The parking lot was difficult to get into but the main problem was my reservation was canceled when I arrived to check in due to a sewer leak.

When I arrived to check into my room, I was told that they were unable to check anybody in because of a sewage condition. I was not alerted of this before my arrival. I had to scramble at the last minute and find another place to stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I booked with Expedia to stay at the OYO in Waco, Texas September 12-14. I arrived at 3pm at the OYO. The woman behind the counter said they had no rooms. I said I have a reservation. She said they did not have a room. I said that doesn't make sense. She said she had one room without a tv but she was waiting on maintenance. I said I would take that room. She said I couldn't have it. She gave me the number (347) 752-4172 for Oyo customer service. I left and called the number. It was an automated message saying my reservation was cancelled. I ended up without a room. I AM TICKED.

I booked and paid months ago. Arrived today 2 hours before an event (3 pm) and without warning they cancelled my booking. I am having to sleep in my car because there is nothing else avaliable and it reached nearly 100⁰. After an hour of talking woth Expedia I was told Im sorry and you have $25 towards your next booking. As if Id ever risk something like this again woth Expedia or OYO. Thank god my child is not with me.

Impossible to find no overnight staff

Directions to the property were unclear, the property was not visible from the interstate and after driving around in circles for well over an hour we were greeted by a locked door and a NO VACANCIES sign with a phone number that went unanswered. I finally got a room nextdoor at the Roadway Inn, with an overnight staff, a very comfortable room and plenty of parking. To add insult to injury they charged me for the room at the OYO even though we were unable to stay there.

Avoid this hotel!

Several of us could not check in. There was no one there. We called for help and got none. I then read some reviews where others had to sleep in their call. Fortunately, I found an alternative hotel

The honest truth about this place.

This place sucked. Stay as far away from this place as possible. That’s if they even let you check in. The hotel staff is extremely hateful, disrespectful, and displays the direct reflection of how much they hate their life.
