It’s a nice new hotel. Right across the street from Wal-mart but doesn’t feel like it. It’s clean, new and close to OU. We booked another night a few months away while we were there!

We stayed two nights for a quick get away to Hocling Hills to ATV and kayak. We would recommend this hotel to anyone. Great location with many places around. We needed more towels which they were accommodating and the rooms were very clean. It was so quiet and the beds comfortable. The only thing we experienced was towels that smelled old but we asked for new and they replaced them immediately. Staff was very nice and bathrooms clean.
We will be back.
Thanks for a great stay!!!
