    We have stayed in the small cabins many times. We realize they are old but we were disappointed in them this trip. It looked clean but the kitchen table was very sticky so hadn't been cleaned. The handle on the microwave was only attached on the bottom it had been glued by the looks of it. There was no kitchen towel(there always has been in all the years past), the air-conditioned worked but didn't cool the room very well. The bathroom was clean it seemed but 1st night about 10 or so rolls poly bugs were crawling in the shower and on the bathroom floor easy enough to kill. 2nd night there were a few more in the bathroom and bedroom area-thankfully they don't bite. Third night we were gone from 6-12am when we walked in there were 100's coming out of the bathroom, shower drain/closet for water heater. We thankfully had a broom and swept them up putting them in the toilet. They were in the bedding even. We didn't call the office we were tired and didn't want to have someone spraying poison just before we slept. Checking out we told the girl she looked like she didn't believe us but we had pictures. Nothing was offered but I did ask to talk to the manager-they were in a meeting but was told they'd call me. And 30 min later the girl at the desk did call and said manager said they'd give us a 10% discount. Which we did appreciate. I know we'll go again but we'll add bug spray to our list of things to bring.

    New water park area!

    Arrived after check-in time of 3:00 and was told rooms are not cleaned yet! My phone number was taken to call us when ready! Was able to check out the lobby and hallways where Artwork is on display(for sale). Also some local pictures of historical interest! The lobby has worn furniture and floors were not cleaned! Room ready within an hour of check-in! The rooms are nice! Balcony overlooking the lake! Great views on a mostly secluded balcony! Enjoyed the weathered looking cement floors with a small area of carpet under the bed! Would stay here again, but plan on checking in latter than check-in time!

    We are staying in a cabin for four in the State Park. The office was kind and made it easy to move our stay during the Texas Snowstorm. The lake is clear and gorgeous. It is worth the drive from Dallas alone. The lodge area is nice to walk around and see the sites if you're not into hiking. There is a restaurant on the property that is reasonably priced and smells amazing. Reminder: masks are optional at many places here. Use what you feel best for your family. The cabin is much smaller than other Oklahoma state parks. We choose a new one to visit each year. The cabin has a lot of room for updates but I know that can be pricey. It depends on your personal level of comfort. My family felt fine here for the weekend. This state park does not give kitchen supplies like previous cabins we have stayed in. Be aware to bring everything you need from home. The closest grocery store is 17 minutes away in town. My main issue was that the outside property was dirty and you can tell they aren't cleaning between guests. There are many hiking trails but unfortunately it was too foggy today. Hopefully we get to go out tomorrow. In the Summer you can tell this place is amazing and so much fun. It is set up for a lot. This is a great quick get away for the family.

    Came here with a group of couples. It was about 18 of us in total for the weekend. This lake and State Park has many things to offer those visiting. Cabins located through out and around the lake. Great for boats and fishing and family fun. BBQ grils and water front camping. Well patrolled by a small community of Rangers that work there. Fairly safe, however I would recommend planning ahead before going. Sometimes finding a camping spot if you plan on staying there is a bit hard. Lodging is available at Lake Murray State Lodge. Park has issues with cleaning the parking lot, they are working on those issues. Has nothing to do with the workers there, just the people that stay there. We had a great time and we're looking forward to returning.

    Friendly staff, nice modern lodge with spacious seating and overlook of the lake, we was able to check in early, that was awesome. The rooms are spacious, 36 TV, pull out sofa, mini fridge and microwave, we love view of the lake from our room, able to sit on your private patio and watch the boaters. Be mindful you're on cement floors so if have wet feet, be aware it's a bit slippery. Our only complaint is wifi is spotty (they block Fox News app,SMH) We would stay here again, wish they had a tiki bar nearby for adults, that would be kewl.

    Beautiful room

    This review is solely based on the new lodge, but wow is it beautiful! I had never visited Lake Murray before, and a recent work trip brought me to the area. All of the locals said I must stay at the new lodge. I could tell it was a big deal, but I didn't want to go in with too high of expectations either. I was blown away by the gorgeous facility which overlooks the lake. The rooms are nicer than many expensive hotels I've stayed at. They also have a balcony/patio with chairs that face the lake which lends to the peaceful atmosphere. I don't know what it was like before, but the renovation is amazing. I would love to come back and spend a weekend here as I only got to stay one night.

    Stayed here for a conference. The lodge and facilities were amazing. However the cabins were dated and mine had a funky smell. The restaurant is nice, not the best food but an amazing view. The staff were awesome and very friendly.

    Beautiful lake for camping that's why we keep coming back!

    Our family loves coming to lake Murray a nice place for camping and hiking the walking trails.

    Wonderful views from the Gazebo Floating Cabin!!!!
    Ransom Law S.

    Super amazing, beautiful spot in Ardmore!!! I highly recommend the floating cabins- the Gazebo is my personal favorite. It is very gorgeous and beautiful- the lake is clear and nice! Paradise in Ardmore!!! Great for families or friends who want a fun getaway with gorgeous surroundings!!!

    I come here almost every day, swimming, hiking, fishing, boating, off roadin, etc., it's no secret that southern Oklahoma has some of the best weather in the country like 300 days a year plus !!! of pure sunshine, and that makes for great lake weather! Lake Texoma, the more popular lake is 45 mins away and most people frequent that lake it's so much bigger but our little lake Murray is somewhat of a secret and what a great secret it is! I been coming to this lake for the last 12 years, walking my great Danes down by the lake or on Buckhorn trail. I always see deer, fox, road runners, ducks, geese, etc., the trails are quite beautiful and recently have been better marked with new signage hurray for that!!! I got lost one day and I live near by & know the area lol The marina area has a free swim beach, a cafe, kids playground and BBQ areas. A great area for a day trip. For overnighters, there is cabins, a lodge, RV hookups, tent camping and the new floating cabins are sweet!!! Prices are reasonable too :) In the fall, pecan grove is the best place to hang out as the sun shifts in the sky. Tips point is great with spectacular views of the lake it has BBQ's, firepits & a very cool old stone outbuilding for large parties. Elephant rock is also a great place to camp & have a fire :) There is also a castle on this lake called Tucker tower. It was build for the Govonor back in the day who never lived there. It has since been turned into a museum and recently a whole brand new building for the museum has opened. There is hidden swim areas all around this lake that only the locals know about. Sunset beach on the other side of the lake is a fantastic spot for watching the sunsets, there is no better place :) Jason Aldean says it best about the "Oklahoma sunsets in your eyes like a water colored painted sky, you think heavens doors have opened" and it's always just that stunning. Swimming off the cliffs is kinda frowned upon but we do it anyway bc you can jump off them just dont go too close to the water tower. Cops will make you leave lol. Lake Murray is a limestone lake, so the water is so clear you can see the bottom most places...there is also a couple islands in the middle and a secret beach called "bitch beach" but you might have to swim over there lol sometimes, depending on the water levels, you can off road on the ATV trails, there is also a area to fly your remote aircraft :) Some of the best times of my life with my friends, my family, and with my hubby have been spent on and around this lake, recently my 10th anniversary and our Independence day, 4th of July. It's a part of me. Quoting Aldean again... "there's still black marks on that county road where we drag raced our pick ups & weathered the summer rain, there's still a rope burn on that branch that hangs over the lake, still got the scar, from swinging out a little too far. There ain't a corner of this hollowed ground that we ain't laughed and cried on. It's where we loved, lived, & learned life's stuff, it's everything we are made of....I take a ride, look around & there's no doubt. It sure left it's mark on us, we sure left our mark on it. Let the world know we were here with everything we did, I've laid a lot of memories down, and we will always be hanging round!" So come see what lake Murray is all about, you might just find that you want to hang around, love, live and lay some memories down too :)

    My mom and I stayed here for our impromptu trip to Sulphur/ Chickasaw National Recreation Park, and…read moreit was awesome! We were so surprised, not because we expected it to be bad, but just because it was better than expected and we were practically the only ones there (to be fair, we were there in the middle of the week rather than a busy weekend). So definitely a hidden gem. There's a much more popular hotel in town, but I'm so glad we chose this one instead. It's not technically a hotel I guess, but it works like one... and has more interesting things than a typical hotel. It really is set up to be like a retreat and conference center, so the name isn't just for show - you can tell that they've really thought about how to make spaces that work for those types of events/ situations. For example, there are plenty of different meeting and conference rooms, and they have a FULL gym, not just a treadmill and some weights like many other places. See the pics for what I mean! They also have a cool lounge area, complete with an open fireplace in the center of the room. Both my mom and I thought how cool it would be to be sitting around there in the fall. They also have a pool and hot tub, like many other hotels. There's a sauna in the locker rooms, which I thought was pretty cool, and it looked nice but we didn't decide to go in. Speaking of the locker rooms: they're also very nice! Definitely well-kept. The views from the hotel rooms are also STUNNING (and I do believe all the rooms are on the same side of the building, so all have the same view). The pictures unfortunately don't do this part justice. Because it's truly out in the middle of nowhere (only about 15mins from the main part of town though), there's just pretty land for as far as you can see. The rooms are pretty standard: two queen beds, a fridge, keurig with a few options, bathroom with shower, and closet. No microwave in the rooms, but there was one downstairs where they had the ice and coffee. I appreciated that they had more than one type of flavored creamer (powdered). I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but I got some because they had amaretto flavor, and it was good!!! At first because the drive there was so quiet and empty, we were a little unsure about what we'd gotten into, but as you can see it ended up being a great place to stay! I almost wish we were there longer. Would definitely go there again!

They clearly value faith, connection, and relationships-- which I absolutely love! They even have an entire lobby and breakfast area with Christian books, movies, and snacks. There were a few things that made our trip a little less comfortable. First, we tried to contact the owners multiple times and never received a response back. They have signs posted saying that guests should feel welcome to reach out via text anytime, but every time we did... we heard nothing. The thing that I am having difficulty getting past was a stain on the comforter of the bed... there was a clear blood stain on the quilt, which made us feel uneasy. We texted the owner asking where we could find extra blankets, since we didn't want to use the comforter, and didn't receive a response back... This made me question the cleanliness of where we were staying. To be fair though, everything else seemed clean! I write this to be constructive and truthful. I'm not sure that we would stay here again, but I can tell many people value and cherish La Ville inn, including the sweet couple we met in the lobby during our stay.

They had a really cool sitting area where you could visit with friends and it included a really nice bar which I thought was over and above. The beds were all comfortable as usual with the Best Western. Superior hot breakfast and again super friendly employees at the breakfast buffet. Would definitely recommend this to everyone headed to Ardmore Oklahoma. If you love Mexican food, you'll want to eat at casa Roma. Excellent food as well as excellent drinks and service. As a bonus, there's a new casino in Ardmore. Lake Crest Casino is very clean and not as busy as Winstar. But it's only 30 minutes north of WinStar so if you decide you want to go WinStar,, it's very easy to get to. Our friends thought the machines paid out better there than at WinStar, as did we . Lakecrest was much smaller than WinStar. Spend a fun weekend "north of the Red River" and maybe bring home a little extra cash.....or a little less.

Upon returning to our rooms late that night, and getting in bed, we felt something in the bed. We got out of the bed, pulled the covers back. There was a lot of debris in the bed. At first we thought that it was bed bugs, but we decided that maybe it wasn't. We stripped the bed, called down to the front desk to ask for clean sheets. When the guy answered at the front desk, the conversation was, (Me) "Hi, I am in room 316. Our bed is dirty, so we need a clean fitted sheet." (Guy) "Well it's going to be a minute". (Me) "What do you mean by a minute, because ". (Guy YELLING) "I said it's going to be a minute, because I am here by myself and I have other things going on ". (Angry Guy immediately hangs up the phone after yelling at me) I called back to the front desk, but he didn't answer. I then left the room and went downstairs to get a clean sheet, and also to see why he yelled at me and then hung up in my face. He was nowhere to be found. After looking for him and knocking on office doors, I wrote a note and left on the front desk. I have NEVER encountered anything like this. We were all in awe, and confused. This is totally unacceptable. I would NEVER stay at this hotel again.
