4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2012

The curb appeal and well-decorated lobby make for a great first impression. I wouldn't say it's downhill from there, but the rooms do show their age. The room was clean, well decorated, but fairly basic. The bathroom is especially small, there is no closet (just a bar to hang garments), and the textured walls can't be made-over with just a...

Thank you for the review. We always appreciate comments about our hotel. The lobby and public areas were recently renovated in September 2011 and we have plans to renovate our guest rooms this winter. We hope you will come back to visit us again. More

Nice looking lobby and grounds, so first impression was great. However, when you get to the room your spirits get deflated. Small room, tiny bathroom, grimy carpet and yucky wall color with 20 years or more of layered paint that's peeling. Let's not forget the squished buf on the wall! The linens were decent and the bed was comfortable. Glad... More

Thank you for your response. We completed "Stage 1" of our renovations last September which included our lobby, meeting rooms, and a few other common areas in the hotel. We do plan to continue with renovations by getting into the rooms next. We understand the need for updating and plan to do so. We hope that you will continue to... More

This hotel with aging exterior corridors and rooms that are functional at best is really hampered by its buildings. The management clearly has tried to upgrade - granite counter tops for sinks, but that doesn't make up for the small rooms, tiny bath/commode space, etc. The location - within walking distance of Oxford's lovely square with great restaurants and shops...

Thank you for your input on our hotel. We always like to hear what our guests have to say about our hotel. I do apologize that you were not completely satisfied with your stay. The hotel is an older property which is why there are exterior corridors and "smaller" rooms. There is not really anything we can do to help... More

We read all the reviews of the Downtown Oxford Inn before our stay and decided to give it a shot based on the location and the photos showed it to be plenty good enough for what we were wanting. We had the King Suite and our room was actually better than the photos showed. It was clean and updated. The... More

We found this establishment to be excellent. From a warm welcome to immaculate rooms, a free hosted happy hour with good quality brands of liquor and wine and a hot breakfast buffet with a variety of choices. As the young couple from Ole Miss said when we inquired as to lodgings in Oxford..."you must stay at the inn on the... More

The hotel is located right on the Square in Oxford! You dont have to worry about finding a parking spot or calling a cab to get to any of the restaurants or bars on the Square. They were doing some renovations, but seemed to be working on improving the hotel. I stay here pretty frequently and look forward to staying... More

If you are looking to hang out in your room the entire day this isn't the hotel for you. If you need a reasonably priced hotel in a great location and just need a place to put your head that is safe, clean, and comfortable than this place is for you.
