Montford Inn — Hotel in Norman

Stop looking and book your stay!!! The Montford Inn is top notch in hospitality and creature comforts!!! Phyllis and William, the innkeepers, are professional but quite friendly and accommodating. They genuinely cared about every detail pertaining to my stay. The toilet handle broke on my toilet. Hey, it happens, right? And, it was replaced within the hour. William stepped onto the front porch and greeted me with a down-home “hello” , within just seconds after I pulled into the circular drive. It was as if they were eagerly awaiting my arrival. I loved that! His gesture made me feel not only welcomed but like I had just come home which was so refreshing after a long night of “red eyes” and hustling through airports. William was also quite the gentleman and wholeheartedly carried my suitcases from my car to my room upstairs without asking if I needed assistance. Actually that’s kind of a chore because I don’t travel light! Lol! It was also much appreciated as I was traveling alone and very tired. Phyllis and William are genuinely super nice people who care about their guests. I stayed in the Hearthstone and it was a perfect fit for just one guest. The bed is high off of the ground and is at a perfect viewing angle for watching the TV. The room is on the second floor and has a bay window that overlooks the patio area. The patio area is elegantly lit at night time which provided a soft glow through the window in the evenings. I loved the view from the bay window because it was all flowering tree canopies with birds, so serene and pretty. The back patio area is a retreat in itself. It’s well decorated and outfitted with comfortable seating for enjoying a glass of wine in the evening, an extra cup of coffee or picnicking in the afternoons. Phyllis is quite the baker as well!! I enjoyed fresh homemade chocolate chip cookies every afternoon. It was hard not to take one each time I passed through the living area of the inn. They are absolutely mouthwatering and can be found in the “always open” well stocked coffee bar. I started my mornings off with fresh coffee, a gourmet breakfast and the Montford’s signature smoothie all of which was always served hot and with all the feels of southern hospitality. The dining room is intimate with an early American farmhouse vibe. And, btw, who doesn’t want to sit by a window gazing out at beautiful flowering gardens, towering trees and sweeping lawns of green grass while quietly sipping a fresh hot cup of coffee on a summer morning? Especially with the smell of bacon sizzling on the stove in the nearby kitchen?? What I loved is that breakfast was always made fresh and not served as warmed up leftovers from the fridge!! Oh so delish!! This beautifully decorated country inn is nestled in an older, quaint and very quiet neighborhood in Norman and is within a short, comfortable walking distance to all of the best wildings in Norman, such as Campus Corner and Main St. My personal advice, don’t google earth this place. I did and the exposures from Google earth did it no justice whatsoever. I was wonderfully surprised by its more country than prairie type aesthetics. The front porch alone makes you want to abandon your unpacking mission altogether so as to grab a glass of ice tea and a rocking chair!! The Montford Inn is a true gem that must be experienced in person. I am a B&B’er and reside in the Palm Springs area of SoCal. Throughout time, I have stayed in beautiful inn’s along the Northern California coast, as well as, in the popular mountain regions of Southern Cali such as Lake Arrowhead. The Montford Inn truly ranks with the best of the best. It’s also a very short and easy jaunt from Will Roger’s Airport. My heartfelt suggestion is that you do right by yourself by giving yourself the best of the best when traveling to the Oklahoma City / Norman region. The Montford Inn is, without a doubt, a 5 star home...

Excellent stopover on our road trip. Highly recommended. Delicious breakfast. Friendly welcome. Relaxing atmosphere. Family owed and operated. Thank you Phyllis for the delicious homemade cookies that we enjoyed for our dessert and for your delightful conversation at breakfast. ||Beautifully decorated but not a fussy inn. Clean. Central air was just the right temperature. Quiet lovely music. Nice tree sheltered landscaping and sitting areas out back and comfortable seating on the front porch. Though it was too hot outside for us to sit outside when we arrived, it cooled down at night. Loved the comfortable king sized bed. We prefer cozy and a dark room for sleeping so we chose The Legend room. We were not disappointed. Very private and quiet room yet conveniently located on the first floor. Great parking in the rear. Appreciated the ramp for rolling our suitcases to the room. Felt like a very safe neighborhood. ||We walked to Main Street for dinner, just a couple of blocks away, and had several restaurants to choose from. Ate small plates at the Ramen Restaurant. Very tasty. ||The breakfast was amazing…all cooked from scratch and served by William, with help from his wife, Leigh Ann, inn owners (founded and built as a business partnership with William’s parents). We had a refreshing yogurt fresh fruit blend, delicious coffee, fresh cut fruit, muffins filled with yummy coconut, pineapple, raisins (just the right amount of sweetness), and a baked omelette with cut up peppers and vegetables folded inside the omelette. ||One of the best places we have ever stayed. ...

I wanted something special since this was a big weekend for my husband and I... it was his 50th Birthday. A co-worker recommended "Hidden Hollow", so I made the reservation. Neither of us had ever stayed at a Bed and Breakfast, so I was a bit hesitant because I thought it would be like staying at my grandma's house in a room right next to other people. What I didn't understand when I made reservations was that we had rented an entire house/cottage. I was SO EXCITED when Phyllis showed me where we would be staying for the night! And the best part was the price... Not much more than a hotel in Bricktown/Downtown OKC, BUT you get so much more...

"Hidden Hollow" had a large bathroom that had a heart shaped bathtub built for two people, a kitchen area, one large bedroom, and a living/dining area. It was amazing!! The room was clean and had the cutest decorations throughout the cottage. There was a screened-in-porch with a big swing... the location was private and very quiet, even though it is directly off one of the main streets in Norman. There was gardens surrounding us, and semi-private sitting area a few steps out the side door. The bed was comfy and the whole stay was relaxing and romantic!! Breakfast the next morning was equally as nice. They served a quiche, fruit salad, some kind of amazing muffin, and a fruit smoothie. All very delicious! HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this location!!! We will be back... and...
