Idabel

Please be aware that this hotel is infested with ants I walked into my room and found a dead mouse in my uncovered electrical socket. The mail hotel manager likes to hit on the younger more attractive solo females when his wife is away. They will distort the truth well the lady female seems to only engage with the male customers. My room was small rarely got any service for room sanitation. I will give them points for being able to rekey the room key so quickly and we're being I will give them a $10 on customer service of that because that is my biggest obstacle is remembering that damn room key.

Don't go alone

We stayed here on Sat. nite Oct 2nd. We had fled (literally) from a nasty hotel in another county where we had had 2 nights reservation.  We were pretty desperate for a room & everything in Broken Bow & Hochatown was booked, due to it being a weekend, the Bigfoot Festival, and a gun show in the area. Being nervous about the place as we didn’t find too many recent reviews we asked the owner/innkeeper if we could look at the room before we booked & she had no problem taking us to a room with shower only. She then asked if we wanted to look at a different room that had a bathtub but we told her that the huge shower was fine. We paid for our room & brought our bags in. There was a rolling luggage cart available if you needed it. The room was dated in décor but as CLEAN as any room I have ever seen. The sheets were crisp & clean & there were plenty of pillows. The bathroom was spotless and there were plenty of towels. This is a former Microtel now owned by the woman & her husband for the last couple of years. I think they do most of the housekeeping too as she mentioned having to go clean a couple of upstairs rooms when she finished with our paperwork. The room is very basic with a med-sized TV with limited channels but there were enough choices to satisfy my husband who likes to watch TV before he goes to bed. There are no chairs in the room to sit on, no phone, and just a clothes bar instead of a whole closet to hang clothes in. There is a long ‘desk/dresser/table’ attached to one wall, but no chair if you needed to sit at the desk part to write or use a laptop or anything. There were plenty of packets in the bathroom of individual shampoos, conditioner, lotion, and 4 or 5 soap bars if I remember right. She had taken the time to arrange the amenities to look attractive and there were more than we needed. The beds were firm but comfortable and the air conditioner worked GREAT and was responsive to us tapping in our desired temperature for sleeping – which is more than I can say of some hotels.   The only down side is that they are not yet using the breakfast area and there wasn’t any breakfast of any kind offered. It was clean & decorated, but not used.  THAT was not a big deal to me, and my husband is not normally a fan of hotel breakfasts anyway, but we would have loved to have been able to get a cup of coffee in the morning.  I think that the owners should go to the local store and buy a cheap coffee maker, and offer to make coffee IF anyone wants it in the morning.  The owner was sweet, down to earth and we enjoyed our overnight stay. It didn’t appear there were many other guests and the hotel was quiet. We got a good nights sleep and I wouldn’t have any problem staying here again or recommending it to someone. I dont know of the have or offer wifi as we didnt ask nor need any during our stay.  The hotel is out on a loop that goes around the town. There is a huge gas station called Gasquatch 4.5 miles east on the loop that has gas, a real restaurant inside, a classic car collection to admire, snacks & food to go, and some souvenirs. I recommend stopping in there on your way in or out.

Clean comfortable room

I had been traveling around Oklahoma for over 3 weeks and had stayed in over 2 dozen different motels; some corporate but mostly independent properties. 

The price I paid, $108, for a night at the Idabel Inn was by far the highest and turned out to be a lousy value. Effectively, there was no internet. There was no breakfast. There wasn't even coffee.  Free parking and color TV were the only amenities. As advertised the room was simple and small and clean. The air conditioner set to 60 cooled the room to maybe 72. The guy and his wife were nice.
 
When the other guest and I said the internet wasn't working the proprietor blamed it on the ISP saying the only thing available in that area was satellite service. Well that and the WalMart range extender didn't extend the range beyond 40 feet. He said we should use our cellular data. Verizon is my carrier and I only got 1-2 bars which is enough for talk but not data.

As I was packing the m-cycle to leave In the morning, I mentioned staying in OK motels for weeks and this is the only place that failed to provide something for breakfast or even coffee. He said the county health inspector prohibits them from offering...anything. He did offer to fetch a coffee maker so I could brew a cup in my room before leaving.

I was desperate to finish and e-mail a time-sensitive document and stopped by a nearby competitor. They graciously offered the use of their speedy internet and to fill my travel cups with coffee. I noticed they also offered breakfast. Now that's hospitality.

Burn and Learn

Viewers listen here. This place is a wonderful place to stay. It’s American Owned. That’s a big plus. The owners and staff is so wonderful and sweet. I have been here each time I stayed in Idabel and its the only place I would recommend to stay in Idabel, OK. The service is great. The rooms are clean. I always have a warm welcome each time I’ve been. These people care about there guests. Go stay at this hotel you will be glad you did when you leave. 

The Best Spot to stay in Idabel OK

When we first arrived at the Idabel Inn in the lovely town of Idabel, OK it was a cold morning and we were worn out from a day of travel. It was refreshing to walk into the lobby of the Inn, elegant decor on the walls as well as a couple empty vending machines reassured that they have been very busy with guests. When showed to our room we were blown away by the size of the flat screen tv on the wall!!! Talk about luxury! Beds were beautifully made and we were surprised to see the splash of purple on the bathroom floor which brought great character to the room. Since it was 2am we did not spend much time lounging with guests in the lobby but went straight to bed. The next morning we were awaken by the sounds of happy quests waking up and ready to start there day, and we were right behind them. All in all we had an absolutely amazing time at the Idabel Inn, can’t wait for our next stay!!!

A night to remember.

I came in unsure after reading other reviews, and y'all, I LOVED it! There is a girl that works at the counter who is beyond helpful. My daughter truly loved this woman! Someone give that gal a raise! Lol. Honestly, everyone was so helpful. I will say that from about 4-8am it's a bit tough to get ahold of someone, but whoever you speak to is always extremely happy to help out and doesn't mind to go out of there way to make your stay wonderful. Y'all go stay, you won't regret it. 

AMAZING

The only reason for this Inn to get a 1 star rating is for its fair price (potentially the cheapest in town). I wish I have spent a bit more to stay at a better location than this. Most of the staff are rude and does not care if you are there. It seems like this is a family run business, where the worker just chill on the couch playing on their phones, while their kids just run around and watch TV/play video games like this is their home, in the Inn Lobby.

When we entered our room, we immediately noticed the staff that our bed sheet was not changed from previous guests and that they do not have a flat screen TV as the staff said (not that I expect one). They did came in to quickly change the sheet though. The next thing I find out is that their towel and pillow was very rusted with molds. Nothing is clean in their rooms and this place is like trash. Every time I walk in, I smell garbage and felt like I lived at a dumpster. They do not even bother changing our bed for the next day when we come back.

*Don't let their free breakfast fool you!* Their breakfast hour is very early and mostly for contractors. Their breakfast hour is only between 5AM-7AM, and they only have refrigerated bagels, waffles, and pancakes for you to put in the toaster, with 3 cereal selections.

*Don't let their free wifi fool you too!* Their wifi is extremely slow and your phone data most likely not work either. 

Do yourself a lesson and find a better place to stay, even if the price is double.

I wish I have paid more to stay at a better place for my vacation

This place is disgusting and the people here are rude and just as nasty. There was blood or poop soaked into one of the mattresses and the springs pushed through as well. The bathtub was nasty and had holes in it as well. No toilet paper, the carpet was filthy, people fighting, screaming, banging all night long, and room smelled terribly. After surviving the night, we got up and went downstairs to get a cup of coffee and maybe a donut but was told that their free Continental breakfast was over at 7:00 am. The coffee was still on, so I made myself and girlfriend a cup of coffee. I asked if I could have some creamer for the coffee and was told no because they lock everything up at 7:00 am. When we left at 9:00 am the guy at the front desk came outside and stated that I owed another 11.98 for the room. I got the receipt from my car and went back into the hotel and showed the guy that my receipt stated paid in full. NO BALANCE DUE. By the way the amount I was charged was $71.98, I paid $60.00 for the room, The actual cost for the room was $45.00. according to the internet price. So I do not know what these people are doing under the table but they are business crooks.Last but not least, the hotel back yard is swamp like and trash everywhere. The blow dryer on the wall appears to have the cord cut and a hole with the cord running behind the wall and hard wired to the back of the electrical socket. Fire Hazard! BEWARE

Disgusting! Do not stay here

I made my reservation online and the picture on the website looks great.  When I checked in, there was long, red hair in the bed, pubic hair in the tub, the bathroom floor was dirty and had mold, and the carpet was filthy, as it had not been vacuumed.  The extra lock on the door was broken.  There was lots of noise, coming and going.  I went out in the hallway and the desk clerk was there and I requested another room.  He said he would check on it.  Finally, I packed my bag and went to the desk and demanded another room, which they provided.  The heater did work but once it reached the set temperature, it went off.  I will NEVER stay here again.

If you want a clean motel that is quiet, do NOT STAY HERE!!!!

The hotel looked okay on the outside  but inside was very run down. The room smelled of mildew and Smoke. The room was just dirty nasty. Carpet was at least 15 years old and was super dirty, roaches,  water leaks, dirty AC filters. Just plain nasty !!!!!
