Basic motel not too far from campus. Staff was very helpful. Room basic but clean and quiet.

Great place for the price. Bed was comfy. A new coat of paint would go a long way. The shower head is not made for tall people. All in all, I’d stay there again. It was nice a close to OU which was the reason for our visit. Super quiet. The road construction on the front street was a bummer. Bottom line is that we got to see our daughter during parents week and didn’t have to go bankrupt to do so, though the price was inflated due to the occasion.

This is a small roadside motel. The current owners have put a lot of effort into upgrading the facility. Rooms were clean and quiet. Great place to get a good nights rest. Staff was courteous and friendly. Room had a fridge and microwave. No frills or pool, exercise, food offerings. Good deal for the price.

Clean and inexpensive
Place is definitely worn. Exterior looks just plain bad. Interior needs updating but was nice and clean. Would recommend for a quick night stay.

Clean, comfy budget motel
The motel was clean and the beds were SUPER comfortable! The woman who checked us in (I was in Athens with my 16 yr old daughter visiting a friend) was very friendly! The door to the room only had a doorknob lock and it wasn't super sturdy. The chain lock was broken. And the door had a decent-sized gap between it and the door frame in some places. That all being said, I still felt safe enough and the rooms on the opposite end of the motel were being worked on and upgraded while we were there. I would definitely still recommend this motel! VERY good for the price!

Not a bad place to stay. What you would expect from a 65 dollar a night room. Relatively clean. Looks like they have done some recent painting. Staff is very nice. I would stay here again.

It fits the need. We had to stay overnight in Athens, OH after our visit to Ohio U and needed a place to sleep, so it was fine.

The Highlander has had some upgrades since my previous visit. The only negative was that the bed was VERY HIGH. There was an American high jumper named Dick Forsbury. I practically had to do the Fosbury Flop to get into the bed. Not everyone is tall, so this is an issue that should be resolved.

Not the cleanest place I’ve been to, has a lot of drug activity going on! But that’s my opinion no proof, we are smokers so was glad they had smoking rooms, the young lady at the front desk was very kind.
