Black Angus Motel Poteau

It was dirty

The check-in was out of the ordinary. I had to stand outside - in the heat while the process is going on. The room itself was decent. The bath towels were very small. There were no hand towels in the facility. I was told the motel stopped using hand towels all together. For the price, it was way below standards.

Considering I made a late reservation to stay in Poteau for the eclipse, I was happy to get the room, even though it was a smoming.

This place has crazy bad reviews for no reason, the front desk and housekeeper were super sweet. There was a cop parked the whole week I stayed and the sheriffs office of the whole county is located there in poteau not too far away either so it is a cop town in general they’ll be everywhere, I felt safe the whole time I stayed and I love that you can park directly in front of your room door. Super cute retro vibes I felt like I was staying at my grandpas house. I actually checked out and came back twice because my job kept getting delayed there and I would totally come stay again if I ever come back for work! But overall the price for the room is amazing compared to the other more expensive places I stayed at previously in the area which I did not have good experiences at.

Room looked clean however the tub floor had stickers and were molded the carpet floors were very sticky. All we did was sleep there a few hours. Beds was not comfortable at all.

We realized that it would be hard to find something last minute for this area. It was really all there was without paying twice the price or driving another 25 miles. When we pulled up there was no ‘check-in’ lobby. We had to ring a doorbell for service and passed info and key thru a slot under the window. We wondered if it was a really bad area of town or the drug haven. It was old but somewhat clean except the front windows. The curtains were in need of repair and the door was hard to open and close. The door frame was rusty. Vending machines had one brand of off brand pop that was out of date. There were no hand towels. Vanity and sink were very low…….like thigh height. The beds were cheap but surprisingly I didn’t wake up with a backache. Refrigerator and microwave were old and the frig froze my drink. Limited tv. No coffee!

Was put off by the property and did not check in. I left and checked in elsewhere.

Enjoyed it

The management is very helpful. The location is in the mix of everything.

I slept well
