The check in hostess was very pleasant and knowledgable. The bed and pillows were comfortable.
The Keurig coffee was very good. The bathrooms were clean. The shower had lots of water pressure. The microwave and refrigerator were a plus.

Older place but reasonably priced. VERY clean and comfortable! Super friendly staff. Close to campus and pretty much everything else in Norman. If you are coming thru for an OU game or two, this is a wonderful place to stay.
