Review of Atherton Hotel

The rooms are very small and clean enough, but not very. My main complaint is that people walk around without masks and nobody says anything at all. This is inside OSU, where there's a mask mandate, signs everywhere, etc. This is inside a city where there's a mask mandate. However, the Atherton doesn't follow rules. They might have a small sign on the door, but that's it. Nothing reminding of elevator protocols, nobody reminding guests to wear masks. If you want to use the stairs, because people use the elevator without masks, they have to unlock them for you and they are outside the building. When I pointed out that people were not wearing masks all around, they told me that everybody follows the rules. That is, they blatantly denied the evidence that was before my eyes and did nothing.

ICU beds are scarce in Oklahoma at this moment. OSU is making a huge effort to keep open and keep students, faculty and staff safe. However, the Atherton gets a pass. Please, you need to follow safety regulations more closely. This is a public health issue.

As of now, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to feel safe.
