SAMIR Stay at NW Expressway

Older building but well taken care of. Parking lot well lit. Breakfast was basic but beyond expectations for the price of the hotel.

It was a pleasant stay. Rooms were clean and location was on point. Oncue and sonic 2 minutes away and there was also a nightclub across the street. Affordable and easy to deal with, service was decent and I would def stay again. Parking lot is a bit small so it can get crowded but is also connected to a Home Depot and shopping center so parking trucks is possible as well. Make sure to get there early to turn the AC on because they leave it off until you get there, it will get cold though.

two single females. Not real picky guests as long as clean room, locking doors and quiet, so a bit curious of a $48 8.0 rated hotel. Very surprised by what we found.. easy to find, appears to be newly redone, friendly folks, room was clean and looked better than some $120 places. smelled good - not chemical, just clean. They have night time quiet rules and number of visitors a guest can have to help keep it quiet. No pool, but a small excercise room. Breakfast was not fancy, but adequate (waffle machine was nice). lots of hot water, a microwave and small refrigerator. Comfortable beds. We felt safe. We were there 2 nights - a Thursday and Friday. Almost no one there on Thursday, but a large number of lower income, possibly homeless. folks started coming in Friday night. No surprise based on the prices. THey were hanging around, but they did not bother us. There was one incident where some people were hanging around the parking lot acting drunk or high at around 11PM Friday with young kids being unruly and loud but they left after awhile. There were a few slammed room doors and some kids that ran up and down the halls for a short time on Friday night, but nothing extreme. Never felt endangered. Limited TV channel choices - no local news channels. Overall we were pleasantly surprised at the quality for the price. We would stay again. Hope they keep the place up - hard to believe thay can do it for what they charge.

We got a room with a king size bed and a queen size bed. The beds were close to the walls. My husband and I slept in the queen size bed and when I turned to face the middle I felt like I was rolling into the middle. The tub and shower room was close quarters and the door would have functioned better had it opened outwards instead of inwards. I didn't think much of breakfast as you had a choice of two cereals, toast, muffins or a bagel. There were no hot items and not sure why they had a microwave in the area. All of the parking is in the back of the hotel. It is in an interesting location but it was quiet. Wondered about the elevator every time we got in it as it had an extra little jolt and we were on the third floor. The desk in our room had a strange smell to it so I could not sit there very long however there was a nice club chair in one of the corners.

Property was good, but seemed a little ‘hot’ outside, though never had an issue with anyone- just saw people loitering. Lots of broken bottles in the parking lot. Inside the hotel was very clean. Staff was pleasant. The breakfast was pretty weak, no hot foods but the OJ was good.

Very nice room, and accommodations were satisfactory. The staff was pleasant and friendly, of which is a change from some other places that I have stayed. Lady thatbooked me in explained everything in detail, and also informed me of the expected timeframe for receiving my deposit back, that was also a first and greatly appreciated since sometimes it could take several days leaving one to wonder if they got robbed or not at the Samir, all that was explained. Nice deep bathtub, spacious bathroom, complimentary coffee, and coffee maker, cable, with a modern Tv that functiined. Wifi that didn't lag or slow. Only issue was the vending machine didn't take dollars, however the next morning the staff was on it and got that issue resolved. I think the Samir is a great hotel, affordable and maybe overlooked being the location is far north of Hotel/Motel row along Meridian and MacArthur. Thumbs up, Samir. I will be staying there more often.

Front desk guy is always calm(series). I recommend booking online before going to this place, less work. Quite rooms. Smoking is not allow inside the rooms. Everything is clean and always ready. Free parking.

Used on site laundry and another guest or hooker stole my stuff out of the dryer

Great central location. Lovely tree lined area . Lots to do, eat. Vending machines out of commission. Ice upstairs not working. Too many people hanging out at rear car park. Did not see security out there. So that was a bit of a concern. Room was comfortable and clean, tv, bath faucet fridge made for a comfortable stay. Did not have the breakfast but for the price it was good value.

Nice place for the price. Clean room, full shower stall. lots of parking

Room 202 had bed bugs

All was fair except.. I found empty beer bottle and caps under the bed, mold in the bathroom. And bed bugs crawling on my luggage at checkout time. Only offered 50% off next stay.. no thank you. Won’t be staying there again.

The carpet is disgusting. The walls were disgusting. There were small roaches crawling on the wall. The breakfast area was not desirable. This hotel should not be an option.

I stayed here for consecutive weekends for about two months since I’m a traveling healthcare worker. The price is unbeatable and it does the job, but here is what to keep in mind: It is not the cleanest, but at least no roaches or bedbugs during any of my stays. However, I did spot mysterious stains in the bedding (I particularly remember a yellow stain I discovered during my last stay and I am HOPING it is a stain that just couldn’t be washed off, pictured here), brownish stains on the bathroom’s wall, and the carpet has seen better days. The ceiling fans are hit or miss, some of them are too loud and seem like they’re about to fall off. The parking lot does have some strangers roaming around but I never felt unsafe, that could be because I am a man. It is close to a lot of fast food places and Target, so that was pretty convenient. Again, price is great but you do get what you pay for.

Clean room, staff was polite, nice room.

The hotel was quiet. The staff let us check in early. But the condition of the build was not good. I don’t know how it achieved an 8 rating. Stains on the bedding. Mold in the bathroom. Cracks in the molding.

My wife, and I stayed a few nights, and had a couple more nights to stay, but ended up leaving, because we woke up to having a bed bug biting on my wife.

Staff was very nice. Room was dirty. Shower spout fell off as soon as I touched it. Pubic hairs on the toilet. Hand prints and dirt on the white doors.

The beds were so hard, the room had a mildewy smell, and the bathtub was disgusting. Will not booking there again

Our room was nice and clean, bathroom as well. Comfortable bed and quiet so we could get some rest. I would definitely stay again.

overall it was clean and comfortable. needed paint and some minor maint. breakfast was pretty thin ,not much selection

Quiet, roomy,& great AC second day.

Smelled like mildew and had crickets in my room. Staff were somewhat friendly. Lots of stains on the carpet. The shower kind of got warm, but not hot at all. Bed was comfortable, AC worked well. Not the best place I have stayed, but definitely not the worst.

The air was on and the room was cold. There was a thermostat on the wall but apparently it did not do anything. The opening for the control was jammed shut on the heater/cooling unit. I went to call the desk and phone was not working. I then noticed the phone cord both ends plugged into the phone. When I called the desk and they came up they acted like we had done something to th unit. Also the room was a past smoking room and you could still smell cigarete smote.

Stay was good! I came for the price and it was very good. Glad it had a shower but needed an update! The room also had carpet which needed to be changed out! Overall the room was clean!

Not bad but small bathrooms

The staff was very friendly and helpful, outside of some initial crickets in my first queen bed room there were no bugs.... The queen beds were very uncomfortable definitely can use some upgrades... But for a budget friendly hotel I was pleased

The beds were so hard, the room had a mildewy smell, and the bathtub was disgusting. Will not booking there again

The room was nice. Never stayed in a hotel that had a ceiling fan so that was odd. The mini fridge was frozen over and didn't work the best. The AC for the room was horrible. Yes it was over 100 put but it could keep up and kept just shutting down. There were several times we would go outside because it was cooler

The staff is wonderful Housekeeping is out of this world great I made sure to not be outside in the dark I was here for weeks. I’d come back if I need a room again The room I was in was good for the price

The staff is extremely helpful and considerate.

The hotel was a pleasant surprise. The front desk clerk was very professional and courteous and checking in was a breeze. The room was big and spacious and the bathroom was very clean. My only complaint was that the bed was too close to the AC unit but other than that, it was a great stay. Breakfast was delicious and there were plenty of restaurants nearby to choose from. Overall this is a hidden gem.

The person who helped us at reception was very inattentive. He didn't explain anything. We asked him to change rooms because the bathroom was unacceptably dirty, but he didn't say anything about it. A person who, under no circumstances, should have any contact with the public. A very unpleasant experience.

Budget friendly. Staff is very nice. Convenient location. Easy check in process. Would stay again.

Staff is amazing and very hospitable.

Terribly rude front desk staff who acted like doing his job was a put out for him and barely spoke when spoken to. The room was filthy and even though it was a smoke free room it smelled like smoke. I want my money back. It was a terrible experience.

The staff makes this place one of the better stays in the area.

The front desk clerk was horrible. Attempted to not allow us to check in at all. Attempted to be difficult about refund of deposit. All around poor experience.

We arrived and there was no one in the lobby. We had to wait 45 minutes for someone to attend to us. And he wasn't kind.

Was easy to find and has great access back onto the highway.

The Hotel is fine. It was quiet and convenient to shopping and eating out. It's located right by Sonic, Hooters, Oncue 24 hr gas station and convenience Mart that also makes food to order. Also close to Whataburger, jackinabox, Target, Dave and Busters, Penn Square Mall.

It’s conveniently tucked off the main expressway so you don’t have to deal with all of the traffic and noise, but have easy access. Very clean and quiet.

Comfortable, clean with no bugs. Just didn't care for the homeless people hanging out around the motel, while watching out my window around my car.

There is a Starbucks and a convenience store nearby, 10 minutes walk

Property was good, but seemed a little ‘hot’ outside, though never had an issue with anyone- just saw people loitering. Lots of broken bottles in the parking lot. Inside the hotel was very clean. Staff was pleasant. The breakfast was pretty weak, no hot foods but the OJ was good.

Nice place to stay as far as the room goes but a lot of the quests are less desirable sorts

Very convenient location if you are needing to be close to the hospital and on a budget.

Decent price , decent area, close fast food restaurants, easy Access to highway,

Sketchy area

Great low-budget place. Overall happy with our stay. Bed was comfortable, TV remote was missing but the friendly staff got us a new one. We stayed on the main floor, right inside the entrance and some guests were a little noisy. Waffle maker was not very user friendly and breakfast was slightly limited. But overall a great place to stay on a budget. We were very grateful to find a low-cost room w/breakfast.

Didn't like much of anything. Room was dirty and in need of repair. The breakfast was almost non existent. Very few items. The outside door to the parking lot was left unlocked all night. No one needed the key to get in. It may have just been broken. There's a lot of loud noise most of the night. There were also a lot of people that didn't seem to be guests at the hotel around the entrance. It was listed as a 7.8 or 8.0 hotel, and it's more like a 5.5 to 6.0 hotel. Would never stay there again.

Customer service was excellent. Room was clean. Breakfast was amazingly delicious!

It was ok the room was really small and the breakfast was nonexistent only toast ,cereal, muffins.

It was supposedly a non-smoking hotel, but my room reeks of smoke. My belongings smelled like that just from being there 3 nights. Breakfast was extremely sparse. The toilet in my room constantly made a noise. I told the front desk, and they said something would be done about it, but it wasn't. Reasonably-priced, though

They're continental breakfast was bread Bagels orange juice apple juice two different kinds of cereal Far Cry from the continental breakfast they brag about.

Very clean, good breakfast and great price

I liked the place. Its not a new place but it was clean and comfy bed and hot shower. Clean linen and price was reasonable. Breakfast wasnt great, just some bagels and cream cheese and some bananas and coffee and milk and juice.
