This is not a reputable business. It is clearly managed offsite with no regard for what is going on at the location. When we arrived we were informed that there was not a room for us (despite us having received a conformation email from OYO) and the man working the desk mentioned that he has had to explain this to multiple people that night. From what I can tell OYO just sent whoever owns this building a box of logo signs and doesn't care how they maintain the facilities as long as they get a cut. Even the lobby was disgusting. Tons of hand-written notes from the landlord threatening to evict tenants for miscellaneous transgressions. Yes, tenants. It seems to be an apartment building which rents out the rooms it can't sell as "hotel rooms." Believe the reviews on Google. I expected gross (I even brought a painter's sheet and my own sheets and pillows), but gross, un managed, and liars about their vacancy was farther than I expected. To top it off, Expedia doesn't even have a customer service number anymore so I can't request a refund from them either! IF YOU RESERVE THIS YOU ARE NOT TAKING A GAMBLE. IT IS CERTAIN THAT YOU WILL HAVE A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. TAKE HEED!

When we arrived to OYO HOTEL, we quickly noticed that the pictures do not resemble the actually place at all. The lobby was full of several handwritten notes with threatening messages, including one mentioning an individual named “Stev-O” who could enter your room at night. We felt completely unsafe and immediately decided to leave the property and find new accommodations. Later, we read news and reports about this place and found disturbing information: The OYO chain doesn’t seem to officially recognize the hotel, suggesting its association with OYO is a façade. The place used to be called Holly Hotel and had the same complaints. The place is also reportedly uses as a shelter for the homeless and has been reported to not even comply with basic safety regulations to be a homeless shelter! In line with our impression that the place was unsafe, we later found reviews in other platforms that “guests” are trapped overnight in the premises because the “staff” locks the doors at night with no way to open them. Additionally, we found reports by residents from Bradford of illegal activity, including crimes in the so-called hotel’s premises. The worst part of this story is that Expedia simply stated the reservation was not refundable and that OYO had “declined to refund” our reservation. OYO apparently must accept the refund for Expedia to process it. This is clearly not a normal situation. Do not book with OYO.

The mattresses are stained, so is the carpet. The lock between adjoining rooms is broken and someone walked into my room unannounced. The toilet doesn’t work there’s no hot water and it looks like a crime scene. Roaches were a nice added touch

Cancelled my reservation before check-in. Desk attendant was nice, told me the hotel was also used to provide government subsidized housing to ex convicts on parole and otherwise incapable people. Place looked extremely dirty and in complete disrepair, so I'm actually glad that I didn't have to check into that place.

This old hotel is in terrible disrepair. It is now a flop house. It is probably also used as temporary space for mentally ill unhoused people. One was repetitively cursing at the top of his lungs most of the night. Minimal staff was unprepared for my arrival and did the bare minimum to put me in a room and provide bedding

Disgusting
It was essentially an abandoned building with zombies walking around, and by zombies I mean junkies. There's got to be better homeless shelters. They didn't have pillows, blankets, towels, TV, etc... It looks like it's never been cleaned. Apparently the salvation army sends homeless people there on vouchers and that's it's primary use. The fact this place is listed as a hotel is absolutely atrocious. I've stayed in some pretty bad places and this is by far the worst.

They waited till the last minute to inform me my room choice wasn't available. Then had no direct number to the hotel online anywhere. Their phone service would not answer the phone.

Luckily we were allowed to see the actual room we would have stayed in. It was atrocious. Mold, bugs, dirty, reaked of smoke and decay. My date refused to stay and so will you most likely. Save yourself the hassle and pass. If the price seems to good to be true it's because it is. Run to anything else and you will be better off.

When I finally found the hotel, my heart sank as I took in the dilapidated surroundings. Everything about the area & building screams "FLOP HOUSE!!!" As I was frankly desperate for accommodations, I walked into the lobby anyway. Published check-in time is 3:00 pm. I arrived at about 3:40 AND MY ROOM HAD ALREADY BEEN GIVEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. The room I'd reserved had a full bath & 2 queen beds. The one I was offered in exchange had a single bed & a shared bathroom in the hall--Not ideal for my 91 y/o mother who was with me. I was also offered an additional night's stay for free, which was no help at all when I absolutely needed to leave promptly the next morning. Speaking w/a local gentleman later, he informed me that the "Holley" is, "the worst hotel in town." I certainly hope he was right; if there's a worse hotel in Bradford than the Holley, I shudder to think what it might be like.

The hotel was horrible. We went to check in and we sat in the "lobby" for over 20 minutes while they "found us the best room." So the room he takes us to had no TV, was very old and only a sink and a toilet. There was no wi fi, no shower and was the size of a closet. The guy was very nice but he said that the two floors have shared bathrooms. It was awful. It was almost scary. Tun! Do not go there.

The staircase was grand! I loved the high ceilings and the staff were polite and helpful. Everything was clean and I felt safe in my room. I would describe it as more of a hostel environment than a hotel though, which was exactly what we were looking for and for exactly the right price. Parking was easy and plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance, with its location on Main St. The OYO is clearly a fixture of the local community and I'm pleased some of the building's charm still peaks through despite the necessary renovations.
