Our stay at the sleep inn was great! We came out for a weekend to attend some events at OU with our daughter and the Sleep Inn was perfect. Close enough to the school, only about a 10 min drive. It’s surrounded by very pretty trees and, which help to provide a nice and quiet atmosphere. It’s directly next door to the Riverwind casino, and offers a free shuttle. The hotel was clean, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming.
