This property seems to be an Iconic landmark. We booked last minute for an OU game. The staff was the sweetest! It’s not a new luxury hotel but was clean and quiet. Great price and a good location for a game weekend. The girl at the desk will be the reason I will book again. She was great!

This location and accommodation is very convenient to the campus and visiting our daughter. The only improvement would be to get larger bath towels, since they are quite small.
