Planning a trip to Norman, OK? With so many details to consider (flights, itineraries, dining) your accommodations should be the easy part. But if you’ve never stayed at a bed and breakfast, you might be wondering: What’s the real difference between a B&B and a hotel?
As the innkeeper of Montford Inn, I can tell you firsthand that staying with us is a completely different experience than booking a hotel. From the moment you step onto our property, you’re not just checking into a room—you’re stepping into a warm, welcoming home where we take great joy in ensuring your stay is nothing short of exceptional.
So, what sets us apart? Let me share a few things that make a stay at Montford Inn so special.
A Breakfast Worth Waking Up For
Forget the standard hotel breakfast of pre-packaged muffins and cereal bars. Here, breakfast is an event, a highlight of your stay. Every morning, we serve a full gourmet breakfast, freshly prepared with love.
Think fluffy eggs, crispy bacon, seasonal fruit, and homemade pastries… served hot and ready when you are.
Our menu changes daily, and we love to incorporate fresh, local ingredients whenever possible. Whether it’s a delicate soufflé, a stack of warm, golden pancakes with locally sourced syrup, or a savory breakfast casserole, we ensure that every bite is as delightful as your stay.
And don’t worry, we happily accommodate dietary preferences and allergies. Just let us know in advance, and we’ll create something delicious just for you.
The best part? It’s all included in your stay. No extra charges. Just a delicious start to your day, made with care.
Personalized Hospitality & Local Expertise
At Montford Inn, you’re not just another guest… you’re part of our extended family. We take the time to learn your name, your preferences, and what will make your visit truly special.
- Need a dinner recommendation? We know the best local spots, whether you’re craving a cozy café or an upscale dining experience.
- Looking for hidden gems around town? We’ll point you toward the best local attractions, scenic walks, and must-visit spots near the University of Oklahoma.
Hotels can offer concierge service, but it’s not the same as having an innkeeper who genuinely cares about your experience and can tailor recommendations just for you.
We love sharing our favorite places and can even help you arrange special experiences, like a private picnic in the park, a romantic evening under the stars, or tickets to a can’t-miss event happening during your stay.
Choose Your Own Cozy Retreat
Unlike a hotel, where rooms can feel impersonal and interchangeable, each of our rooms has its own character and charm.
Whether you’re drawn to the warmth of a crackling fireplace, a private screened-in porch, or a room with a library nook perfect for curling up with a good book, you get to choose the space that fits your mood.
Each of our rooms is thoughtfully designed with cozy furnishings, soft linens, and a peaceful ambiance that encourages relaxation.
From the plush bathrobes waiting for you to slip into, to the carefully selected décor that adds warmth and personality, we make sure every detail contributes to an unforgettable stay. Some rooms even feature jetted tubs for the ultimate relaxation after a day of exploring Norman.
The Little Extras That Make a Big Difference
It’s the small touches that truly set Montford Inn apart.
Need a hot cup of coffee at midnight? It’s always available. Craving a mid-afternoon treat? Help yourself to our homemade cookies. Want to unwind with a glass of wine in the evening? We’re happy to pour you one.
And while hotels might charge extra for parking, Wi-Fi, or snacks, we believe in making your stay seamless, so those things are always on us.
But the little extras don’t stop there. We often surprise our guests with handwritten welcome notes, fresh flowers in their rooms, or small thoughtful touches that show we truly care.
If you’re celebrating a special occasion (an anniversary, a honeymoon, or even just a much-needed getaway) let us know. We love making moments even more memorable with personalized touches that make all the difference.
A Stay with Character & Charm
Located in Norman’s historic district, Montford Inn is anything but cookie-cutter (though, yes, we do have cookies!). From our beautifully maintained gardens to the inviting front porch, every inch of the inn is designed to make you feel at home.
The warm and inviting common areas are filled with books, games, and comfortable seating, there’s a sense of belonging the moment you step inside.
Spend an afternoon rocking on the front porch with a good book, or take a leisurely stroll through our gardens, where you might just catch a glimpse of a butterfly resting on a blooming flower.
More Than Just a Place to Stay
At the end of the day, choosing a bed and breakfast over a hotel is about more than just a place to sleep. It’s about experiencing true hospitality, feeling cared for, and enjoying a stay that’s as unique as you are. It’s about stepping away from the ordinary and into a space where every detail is designed with your comfort and joy in mind.
Whether you’re visiting Norman for a romantic retreat, a special celebration, or a quiet weekend away, we’d love to welcome you to Montford Inn.
P.S. Sooner Fans: We’re just a short walk from the University of Oklahoma campus, so whether you’re here for a game, a campus tour, or a weekend getaway, you’re right where you need to be.
We can’t wait to host you and make your visit truly unforgettable. See you soon!
