It says no smoking at the front desk, but someone smoked here. Not the staffs fault. The room was nice and bigger than I thought.

you got to drive thru the truck stop and avoid the semi trucks and avoid crater sized pot holes just to get to motel. The room has NO carpet, so the floor is cold. The refrigerator was all wobbly and not very cold. NO door on the bathroom so the person on the bed can see you on the toilet,no privacy in bathroom Only half a,roll toilet paper. Next ime we way stay in the next town and a nicer motel that was actually cheaper online. only stayed here cause it was closer to our destination.

The property was an older hotel that has gone through "some" renovations but is in need of much more. The lobby was locked when we arrived at 8pm which had me questioning the safety of the area. We were in room 107 and the sheets were not clean. It reeked of stale smoke even though it was a "No Smoking Property". There was a tan make up smear in the middle at the head of the bed and another unknown spot At the foot of the bed as well. We thought about asking for a new room, but the Reservation Desk Attendant had such a bad runny nose and sniffling so badly that I didn't want to go there. Be careful driving back to the hotel and make sure you avoid the pot holes as there are some really big ones.

Thank you for your feedback. My apologies about your experience here with us. Future stays will be more satisfying. We would have been glad to switch out rooms. The night window is there for purpose. Ring that bell and you will never have to enter the lobby. No close contact with the overnight gentleman who was sick was possible.

Very nice room, large and clean. Had a king bed along with a couch and of course refrigerator and microwave. TV has directv, which I think is the best one for hotels. Enjoyed chatting with the gentleman who checked me in. I would definitely stay here again if I was in the area.

Nice stay for night. Comfortable beds and pillows. If being charged for extra person then should at least get towel for each guest. Only had 2 towels for 3 adults?

Great place to stay in Checotah, OK.

The Walnut Inn in Checotah, OK. is the 'only' motel, there is a small one on the edge of town (not recommended!). Employees at the Walnut Inn are wonderful, I have stayed there for the last 5 years and always feel safe(I have always stayed in the bottom front). It is part of a truck stop and sports bar (only one in Checotah-fun and friendly bar to go to) and there is also a wonderful Mexican Restaurant on the property. It is comfortable/clean/could use some renovations but overall is a good price/safe. They don't have coffee pots in the room so I always bring a small portable one, but there is a microwave/fridge in room, as well as cable tv. Close to stores/town.

The Drive to it was a nightmare for anyone or a car. Huge Chug holes from truckers.Like a Buch of bombs went off. Truckers everywhere. Our room had no towels. Very outdated as from the 70's. Frig and microwave look like they came from salvation army or roadside pick up.

Sorry but this guest refused to pay for the pet fee and to check in. Hotel did not refuse service which he went ahead and told expedia. Now he is upset because expedia charged him for the reservation.

Checking in online should be good enough!

I made my reservation online and figured check in would be easy. When I got there the lobby was closed and I was given a form through the checkin window. So I had to stand in the cold and fill out the information I already filled out online when making the reservation. Why couldn't I simply show my ID? This was ridiculous and stupid, in my opinion. It's not 1985, online check-in should make things easier and smoother. Apparently people are impersonating other people to steal their room reservations. It was so ridiculous that I had to leave this review. The room was nice and just fine. The check-in process in the cold was what irritated me.

NO…NO…NO!!!

DO NOT STAY HERE!! Open nasty rafters in walkway ceilings on both floors. Motel is VERY OLD and in need of repair. I booked two nights and left at 8:00 AM after the first night. Could not stomach a second night. Refrigerator was old and rusty. Furniture was broken down and very old. Some of the bathroom linens should be thrown in the trash. They’re nasty. The odor in the room smelled moldy and musty. It should be a crime for hotels.com, or any reservations company to advertise this property. It’s HORRENDOUS!!

We stood outside in front of a security window to check in. This was at 4pm. The man never opened the door to the lobby. The vinyl floor inside the room was never washed, lots of daylight came through the cracks of the door and all the chrome in the room was pitted and rusty. The drawers of the nightstands had dirt in them and dead bugs.The only good thing about the room was the comfortable mattress. This place needs some tender loving care. It was too bad that the room was pre payed otherwise we would have walked out.
