At Montford Inn in Norman, OK, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming guests from all over the country. Many of them face the same decision – should they book a boutique inn or choose a vacation rental like Airbnb or Vrbo?
While vacation rentals might seem appealing at first, they often come with unexpected challenges. Montford Inn offers a far better experience, blending personal hospitality, gourmet breakfast, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit truly special.
If you’re considering where to stay in Norman, here’s why Montford Inn should be your top choice.
Personalized Hospitality You Won’t Find in a Rental
When you book a vacation rental, your interaction with the host is often limited to an automated message, a keypad entry code, and maybe a set of house rules posted on the fridge. While some travelers enjoy the independence, many find it frustrating when they need help and no one is available to provide it.
At Montford Inn, we believe in genuine hospitality. From the moment you walk through the door, you’re not just another guest – you’re part of our home.
We take the time to learn what brings you to Norman and how we can make your stay more enjoyable. Whether it’s a dinner recommendation, directions to the best local coffee shop, or the inside scoop on game-day parking, we’re always here to help.
We also understand that every guest is different. Some love conversation and personal recommendations, while others prefer a quiet and private retreat. Our goal is to tailor your experience to what makes you most comfortable.
No Cleaning Chores, No Surprise Fees
Vacation rentals can be convenient, but many come with a long list of housekeeping tasks before checkout. Guests are often expected to strip the beds, take out the trash, start the dishwasher, or even begin the laundry.
After a restful getaway, the last thing you want is a to-do list.
Then there are the fees. Many vacation rentals charge a base rate that seems reasonable, but once you factor in cleaning fees, service fees, and platform fees, the price can skyrocket. At Montford Inn, our pricing is transparent and all-inclusive.
No hidden fees, no extra charges – just a relaxing stay where everything is taken care of.
A Gourmet Breakfast, Freshly Prepared for You
One of the greatest perks of staying at Montford Inn is our homemade, gourmet breakfast. When you book a vacation rental, breakfast is your responsibility – whether that means cooking in an unfamiliar kitchen, grabbing takeout, or skipping it altogether.
Each morning at Montford Inn, our guests wake up to the inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee, complemented by an assortment of hot teas, fresh fruit, and our signature Tonhawa Smoothie. Our rotating menu means no two mornings are exactly alike. Some days may feature a savory egg dish, while others bring a sweet baked delight or a comforting classic.
Many guests tell us that breakfast is one of their favorite parts of their stay. It’s a time to slow down, enjoy delicious food, and chat with fellow travelers in a relaxed setting. No matter what’s on the menu, every breakfast is thoughtfully prepared to provide a delicious and satisfying start to your day.
Unique and Thoughtfully Designed Rooms
Vacation rentals can be hit or miss. Some are beautifully decorated, while others feel sparse or outdated. At Montford Inn, each room has been carefully designed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
We offer a variety of rooms, each with its own personality and charm. From elegant furnishings and plush linens to cozy fireplaces and private whirlpool tubs, every detail is crafted to help you relax and unwind.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic retreat, a peaceful getaway, or a cozy stay near the University of Oklahoma, we have a space that fits your needs.
A Prime Location Near OU & Downtown Norman
Location is key when booking accommodations. Many vacation rentals are located in residential areas that require extra driving and parking. That can make a quick trip to grab coffee or dinner more of a hassle than it needs to be.
Montford Inn is perfectly situated in the heart of Norman. We’re just minutes from:
- The University of Oklahoma and all of its events
- Campus Corner, with its lively shops and restaurants
- Downtown Norman, home to art galleries, boutiques, and live music venues
Here, you can park once and explore with ease. No need to worry about finding parking near campus or navigating unfamiliar neighborhoods.
A Peaceful and Inviting Atmosphere
Vacation rentals vary widely in terms of comfort and ambiance. Some feel like a lived-in home with personal items and clutter, while others feel like a bare-bones investment property with little character.
Montford Inn is intentionally designed to create a peaceful, welcoming retreat. Guests love our beautifully landscaped gardens, cozy common spaces, and serene outdoor seating areas.
Whether you want to sip coffee on the porch, relax with a book by the fireplace, or unwind by the firepit in the evening, there’s always a quiet place to retreat.
Cleanliness & Comfort You Can Count On
Cleanliness can be unpredictable in vacation rentals. While some hosts take great care of their properties, others may leave the cleaning up to the previous guests or a part-time service.
At Montford Inn, we take cleanliness and comfort seriously. Each room is meticulously cleaned and prepared before your arrival. From fresh linens to spotless bathrooms, we ensure that every detail is taken care of so you can settle in with confidence.
A Stay That Feels Special
Montford Inn is more than just a place to sleep. We want every guest to leave with lasting memories and an experience that feels truly special.
Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, visiting Norman for an OU event, or planning a quiet retreat, we take pride in making your stay one to remember.
Our guests return time and time again because they know they’ll be welcomed with warmth, kindness, and the kind of personal touches that make all the difference.
