Had to make some recent trips to the University, and I don't tend to like travelling, especially for business. However, I was so pleasantly surprised by the accomodation here that I decided to stay for the weekend and look around. Great location, free wifi and the breakfast was more than satisfactory given that it didn't cost any extra!

This is an older property right on campus, so it makes it the most convenient place in Stillwater to stay if you have business on campus. The rooms are small but very well maintained and comfortable. Disappointed the TV selection did not include HBO. Free wifi in the room, and an excellent free breakfast for two the next day. My... More

Obviously the location, being right on the campus of O.S.U. was nice. But, so was everything else. I got married at O.S.U., right outside the hotel in front of the Student Union, so there was no way to be any closer to where the ceremony was! It was such a convenience to be able to get ready in the room... More

I've stayed at the Atherton several times, and I've had enough I think. The hotel is quite expensive for what it offers, but its location is second-to-none, so there you have it. We arrived around 2 PM, and inquired about early check in, which was denied. The lobby smelled awful. It was like a sewer was backed up or something,... More

Orange you glad you're traveling to Stillwater? Yes, "the nation's brightest orange" is OSU's color, and the Atherton is clad in shades of it: peach walls, rust carpet and orange-and-white drapes. But hey, you're not there permanently. And it's a minor nit I'm picking. (Oh, did I mention the orange-scented toiletries??) I stayed in a "no-view" room with a queen... More

I have stayed twice at the OSU Student Union Hotel- The Atherton. It's run by students in either a business or hotel management program, all the way down to the food service. My stay in 2010, in a double room, was much better than my stay in 2011- both in mid july- in a suite. The only negative I have... More

Had the opportunity to experience The Atherton on a college football weekend and the experience was second-to-none. Hard to believe this is a campus hotel. The service was outstanding and the accommodations first class. Would highly recommend The Atherton for any travel to Oklahoma State University and the Stillwater area.

A lovely hotel with gracious and enthusiastic staff. Nice orange-scented toiletries. Free in-room wireless. Downside: a damp, moldy-smelling room, poorly designed and dingy bathroom, and sub-par breakfast. Cardboard bagels and white bread, sad looking apples. Based on prior (glowing) reviews, it sounds like quality of food here has plummeted in the last few years.

If you are open to the idea of staying in a first class hotel with a dynamite steak house restaurant that is run and staffed by Hotel and Restaurant Administration student, the Atherton is not your run-of-the-mill chain experience. It is part of the Student Union and while the rooms are somewhat small, they are beautifully appointed with a lot... More
