I was met by Mel. She was very welcoming and helpful. Its an older building, but you can see they are working on it. The rooms were very clean, sheets were nice and crisp. I would like the pool to be available the next time I stay as I do plan to stay again when I visit family. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a great deal.

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.
