This location is family owned. The staff were all very friendly. Our room was a pleasant surprise! We weren’t sure what to expect due to the low price, however, it was a great relief to have a nice, clean and comfortable room to stay in. We will DEFINITELY stay here again!

Def stay again
We had a good stay. A on the remodel for the cost of the room and where you are staying. Gentleman at the front desk was nice and accomodating. His wife the following day was very friendly and made sure we enjoyed our stay. It is a remodeled motel outside still needs work as do the registers in the room. But beds were comfy and the room was clean. Was cleaner than most properties we stay at that cost more. Would not hesitate to stay again. It is hard to get back out if you have a trailer on.

The motel is older but had everything we needed to be comfortable. We read some of the reviews before booking and took a chance anyway. Some people want an economic value but expect the Marriot. The front desk was very friendly and called me shortly after we departed to let me know I forgot my pillow. We will stay again. Google maps will take you past the motel.

Recommended!!
We chose this place because it was the cheapest in the area and weren't expecting much. We were pleasantly surprised to find a very clean room with a new bed. The owner is on site and very accommodating. They even gave our truck a jump when the battery died so we were able to go get a replacement without hassle. The property was quiet at night without the usual "chaos" we've come to expect when staying in motels. I highly recommend Hometown Inn to everyone who wants a cheaper room with a higher standard.

Hometown Inn is convenient, close to campus and the restaurants on Richland like McDonald’s, McHappy’s and Purple Chopsticks. My room was clean and spacious, as well as newly renovated and the bed was so comfortable! Definitely going to stay here again and wish that I knew this existed before now!! Daughter is a Senior at OU!!

Pretty nice inside, outside looks a bit sketch but the parking is convenient, the price is right, no bugs, and everyone was really nice! My one gripe (not the owners fault) is that it's a little hard to find the driveway, Google maps won't take you directly to it, and you'll probably drive past it the first time. It's off a side road, not the highway. Would stay again!
