Older motel that is clean and efficient. Friendly staff, convenient location, comfortable facilities.
This is a hotel run by people who care. This makes a huge difference.

Mel was very helpful & super informative. We had a great stay. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable as well. The hotel needs some type of renovation on the outside & my son was disappointed the pool was closed. But overall clean comfortable stay.
This is one nice place to stay. It is an older motel but the room I was in had been updated. The beds were very comfortable and we both had a great nights sleep. The room was very clean, it was spotless. It is not far from OU and we took an Uber to the game. The super nice young lady even called my cell phone the day of our first nights stay to welcome us and see if we needed anything special. When we arrived she came out to the car to check us in and offered helpful info on any restaurants or on any other questions we might have. Her name was Mel and she was very helpful and friendly and one nice young lady. The next time we come to Norman this is where we will stay.
Mel made me feel like family, she was super sweet and helpful and got me checked in to my room. I haven’t experienced such a pleasant check-in in a while. The room was clean and cozy, and check out was very simple. It was also super close to the Riverwind Casino which was my purpose for staying here. 10/10 Recommend!
Mel checked us in, late arrival, and was very bubbly and friendly and had great knowledge of the area. We enjoyed visiting with her. The outside is older but the interior has been updated and is very clean. Would stay again!
Mel was very nice lady, helped anyway she could for things to do for our son’s birthday! Room was very very clean, very quiet. Will stay here again and again!
