Check in was through a little hole in the glass- couldn’t hear the lady very well and she didn’t speak clear English; plus tried to charge me more , so I had to show her my reservation email. Not a nice facility and could use a good cleaning.

Good price for a nights stay. Could upgrade your pillows or BYOP. Proximity to Windstar is great and beats the price of the big places. If you need a clean bed, no upgrades, this fills the bill.

Treat customers with more respect. Do some renovations if possible because this hotel is not worth the money they charge. I even had trouble opening the door. I could hear the people next to us talk and snore during the night.

The man at the desk was not friendly at all, the bathroom had not been cleaned verywell due to the fact that a dirty wash cloth was still hanging over the shower rod. The handle for the shower was broken and once the shower came on there was no hot water. There was lots of cars just riding around the parking lot. Just you get what you pay for

The property was horribly infested with bedbugs. It was unsafe. We walked in the room and found the bedbugs . Then went called Expedia, they contacted the owner he refused to refund the money. I have stayed at some cheaper motels, I wasn't expecting much. But bedbugs and drug dealers posting up the parking lot is where I draw the line

It is a traditional "roach motel" complete with a possum that had to be dispatched with extreme prejudice in order to gain access to the room and roaches plenty to keep you company. The spiders in the corners of the room, though, provide vigilant watch and I'm certain they keep the roach population from exploding exponentially. The non-smoking room definitely was used for smoking and left me convinced I had a nicotine addiction and need to be checked for lung cancer. The bathroom window was frosted but left little to neighbor's imagination should they or the meth junkies in the alley get curious. The water from the shower faucet was sulfuric and yellow from the rust. Make sure your tetanus shots are current. Also, bring your own light bulbs for the wall lamps or use the one bulb that is provided to alternate between the 3 lamps. The toilet seat wasn't screwed on so if you moved the wrong way at the wrong time you'd have an interesting movement to say the least. The staff was extremely friendly though and it was a pretty quiet stay aside from the mortal combat in which I was forced to engage.

I Like This Place

This is an older property, not only was it cost efficient, it had the feeling of home. It was clean, had all the amenities needed. Except for an iron, but I didn’t need one. Online it didn’t say microwave but they had it and a refrigerator. It could use a few upgrades like the tub and medicine cabinet. Maybe clean the bathroom window panes a bit. The bed was comfortable, the room had no odor, it was very clean. Check- in was seamless and so was checkout, just leave the key in the room. Yes, it had an actual key which made this stay above the rest at this level type of hotel. It has Wi-fi needed no code to access. Nice television with remote. The bed was very comfortable. Coffee was provided, no cream or sugar but still it was provided. I travel countries and have stayed in many 5-star hotels and low budget hotels, I rent according to how much I will be occupying the room. This is located right at the expressway 35 and there is a gas station convenience store right next door. I like this place, one level, plenty of spacious parking and peaceful. The one who checked me in was very friendly and efficient. I will definitely tell people about this place and I will definitely be back ..this is my new place out of town. I actually was able to get rest and this was one reason I was here in Oklahoma, to get away and rest.

They can do better for 80 bucks a night.

The bed was broken. Slept in a leaning mattress. They had renovations for the bathroom, but clearly the front desk is also the cleaning staff. Being near the casino, I'm sure they make enough money to inspect these rooms.
