One night stay is okay

Good for a night stay to get rest but would not stay longer than that. The good- convenient location and easy to find, food options near by, seemed pretty safe, no bugs in room for me so that’s key. The bad- condition of building and furniture in rooms was not great

This place should be condemned. There is no way it has such a high user rating here. It’s a total dump. There were 2 dead cockroaches in the room, the bedspreads had dark stains on them, the bathroom was disgusting and in total disrepair. And to top it all off, the lightbulbs in the lamps were harsh white fluorescents, like in a dentist’s office. Felt like a bad horror movie. We didn’t even unpack our bags. Just made a reservation at the nearby Hampton Inn and left this dump less than 30 mins after check in. I would have asked for a refund, but unfortunately Expedia doesn’t give refunds same day as check in. It was worth it to me to pay for TWO hotel rooms to not spend another minute in this place. Hotel 81 El Reno is disgusting.

The price was low, which was good. The rooms had dirty chairs, ceiling peeling, shower was gross and water changed hot to cold in an instant. Our "non-smoking room" had 3 or 4 cigarette burns in the bed sheets. It would be hard to stay there again unfortunately.

I would choose to sleep in my car before paying for a room in this establishment. The room had ripped up clothing left or they were cleaning rags. They were left under the desk. The corner of the room had mildew and mold. I have pictures for anyone to see. I will be calling the health department and sending them the pictures. There was also a burn mark from a hot plate in the carpet.

Mildew and mold smells from AC and bathroom were bad in room 209. I left the AC turned off so it wouldn’t make it worse, but had to leave after a few hours and find a different hotel. Otherwise the room was clean, the bed was comfortable. Not everyone is sensitive to this so I still gave it a 3.
