The room was very very cozy. The staff were all on top of the game greeting me at the door, assisting with bags, and parking. Front desk was very polite and helpful with ideas for food. I did not eat at the lovely restaurant because I got in right at closing. However, at the college campus they had plenty of students working for door dash. The bed was comfy, the halls were quiet, & there is plenty to do nearby. 10/10
This is an awesome hotel. The staff are all students and are super friendly. Excellent well appointed rooms. This hotel has that touch of class without being over the top or pompous.
My husband and I stay here every summer for a weekend away. Our last visit was this past weekend and the service was the best it’s ever been. Kylie at the front desk was so incredibly helpful and kind. She went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. Thank you Kylie!! And thank you Atherton for a terrific weekend!
We stayed here to go to the Boys From Oklahoma concert, and the location from the stadium is amazing. It is within walking distance. The rooms were very clean, the students were great and the free breakfast was very good. My husband loved the toulet TV. Lol. Make sure you tell the parking people you want to valet.
You cannot beat the location. If you're coming to campus for anything, the location is ideal. Overall, a very nice stay. The beds were not the most comfortable and the standard rooms were tight, but it's a nice hotel. Complimentary breakfast was a great perk!
Absolutely perfect gem of a hotel! Rooms were well appointed with nicely scented toiletries and a TV in the toilet area (so funny!). The beds were comfortable. Breakfast is included and it had a range of hot and cold dishes in the buffet. We had dinner in the Rancher’s Club and it was excellent. Would come back… if our son goes to school here!
Amazing spot right on campus. Staff is so friendly and accommodating. Rooms are so cute and well designed. Wonderful breakfast too!
We stayed at The Atherton for two nights for a wedding that was nearby. Overall, I would recommend The Atherton over any of the other hotel options in the area. The furniture in the room was in need of a little refresh but was otherwise clean and well-maintained. My only complaint was that the bathroom had a strange design - the toilet was off center in the WC so it was really close to the wall which was a little awkward and the shower stall was tiny. Several other relatives were staying there and it sounds like the rooms all have slightly different layouts so it is probably the luck of the draw. The valet was quick and the staff was efficient. We really enjoyed the restaurant/bar in the hotel and had wonderful service there both nights.
Set on Oklahoma State University's Stillwater campus, this elegant redbrick hotel is 8 minutes' walk from the Gardiner Art Gallery, and 1 mile from Stillwater History Museum at the Sheerar.
