What guests think

At Stay Inn Checotah, travelers describe a simple, budget stop with very friendly owners and staff, mixed cleanliness experiences ranging from very clean to reports of bugs and stains, and basic, older rooms that vary in comfort and upkeep.

Guests mention hard or comfortable mattresses depending on the room, thin bedding or loud heaters in some units, and occasional maintenance issues like door gaps, weak lighting, and slow drains. The setting is generally quiet near the highway and lake area, though a few found it farther from the interstate or amenities than expected.

We arrived about 9pm. The windows were so dark we thought it was closed. No sign lit up. The lady helping us tried her best. We reserved 2 rooms but only 1 was ready bc we reserved late and they hadn't noticed the reservation. Thecreceptionist and another woman kindly made ready our second room. We thought. It was clean but no soaps, no voffee and a couple lights did not work. Not sure if they just acquired this property and are renovating or if the other empty rooms, and there wrre many, were worse. Nice people, great price, clean enough for 1 nite.

This hotel was very quiet, safe, and close to freeway. The bed was really comfortable and i have back issues so i was extremely happy to have a supportive mattress. The hotel isnt fancy but it does have everything you can need. It had much better cable tv and remote than a hotel that had cost me twice as much. The microwave was very clean and the bed was very clean and fresh. They allow pets for a small charge too. There is a nice deli in the gas station across the street that has delicious fresh sandwiches and burritos and pastries. Yum !!! There is also a small pond and nice grassy area behind the hotel which is great to walk your dog or kids to play.

First appearance was not bad Hotel staff was kind and helpful. Cleanliness - basically a “0” -come to realize a strip club is <1mile up the street- Stains, hairs, smells on the bed Shower had stains on the shower curtain/ small pieces of hair. Honestly, worst stay ever, left a bit traumatized….

I didn’t like that the room was left open prior to my arrival so it was very hot inside and there were several live insects that flew in. There were also lots of dead insects on the floor around the bed and toilet. The floor was all wet and dirty from the mopping attempt that I could see recently took place. My feet were blackened with dirt after walking on the floor after just a few hours of my stay. There were several holes in the comforter and some crumbs were on top of it. It felt pretty gross overall.

Check-in went easy but the room wasn’t ready. I had my dog so I had to pay a pet deposit. Came back after 3pm and went to my room. New flooring had been installed and their was a small refrigerator and microwave. Upon closing the door, I could see a large gap between the door and the frame. I had the lift up on the door handle to get the deadbolt to lock. The shower was leaking when used. On my second day, housekeeping did make my bed (which was the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on), but housekeeping didnt empty my trash or leave a fresh toliet paper roll.

The Ritz it ain't, but that's not what you're paying for. The owners are great and very accommodating. If they can make it happen, they will. The room we were in had a half sized fridge, a microwave, and a coffee machine. We were there to play the Dusk Til Dawn Blues Festival, and this was the perfect place to stay.
