The fire pit area outside is enjoyable. It's not walkable surrounding the area; a shuttle service to OU would be appreciated but they noted a city bus stop is across from the property.

Great staff

Couldn't check in 'till late because a visiting college basketball team was rude and was still there at 4:00pm. Front desk person was very nice though, not their fault. Room was very clean and comfortable. Restaurant is very nice and the bar area. Friendly staff. Will stay there again when visiting my son for now on. Better than the Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn.

Overall a nice stay, a few areas definitely need some attention, bathroom: shower head has seen better days, drain in sink and shower very slow. Pet friendly is great, however the amount of dog waste outside should be addressed.
