Always enjoy staying at the OU Inn - clean and spacious rooms, love to sit out on the patio area in the evening, and convenient to the campus and greenway. A nice perk is their Guest of the Day - if you’re chosen, you receive money off a food order at either the restaurant or tavern and 2 free breakfasts. Would still appreciate a free bottle (or two) of water upon checking and a soap dish for the bathroom sink.

Very nice stay. The room was roomy and comfortable. My only complaint was the room was next to the parking lot in the back of the building and it was very noisy because of this. Loud motorcycles and trucks behind my room. But that is no fault of the Inn. Cutlers restaurant off of the lobby was fantastic!!! And they have Starbucks!! I would gladly stay again.
