This hotel is really more like a motel but it is such a good value for the money. The place is very very clean and the nicest people work there. When you walk in you feel like you are going back in time to the days of rock and roll, Elvis, James Dean etc. Even though the place is just... More

We stayed 1 night, loved it. Similar to a Microtel, but has unique decor. Friendly staff. Good breakfast with waffles. Rooms clean with adequate space. James Dean was the theme in our room. Halls and stairways and lounge are all decorated in 50's memorabilia.Nice pool. Fridge and microwave in room.Shower curtain had 100;s of pictures of 50's movie stars on... More

This is a fun place to stay. Usually you can find the owner in a cowboy hat at breakfast, very clean rooms, and professional friendly staffs. Make sure you ask the staff what kind of day they are having; they usually say anything but a happy day! Only kidding . . . Also Angles restaurant [1950s] Great Milk Shakes! .... More

We stayed at Happy Days Hotel with a large group of car crazy people. The rooms are clean, the decorating is unique! It was a lot of fun. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed our two nights there and have reservations for next year. J.F. Oklahoma City, OK

The pink neon and cute restaurant first caught our attention. The 50s & 60s decor with the real records hang on the walls and memorabilia of Elvis, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and others was charming. We had great warm welcome from the staff even with a late arrival. We had an equally warm chat with the owner the next morning.... More

The "Happy Days Hotel" in McAlester, OK was a lucky find for my husband and I. We were traveling to southeast Oklahoma for a veteran's day ceremony. We stopped in McAlester to stay the night. The Happy Days Hotel was a fun adventure as soon as we stepped through the door. The decor is all 50's and 60' s themed.... More

Me and two other wild and crazy women stayed at the Happy Days for 2 nights while taking in the Talahina Scenic Drive and sights of Mena AR. We really enjoyed the fun decor and the continental breakfast was great. The food at Angels Diner was very good as well. We arrived late on a Friday night, Scott was on... More

We stayed one night at the Happy Days Hotel after reading good press in various places (including this site). The place was okay, but seemed to come up a bit short of expectations from the press. At the end of the day, it seemed much like the budget Microtel it used to be, but with a 50s decor. Here are... More

Great place to stay while passing thru McAlester on my way to the Scenic Byway. Not a chain hotel--- owned by family of hardworkers. Clean rooms, comfortable beds and helpful staff. Continental breakfast in the 50's era diner was a great way to start the morning. Nearby cafe "Angels" was also great for a late night dinner. I walked in... More
