The building could use a facelift. The room was very clean and comfortable.
Nothing unique. Was able to get a good nights sleep and a warm shower. Sraff was great.

This room was clean and the staff was nice but the room was way over priced, bathroom door didn't close and the only amenities was the coffee in the room. For the price of the room they should provide a good breakfast. Again over priced for what you get. We are at a Best Western as of this writing for less of a price and they serve a hot breakfast in the morning, also a much bigger and comfortable room.
The outside looks like a shady motel but I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and modern looking the rooms are. Beds are comfortable. Rooms have nice refrigerators with a mini freezer. For the price it was a great value.
Great value for the price. Clean. Recently renovated. Comfortable beds. Microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker. Friendly staff. Highway noise is manageable with fan/AC.

Basic motel. Dated, but otherwise clean. Just wanted a place to sleep for a couple nights. Very convenient to OU for Family Weekend.
We needed a quick place to stay for the football game and this place was so much cheaper than other places around. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. The mattress was a little firmer than i prefer, but im not complaining. I would stay again!
Staff was very nice and the room is clean. The motel is right beside the expressway so you do hear traffic. Not a big deal for me. Good place to start whiling getting to my destination
