Clean and comfortable!
by Kimcatus at Citysearch
This is definitely a five-star motel! No, they don't have a swimming pool, or a weight room, or free cappuccino, or even a phone in the room (but they have coffee and a phone available in their courtesy room). So why is it a five-star hotel? Because this is the cleanest hotel room I have ever stayed in! Especially for $39.99 a night, for both hubby and I! I think some of the bigger rooms are a little more, but still, extremely reasonable!
The check in process can be done online but you will have to call with your credit card to actually guarantee the room. The lady I talked to, Tammy, was super sweet and said that if nobody stayed in the room the night before, we could check in early.
When we pulled up, the place looked a little dumpy, but do NOT judge a book by its cover, people! The gentleman that checked us in was super nice and friendly and even asked how everything was when he saw us outside the room.
The room was small, yes but it was very clean and I think it had been recently remodeled. There were a couple tables by the bed, and a little table to sit at to use your laptop. The heater/ac was back in the corner of the room and it didn't get back to the bathroom (also small, but super clean), but there was so much flipping hot water we didn't need it! And the tub was big; and definitely clean enough I would not have hesitated to take a bath in it. I can't say that about every hotel room. Oh and there was a ceiling fan in the room, which is a nice touch as we like to have air stirring in our room.
The only bad thing was that there wasn't a lot of outlets and not a lot of room to put your bathroom stuff as there is just a sink, not a vanity. But still, that's not enough to keep me from staying there; I can adapt.
And the window opened! It was nice to feel some crisp, cold fresh air! I love Houston, but I do miss the crisp fresh air of my home state of Kansas sometimes. This place is out on the middle of nowhere, but the air is so clean and fresh; and I bet it's super pretty in the spring when everything is green.
So if you ever find yourself in the area, do NOT hesitate to stop here. The place is as clean as can be, the people are friendly and if you ever get a chance to try the proprietor's cake balls, do it, as they are delicious! He was telling us how he was trained as a chef and likes to cooks for the guests on holidays. I forgot to get his name, but everything smelled heavenly; I almost wished we had stayed another night!
This may not have all the amenities of a lot of hotels, but if you're looking for a clean, comfortable room at a decent price, this is a great place for that! We are definitely stopping here next spring when we travel to the area to visit family.

Looks Can Be Deceiving!

My finace and I went to a family reunion at Keystone Lake this past weekend and unfortunately waited until the last minute to try and get a cabin. Ha! It's Labor Day weekend so that didn't happen.
After searching on the internet for places to stay close to Lake Keystone, we came up empty handed. All we could find were motels. I've never stayed in a motel. I wasn't opposed to it...I guess they just have a bad rap. All I could think about were horror movies that start off in motel rooms. Creepy! I'm more of a hotel kinda gal.
We reluctantly booked a room at the Keystone Lake Motel. The pictures on the website looked ok. And with time running out, we didn't have much of a choice.
When we pulled up in front of the motel...I was a little mortified (my fiance wouldn't admit it, but he was mortified too). It definitely looked a little sketchy. Not much asthetic appeal from the outside. I wondered if they didn't keep the outside looking cute...what in the world would the inside look like?!?! I started picturing bed bugs, and smokey rooms, dirty bathrooms, mildew smells....etc.
We walked up to the front desk and rang a doorbell to be let into the office. We checked in and she handed us a key, yes a key...not a card to swipe. I was nervous. We walked to our room and met some unusual characters along the way...most of them taking their smoking break.
HOWEVER, when we got into our room I was pleasantly surprised. It was nothing like I had imagined. It was clean, smelled fresh, had fresh linens, and it was cute! I felt totally comfortable and safe. The beds were clean. The towels and restroom were clean. The bed was comfy...I slept like a baby. There wasn't any noise that woke us up during the night or in the morning. Oh, and the a.c. was cranked up nice and high...making me forget that it was 104 outside. :)
Long story short (sorry...this is way more than I intended to write)...I will be staying there again next year during our family reunion. Motels get a bad rap...I mean, maybe this one is the exception to the rule. I'm not saying I'm traveling from state to state checking out motels. But next time I'm forced to stay at one, I won't be such a baby about it. :)

Spacious, comfortable, and very well maintained.
by california atty2010 at Citysearch
I would recommend that anyone visiting Tulsa who would like a change from the commercialism associated with a large city to travel a mere thirty minutes and experience God's country in nearby Mannford. Traveling to Camelot Cancer Care for natural cancer treatment, I knew I needed to be in a peaceful environment... the owners and staff at Keystone Lake Motel provided it... and even went above and beyond the call of duty. For twenty-eight days they consistently satisfied each and every one of my requests, provided clean accommodations, were friendly, informative, and even entertaining. The owners live on site and work their tails off maintaining and upgrading the property. It amazed me that the rates were so reasonable while their rooms were spacious, comfortable, and very well maintained. Again, you're a mere thirty minutes drive from downtown Tulsa, two minutes from the local grocery store, horseback riding, and fishing. Did I mention that the views at Keystone Lake are breathtaking? I highly recommend it!
