+ Quirky, fun motel + Friendly staff + Good location for where I needed to be - Door was locked, had to call to check in - Can be hard to find if you're driving south on Classen - Went to plug in the (supplied by the motel) hairdryer last night, tripped the GFCI over the sink (and probably the circuit breaker) and in the bathroom for the remainder of my stay. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here. I like the decor. I understand things happen and life goes on. Would I stay here again? Probably, especially if have a repeat appointment early the next day. read more

First of all, had difficulty getting the code to work in order to access our room. Once we got into the room, the AC was making a horrible noise that would not go away. We left to attend a wedding and returned late- AC was still making a racket and no one was in the office at that time. We had a horrible night trying to sleep with the noise from the AC and the street noise. Next morning, the shower pressure was low, and the water temperature kept fluctuating. I went to the front office to find out if we could move to a different room. The only way to get in touch with someone was through email. I sent an email asking for a different room. I didn't hear back and so we made the decision to check out early. I didn't hear from anyone until late afternoon. The whole atmosphere was not our taste. We didn't appreciate the "art work" in our room either. We won't be staying here again. I should have researched this place a little more before booking. read more

Let's get the good things about Classen Inn out of the way: you get what you paid for. It's a decent "good enough" inn that provided "good enough" service and amenities, that is, if you're OK with getting bare minimum. Classen Inn is definitely an experience I don't regret trying; but it's not a place I'd go back to. The room is pretty; but a pretty room can only do so much if comfort and safety is jeopardized. (See attached for my room). It's cute and a wonderful aesthetic for photos. However, I'm glad I brought my own hygiene kit. Toothbrush & toothpaste weren't provided, and the body soap container was empty. There was trash/napkins inside the bin. The bed's mattress has seen better days. While I showered, some worm/bug was crawling on the tile floor. At 10AM next morning, I walked to my car and saw a homeless man sitting near the entrance of the Classen Inn office talking to himself. The Inn is not exactly located right at the heart of downtown, so just be cautious of your surroundings. If you're looking for a one time experience of a retro design inn, this is a good start, but I'll be looking elsewhere in the future. read more

Classen Inn - Saturated version of my room. - Hotels Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

First I'll state the obvious: The Classen Inn is cute. As shown in the photographs, they've put a coat of bright-colored paint on a neglected '60s motel and done a lot of work to modernize the place. But a few years in, the new owners seem to have dropped some of the amenities originally offered. Our room was colorfully decorated. The retro mural is fun. The retro bench is less so; it's the only seat in the place besides the bed, and it's not adequate for sitting with a book or computer--and it's definitely only for one. The bed, though billed as a queen, seems to be full-size. The a/c worked just fine and was easy to adjust with the remote. We kept the fan running around the clock because the room was stuffy. We didn't make coffee in the room because the apparatus provided didn't look adequate for the job. I see some other reviews mentioning the cheeky art in guest rooms... I'm not offended by it; it seems incongruous with the building's era but no biggie. Finally, the much-acclaimed Superette was locked up, from our evening check-in through our late-morning check-out. The patio space looked to be available; we could've brought our own drinks and snacks and hung awhile there. There were no in-room snacks mentioned in earlier reviews. There was no friendly staff on hand--just emailed instructions. In all, this was a fine place to stay. The price seemed more appropriate for a place with a few more extras. If the price works for you, give it a try! read more

Received a call to ask what time I would be there... weird since it wasn't even close to check in time yet.. told her what time and when I got there at that exact time the office was closed! Had to call a number listed in the window. Ok .. The room is Ok. On the main road. Lots of trash and debris around. Was advised it was due to the wind. Ummmmm ok. Inside the room was cute. One problem there was only 1/2 roll of toilet paper which ran out. Went to the office... it was closed! Called the number again... left a message and never heard back . Yes you can hear the traffic. Shower pretty big but low pressure. Next time will drive past read more

Classen Inn - Queen bed ? - Hotels Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Had to check in over email due to a flight delay, and they were super accommodating! Since they use keyless entry/ passcodes arriving late was no issue at all. The room was cute and very clean. The location was absolutely perfect for my vacation as well. I would definitely stay here again. read more

WARNING CATFISH HOTEL! Where do I even begin?? Please read!!!! My husband and I are not picky people and really just needed a place to sleep over the weekend while we were in town. The rooms are tiny and the walls are paper thin. Bed is very small- Full size. We have a queen at home and it is not a queen. Think college dorm room accommodations. All of the cute pictures you see online- do not shine through in person. It was dingy and felt more like a rent by the hour type place- if you catch my drift. The decor in our room was so odd. Lots of semi-nudity artwork. Also, the search history on the tv was pretty wild. e.g. "Sex music". Location is not great. You can hear all of the traffic and riff raff outside. Lots of sketchy people around the property. Multiple times we heard altercations outside between motel guests and strangers around the property. Our biggest complaint is the fact that there was an all out BRAWL in the middle of the night directly outside of our room in the parking lot. We were actually scared to even stand up out of bed, because there was talk of a gun outside. It was completely insane! The police even showed up! Sirens, lights, fighting, screaming and a gun. We were both anxiety ridden all night and didn't sleep a wink. Fighting continued throughout the night as well. DO NOT STAY HERE. Swing by and take a picture for the gram if you want, but do NOT stay here! $100/night is ridiculous for what you get. NOT worth it. Also, all the cute stuff you see in the pictures in the room and lobby and ridiculously marked up. We were charged $4.35 for 2 generic small water bottles. Oh yeah, one last thing, we were in town celebrating our anniversary. Put it on the reservation and it was never once mentioned. Left a message with front desk staff for management to contact me- still haven't heard anything. I was also told that I was not the only guest who was waiting on a call back from management. read more

Fun! That's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of this place. I love color and this place certainly doesn't lack in it. From the lobby to the grout in the bathroom tile, there's plenty of lively colors and I couldn't get enough of it. As a place to stay, this was top notch for anyone that wants a staycation, a place to crash after an event or is only in town for a short while. There's not much extra space in the room, but if you're traveling light then you won't need it. But it has all the amenities you need, such as a fridge, hair dryer, electric tea pot for coffee and a fantastic a/c system. The a/c was a huge perk because you can control it and it wasn't taking up space in the room. It worked quite well! The other technology perk was the smart TV, which enabled you to seamlessly login to all your steaming channels and watch your shows. And if you need a snack, the options in the room are REASONABLY PRICED. That definitely makes them quite tempting. The room decor is fantastic! Our room had a globe-strobe light, creating a star-filled ceiling. There are strong 1960s/free-love feelings and it's a fun change for a hotel room. I'll definitely be back for another night out and a mini escape from the city. The icing on the cake is that you don't have to pay to park and your car is right outside your door. read more

I had a great stay at the Classen Inn! The outside patio and Superette are just as cute in person as online! We enjoyed ordering takeout tacos from REV down the street and eating on the patio to enjoy the nice weather. The queen room was pretty small, but I still felt like it was reasonably priced for the experience. While we were staying, there was plenty of parking in front and on the side of the motel. We felt perfectly safe and secure in the area, unlike a lot of the other reviewers. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a cute place to stay and enjoy a little kitschy mid century modern flair! read more

Super cute motel. Gives off Palm Springs vibes. We loved it here! Would definitely stay here again!

Fun, hipster-inspired renovation of this cool Sixties motel on Classen. Reasonable rates, but sketchy neighborhood surrounding. (Be careful if you go out on foot after dark.) read more

Classen Inn has more style packed into one room than most hotels have in the entire building. I love the bright, funky design that's woven into each element - the exterior colors, the lobby/bodega, and the rooms. There are even unique snacks in each room! During my stay, I ended up hanging out in the Superette for a while and enjoyed their fantastic selection of wine. I can't wait until it gets warm so I can go back and sit on the Palm Springs-style patio! My friend and I had adjoining queen rooms for our stay with our own private patio. Located close to Midtown, Downtown and West Village, Classen Inn is the perfect place to stay if you're in need of a staycation or just passing through! read more

We just spent a great Saturday night "staycationing" at the Classen Inn. We celebrated a friends bday by booking these adjoining rooms. The rooms are so adorably kitsch with lots MCM appeal. EXTREMELY clean and the bed and pillows were comfy. We forgot an ice bucket for the champagne but the awesomely friendly & helpful motel staff hooked us up. They provided a very large and festive ice bucket and the champagne glasses as well. The patio area was a great way to chill out after a night visiting restaurants and bars in the area. Great place to step back in time and unwind. Felt very safe and comfortable. Highly recommend. read more

I stayed at the Classen Inn when it first opened as a staycation and to check out this newly remodeled motel. Wow! The level of detail is really remarkable. From the hand-painted murals and local art/photography in each room to funky wallpaper to the fun and vibrant mini-mart and outdoor patio, it's really a one-of-a-kind stay. The mix of artistic touch, vintage vibes, and modern electronics (smart TV, fast wi-fi, touchpad locks, etc...), allows for a fun, relaxing environment where you can still easily connect if/when needed. If you're from out of town, skip the Holiday Inn and book a couple nights here for an enjoyable and unique experience. The Classen Inn is conveniently located in the heart of Oklahoma City, situated within short biking distance of downtown and the local shopping and dining districts - don't worry, they even have bikes and helmets you can check out for free! If you're from Oklahoma City, I'm sure you've passed by this motel a number of times while driving on Classen. And, I'm sure you've noticed the beautiful renovations and facelift over the past year or so. Do yourself a favor and book a little staycation so you can check out the incredible details on the inside while relaxing in style. read more

You walk into the front office/lobby combo to check in. Makaela greets you and gets everything set up. Instead of a room key, you get a card with a door code and complete instructions on how to enter and exit your room. The also hosts the Superette, a convenience store with everything you need to complete your stay, from wine, beer, sodas, and snacks you can grab something to enjoy right there or take it back to your room. There's also complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby space. And let me tell you, that tea spills it all with its catchy names and timely political references. My favorite is the RBG tea because In Ruth we Trust. After you get your card, head to your room and enter via a tech savvy Yale lock, and walk in and absorb the Googie vibes and 1960's decor. It's a whole mood and I am here for it. The detail to the art, decor, and even the chenille bedspread gives homage to the retro feel Classen Inn not only tries for, but nails perfectly. The room amenities include a smart television, alarm clock, a retro Frigidaire mini fridge, water kettle with tea and coffee, the best smelling soap and lotion (this brand is my new fav), and a Mini-ette. What's a Mini-ette? A small version of the Superette from the lobby right in your room for you to enjoy! The open shower concept is so relaxing and makes washing off the day even better. The room is temperature controlled with a remote that is Wifi connected to the a/c and heater combo-nothing is more important than being comfortable and you can control it from your fingertips. The Classen Inn offers FREE bike and bike helmet rentals so you can explore OKC while cruising around in style. The outdoor patio area has different seating for whatever you're there to do-get some work done, have a happy hour, or enjoy the sunset. The location is close to spots like Sunnyside Diner or Revolucion that you can walk to and enjoy a bite. Add the Classen Inn to your itinerary for your next Staycation or visit to OKC-you won't be disappointed. read more

We stayed for an overnight staycation and this place was an absolute DREAM, it should not be overlooked when looking for a place to stay in OKC.

A lot went wrong here! I literally couldn't get in my room for the night, no one was answering the phone or email, had to get another hotel for the night. Next day, the lady made it seem like it was my fault. She did notify me she as leaving early but still, she is the one that left hours early and no one was there to stay if needed. I wasn't the one that gave the wrong code along with 2 different room in the email from the hotel to check in. I was so excited to stay here and but not only did I not get to stay here, I got an attitude about this whole fiasco from the lady in charge the next day. read more
