This was the 3rd time staying here and I love the service that Mel provides. She has great recommendations and I always feel safe here. It's nearby many shops, a couple casinos, and not that far from some great basketball games. Will definately stay here when I'm in Norman again.

The room was so clean! Cleaner than any room I have ever stayed in. Parking was great right next to the room easy to load and unload the car. The staff was great super friendly gave us all the information we needed to know lots of options for shopping and other things nearby. I would have to say even though it looks like an older property it was the best hotel we have ever stayed in , especially with the cleanliness.

Great place! A little "old school", but nothing wrong with that (example: solid brass key for the room). The room wasn't just clean, it was "Monica clean"! Keurig was a nice touch, and so was a tray of ice cubes in the freezer. I would absolutely book here again next time I'm in Norman.
