Perfect stay! The staff was so welcoming, kind and professional. Our room ( and the rest of the hotel)was immaculate and very homey. The bar served the most delicious drinks and breakfast was great. My only regret is that we waited until our daughter’s final year at OU to stay there.

The room was nice but the hallway and lobby are very dated. The breakfast only had two round tables. Staff was friendly.
