Travelodge - Oklahoma City North

The lobby and lounge are actually cool, and our room was huge. It seems like this must have been a grand hotel back in the day. For $60, though, the room had a lot of problems: the bathroom sink leaked under the counter onto the floor, the only smoke detector had no battery, the floor seemed to shift when we walked, one light turned itself on and off, and the TV had no remote. Even with all of that, it’s the best $60 hotel I’ve ever stayed in!

Several of my family members stayed here for a reunion, and it worked out perfectly for all of us. The rooms are bigger than most houses or apartments, and the staff were excellent. It’s an older hotel in the middle of a remodel, but the comfort, safety, staff, and location beat other hotels by far. A hidden gem in the heartland!

The nice lobby fooled us into thinking the rooms would be good too, but this place was horrible. There were cockroaches, the bathroom faucet was coming loose, there were no light bulbs, and the phone only worked once. The carpet had burn holes, the woodwork was dirty with handprints, and the final straw was the door handle coming off as we tried to leave. We had two old TVs but had to share one remote. They also charged me twice and took a $50 deposit; it took five days to sort out the duplicate charge. Never again.

There were ants all over the dirty rooms, and when we asked for another blanket for my son on the pull-out bed, they refused to provide bedding for the second bed. The so-called breakfast was in a room so hot that the butter melted inside its packets. They had no bowls for the stale cereal, and the milk, orange juice, and apple juice were warm. I’ll never stay here again or recommend it.
