This is a "no frills" hotel - as they acknowledge it to be. The building is older, but well-kept. Outside entrance to all rooms. The room was basic, very clean, and adequate for a brief one-night stay. The price is reasonable. We were warmly greeted when checking in. Would return if in the area again.

The lodge was easy to find and right off of the interstate. The area was quiet, as was the lodge. Room was spacious and comfortable. The lodge was close to all the things we wanted to do, and the Staff was amazing!! Very friendly and easy to talk to. The stay there was wonderful and if we travel to Norman again, we will be staying there again. Thank you all so very, very much!!!!

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.
