The University of Oklahoma's campus is situated in Norman, meaning Norman hotels cater as much to parents and football fans on weekend trips as they do for the business traveler in town for just a night. Getting here is happily simple given the city's proximity to Oklahoma City—while Norman itself does not have an airport, Oklahoma City does and a shuttle service will take you from Will Rogers World Airport to any one of the Norman hotels or Norman motels. There are few truly high-end hotels here, but cheap Norman Oklahoma lodging and mid-range accommodation in Norman Oklahoma is incredibly easy to come by. If this sounds like what you are looking for, you may wish to take a look at the suggestions below.

Rooms here are air conditioned, come with free broadband and cable TV (HBO included), and are kept in a spotless state of cleanliness. What's more, there's an onsite restaurant, an outdoor pool of good size, a breakfast bar, and an exec suite with adjoining conference room.
