Worst place I ever stayed in my 72 years. Stay anywhere else. If you can sleep here you’re not alive. The place is right on an all night long drag strip. We asked to be moved to the far end of traffic and were told that the rooms hadn’t been cleaned at 4:00 pm. Refrigerator never turned on and didn’t work. The safety lock was busted off the door. I guess they forgot breakfast and are saving the Kleenex for themselves.

The staff do not respond to the phone, or the door in a timely manner (or at all). But it's not a bad place to stay as long as you get there at a decent time to check in. The lights flicker sometimes, might be a little haunted, but not bad for the price, although personally I think it should still be a bit cheaper.

The property was EXTREMELY UNCLEAN! The toilet didn't work, the smoke alarm was ripped apart, the room was supposed to be non-smoking but was not, etc. etc. etc. Also, the lobby was closed and room keys were provided through a small window. Finally, the staff were EXTREMELY RUDE!

Absolutely no amenities. No coffee machine, not even in the lobby either, I don't believe. Still using the "Night Check in Window". it's a stuffy little add on off of the main lobby. All that being said room was clean and cheap and for this trip it was what I was looking for.

This was one of the worst hotel stays we have had and that's saying a lot because we were staying in Sallisaw. These rooms are infested with baby roaches, walls look like someone peed on them, and all bedding had disgusting blood stains. When we tried to reach a manager to let them know we have called everyday since we left as well as expedia and there is never a manager to speak to. We were forced to book another two rooms at another hotel after one night of our fully paid week. We chose to pay for two rooms all over again because of how bad it was. The management is a joke, the front desk is rude when trying to get ahold of management, and the rooms are DISGUSTING!!! If grown men who work on dirty job sites all day are refusing to stay in this hotel theres a reason.

Prime example of don’t judge a book by its cover. Outside seems a bit sketchy and run down, but the room interiors were clean and recently updated. You can’t go wrong here, especially for the price. If you’re planning a night out in the downtown area, this is a great value and easily walkable to all the nightlife.

The room was OK. It didn't seem to be located in a really safe place. We had 2 little dogs and it showed $10.00 each and they charged me $15.00 each. It isn't a big deal except for not charging what it showed. The man that checked me in wasn't very nice. I'll be making this trip pretty often but I won't be staying there anymore. The ARC Hotel is higher but its worth the difference.
