Basic overnight stay

We basically just needed a room for before and after a concert at Stuart's Opera House. It was just about right for that. The shower was nice, and the room was clean.

The room was just as I expected for the price. The AC worked great. The noise from the highway was not as loud as I expected considering how close it is to the hotel.

My brother and I got a room on the second floor with two queen beds. I had read many good reviews but was a little skeptical because of the price. When we walked up the stairs and I saw the porch floor was plywood, I was still a little skeptical. But when we got in the room, it was so nice! You could tell it had been fully renovated. It was neat and clean and looked brand new. The beds were comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great. I wish I could find a little motel like this to stay in every time I wanted to travel! If I ever stay over in Athens again, they have my business.

Before booking on Orbitz I called a female answered said I could have my ESA Dog as long as I had a letter from my doctor requiring my use of one as a disabled veteran. I then booked it and stayed two nights no problem then woke up to a male saying it don’t matter that I can’t have it but he will allow it this time. Literally all I did was stay long enough in the room to sleep and shower. The room was as clean as a place like that could be I guess. Out of 4 nights they maybe attended to the room 2times. The attitude of the guy there was very off putting.

Hometown Inn is convenient, close to campus and the restaurants on Richland like McDonald’s, McHappy’s and Purple Chopsticks. My room was clean and spacious, as well as newly renovated and the bed was so comfortable! Definitely going to stay here again and wish that I knew this existed before now!! Daughter is a Senior at OU!!
