This hotel is typically our hotel of choice when in Norman. Yes, there are nicer, more plush hotels in the area, but they are also much more expensive on football weekends. From what I understand, the hotel is owned by the US postal system and was initially built for training. The rooms were built to house 1 postal employee. I mention this because the rooms are smaller than your typical hotel room. That doesn't bother us though. The location of hotel is great in proximity of the OU campus. Not walkable, but close enough. My husband takes advantage of the workout facilities - full size basketball court, Olympic size pool, etc... Lastly, the complimentary breakfast is pretty nice. It is served buffet style and has just about anything you can think of food wise, including a custom omelet station. The hotel staff is always accommodating and very nice.

I really love this hotel. It has changed so much since COVID. We would stay here during OU football season. The location is amazing, the facility especially the lobby. Staff is very welcoming.

The hotel is not back to their standards from COVID. Before COVID, football fans were welcomed with so much. Now not so much. Restaurants are barely open. Bar has limited food menu. Do not have the buses to take us to the games anymore. Hopefully this property will get back to before COVID standards. This hotel being so close to the OU Football field is such a plus. One more thing and probably all the hotels in Norman do this but during football season since COVID they double the cost of their rooms. Wish they would not do that.

The hotel is in an excellent location when visiting the OU campus. We appreciate the complimentary breakfast - lots of options including custom omelets. They do not have decaf coffee out, but my husband just asks, and they bring him a whole pot.

My only suggestion would be to have the restaurant/bar open late after evening football games. Also, I noticed that on some football game weekends, there is now a two-night stay minimum. For us who don't need that second night, we will have to look elsewhere now (at least on those weekends).

This property is an athletic paradise. The amenities alone are phenomenal, seriously!

The rooms are dated but they’re not terrible. If you’re looking for a high end type suite this may not be the facility for you. The room is clean , gets really cold and perfect for housing my belongings while I enjoy the amenities on site. I think if your plan is peruse the facility and visit OKC then getting this room is your best bet. It’s large, affordable & the breakfast is amazing !

Breakfast was fantastic with great selections that included hot food (e.g. omelettes, pancakes, bacon, and sausage) fresh fruit, muffins, and hot and cold cereals! The pool is huge with lap lanes and a big open swimming area, and the fitness room was clean, roomy, and well maintained. Overall the conference center was clean and nicely kept. The outdoor walking track was nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was quiet, and the bed was very comfortable. Overall, the conference center was A+ terrific!

The "Premium King" room was cramped - too small for two people but would be suitable for a single guest. Almost no room for suitcases, hanging up clothes, hanging damp towels, etc. Tubes of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash that were supplied in the room were tiny and inadequate for two people for even 2 nights. No maid service for replenishing toiletries or replacing wet towels. No microwave. The room did not feel "premium." Also, the building was under construction from storm damage with areas roped off and equipment everywhere outside - and apparently it has been like this for over 6 months! C'mon, let's get those broken windows replaced, guys!

For OU functions, you can't beat the location of NCED. It's very convenient. Yes, the rooms are small but very comfortable. We are never in the room except to sleep so the size is not an issue for us. The complimentary breakfast is a bonus. Again, it's not a 5-star restaurant but the buffet has numerous options and is good.

We wish the bar would have been open later. The OU game was a late game, and we would have liked to grab a drink on our return to the hotel.

Friendly staff. Variety of onsite food/meals options. Large outside pool, Fitness room, billiards room. Comfortable and very clean bedroom. Amenities as described. Convenient to Norman and surrounding attractions. Highly recommend.

Layout of the bathroom was cramped. Will upgrade the room when staying at this hotel again.

The NCED hotel is always a pleasure to stay at. The location is close to OU. The rooms are small but very comfortable. The complimentary breakfast is also a plus.

I've noticed that just a normal decibel-level voice outside your room can be heard quite well inside your room. Depending on where your room is located, it can be annoying. Also, the breakfast this time around was just okay. The eggs were cold and the orange juice was kinda watery.

The room was clean, bed comfortable, and the breakfast buffet was awesome. They will freshly prepare omlets, waffles, pancakes etc... and then you have a buffet with fresh fruit, yogurts, pastries, eggs, bacon, sausage and more. The amenities are great. Each day I would go relax by the pool and read my book and each night I sat in one of the 2 giant hot tubs. It was a great relaxing trip. I have already booked NCED for my next stay in Norman.

We were looking for an outdoor pool and boy, did we find an amazing one! Breakfast was also excellent, but it was truly the friendly staff that made the most difference in our stay. The desk clerk walked us nearly to our room, the breakfast host and table clearing folks were the best--friendly, but were very intuitive about how much conversation we wanted to engage in. (Lots, apparently. ha)

Room a bit small, and that's looking for a gripe.
