Not a bad place to stay if you need somewhere to go for a night or two we were there for Katt fest and it was about 15 minutes away from Lucky Star and the rooms are clean everything worked in the room and convenience stores right next door
Well I was ready to give this place a very high mark but the one thing that I found that stopped that was there were three great big long hairs perfectly visible in the shower. Other than that it was a good place for the money...
Rooms are clean. good customer service. And affordable weekly pricing
Great staff, my only complaint is it took a couple of days to get the air-conditioning working. Considering that they are still under reconstruction (they were hit directly by a tornado last year), the rooms are acceptable for the price ($58.50 with tax and no security deposit). 2-3 minute walking distance to a 24 hour travel center (big +). They have both smoking and non-smoking rooms available. Pets are welcome and they do have both truck and RV parking available and they have extremely easy access to the freeway
I've stayed in extended stay motels all over the world...never imagined I'd ever give one more than 3*s.... this is the exception. The daily rate is fair...and they actually give you a real discount for weekly rates. But the room blew my mind.... I've stayed in 4* motels that weren't as clean. I opened the door of my "smoking room" expecting to get hit with an undescribable odor. Nope... first thing I saw was a very nice loveseat with a coffee table desk and nice desk chair and everything was spotless...no bugs hidden no missed areas of cleanliness.... honestly I'm still in shock...it just proves that it can be done right
The guy who owns this place is awesome , the room is awesome and I finally got some rest, quit part of town and gas is next door , would love to stay again, thanks hotel 81
It was a great place to stay conveniently right off i40 rooms are nice hotel is quiet and the owners are very nice I recommend this place to anyone
Management (Jagar)is fantastic! Jagar has a great team that is attentive, ready, and willing to assist with your needs. The rooms are clean, well maintained and a great value! I work the oil fields here in Oklahoma and I'm away from home for 6 weeks at a time, this is where stay!
Great value, rooms kept clean and parking area is very safe.
If you’re a worker on the road it’s a perfect spot and great price for a weekly stay. The internet could be a lot better, but it works okay to game.
