in is my favorite hotel!!! Their updates are so nice the rooms are always clean the staff is always helpful and friendly! The outdoor spaces are gorgeous and so fun to relax in! They’ve even thought of all the little touches like a water bottle filler in the lobby! We’ll be back again next year!

Check-in staff was young and seemed confused. Said my credit card didn't go thru, despite my room being pre-paid. She also didn't recognize my VIP status and was actually going to downgrade the room, until I showed her the VIP perks for this stay. I did ultimately get an upgraded room, which was very nice. The restaurant/bar staff were not attentive and took close to 30 minutes to get any sort of acknowledgment, a menu or any service. No complaints about the hotel itself, but the staff seemed a bit lacking this trip.

The bed sheets felt old and itchy. The lobby allowed a family birthday party! It was loud and disrespectful. Lack of management to handle situation. Front Desk didn’t know what to do, she allowed it.

Solid Place to Stay

The Inn was extremely clean. Beds and linens were nice. Their breakfast is good...they even served shredded hash browns that were crispy. No complaints whatsoever. Glad we stayed here. Would stay again without hesitation.
