I got this hotel on an extremely good deal from a travel website, so I have to say the price of the stay was on par with the quality of the hotel and the room. We arrived late, and the parking lot was completely filled up, so we had to park next door at the Italian restaurant. We were a little nervous, but nothing happened since we were up and gone before the restaurant was even open. The hotel was not run down, but the front lobby was by far the cleanest and brightest part of the building. The fitness center was a tiny room with an elliptical, treadmill, and two weight machines. There is a snack and drink machine area, but it was very poorly stocked.

When we arrived, the staff that helped us seemed quite unprofessional. The main front desk clerk had on an untucked white dress shirt and was very lethargic about his job. The other employee was in a t-shirt and just looked like a random person behind the desk, especially because they chose not to help anyone while we were waiting.

The room was decent, with the bed not being the most comfortable, but it wasn't too hard to fall asleep and stay asleep. It was surprisingly quiet in the room, especially since we were on the first floor. Maybe the hotel was empty and no one was walking down the hallway, but we never heard any loud footsteps outside the door or above us. The lamps didn't all work, I suspect there were burnt out bulbs. The bathroom was very dirty and grimy. I felt like I had to wear socks in the bathroom at all times to not step on anything disgusting. It was hard to tell if there was paint or mold on the ceiling above the shower. I spent as little time in the bathroom as necessary.

For the price I paid, I'm fine with the stay. The location was great, since it was right off the highway, and made for a quick trip to downtown. There are better looking hotels around the area, so I'll likely be looking at the other properties in the area if I stay in OKC again.
