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.

Staff was awesome. Room was clean. Shower was nice. Bed was not good- too hard for hubby and it kept rolling me into the middle. Main issue was the highway noise. This motel has all rooms with doors opening to the outside.
