The room and bathroom was very clean, and the office manager Mel was very kind to provide information about things to do in the area. The hotel is very close to coffee shops, restaurants and the Oklahoma museum of nature, that we visited. She also contacted me before arrival to confirm details about the room. I did not see the email until we arrived, but we had exactly the room that we needed. Highly recommend this hotel if you are in Norman!

Staff was awesome. Room was clean. Shower was nice. Bed was not good- too hard for hubby and it kept rolling me into the middle. Main issue was the highway noise. This motel has all rooms with doors opening to the outside.

When you book with a traditional style motel you never know what you are going to get. It this case, you get a great value for your money. Upgraded TV, shower, clean room, friendly and thoughtful staff, all at a great price.
