It was an old-school motel. I loved the character. They have a lot to do to get it repaired on the outside. The rooms were fine. For the price, we would stay there again.

Although this is an older property, my room was in excellent condition. Owners are renovating rooms before exterior. The location is convenient to campus and the owners are very conscientious about making sure everything is well maintained and that all of your needs are met. I will definitely return!

Mel was a great host. She really made me feel welcome and if I had to go back to Norman I’d stay again because of her. She went above and beyond to make my stay pleasant. The rooms were clean, at a great rate, and just around the corner from all the great spots on Campus Corner. It was a great choice.

Excellent Service!!! As you'll read in other reviews, the property is older and outdated- however the staff make up for it by far. This is the quickest & friendliest check-in I've ever experienced. The room was very clean and smelled good. The owners and staff take pride in their work, and make you feel comfortable and right at home. We definitely plan on staying here again for future stays.

Our room was just fine. Mel was exceptional! She was so very friendly and helpful! We had 2 light bulbs missing in our lamps. We let Mel know and she came right up to bring the light bulbs. Only to find out the lamps were not working. She then immediately replaced the lamps. We were informed the owner was renovating the lodge. We understand that that takes time. We plan to stay again and are anxious to see the Reno progress!
