Frederick's BEST Kept Secret: Budget Inn by OYO 🤫 (US-183)

Okay, buckle up, because we're diving headfirst into the delightfully… budget… world of Frederick's BEST Kept Secret: Budget Inn by OYO 🤫 (US-183). Let's be honest, the name itself sounds like a riddle wrapped in an enigma and smothered in a deal. Am I right? And that deal… that's the whole point, isn't it?

The Good, the Budget, and the… Let's Call it "Character": A Rambling Review

First of all, let's be crystal clear: this isn't a Ritz-Carlton. This is a haven for the weary traveler, the budget-conscious adventurer, the person who values sleep and a relatively clean place to put their head. And in that regard… well, it's alright. Really, it is.

Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, Like Life Itself

Here's the thing, and it’s important: Wheelchair accessible? Yep, at least partially. They've got an elevator (thank heavens!) and some rooms are designed with accessibility in mind. I didn't personally need it, but I snooped around – gotta get the whole picture, right? – and it seemed decent. Important to check with them directly though, especially if you have specific needs. The front desk [24-hour] is a plus for those late-night arrivals, which is pretty good.

Cleanliness and Safety: The Sanitization Station

Okay, so post-pandemic, everyone’s a germaphobe, right? The Anti-viral cleaning products make me feel slightly better, I will say that. Rooms sanitized between stays? They claim so, and I’m choosing to believe. The hand sanitizer dispensers dotted around are a nice touch. They’ve even got professional-grade sanitizing services which, hey, anything’s a plus. But remember, this is budget, okay? I peeked into an occupied room during the cleaning process, and maybe they missed the grout. Shrugs.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fuel Your Hustle (or Hangovers)

Now, here’s where the budget really bites… or doesn’t. The good news, for the truly broke: there isn't a huge temptation here. You won't be tempted to blow your budget. Breakfast [buffet]? Nah, don’t expect much. Although, as a word of caution, I would suggest you make sure this hotel is the right choice for you before booking; otherwise, you might find yourself desperately seeking something to start your day with.

Services and Conveniences: The Little Things (That Matter… Sometimes)

They have that free car park [on-site] which is like, gold. And daily housekeeping? Yup! (See cleanliness discussion above, though). Another plus: facilities for disabled guests. They’ve got a convenience store nearby for snacks, and a place to grab some essential condiments. This is the real world!

Things to Do and Ways to Relax: Minimalist Zen

Okay, so this isn't a destination spa. Don't expect a spa, sauna, or even a particularly impressive swimming pool. This is a crash pad, remember? What they do have, and I’m not kidding, is a certain peacefulness. I mean there's nothing to do - that's the plus point.

Available in All Rooms: The Comforts (and Quirks) of Home (Maybe)

Let's get real. You're not getting a marble bathroom here. That being said, It gets the job done. I mean, an alarm clock? Check. Free Wi-Fi? Double-check. Air conditioning? PRAISE THE LORD. The blackout curtains are a godsend. I'm a light sleeper. The desk is handy for… you know, pretending to work. I can’t give them a perfect score in this area.

The Real Deal – My Experience, My Truth:

I stayed here for a few days. It was fine. (Maybe that's damning with faint praise?) The staff? Mostly friendly, kind of indifferent. Not really what I was looking for, but did the job. Cleanliness? Ehhhh. The most important thing to me was a way to chill out and be alone. I can't explain it, but sometimes it just helps. This place does that.

The Offer: Your Budget-Friendly Frederick Adventure Awaits!

Okay, so you're still with me? Good! Here's the deal, the secret… and the best part.

• A Clean Place to Sleep: You wouldn't believe the other options.

Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this ain't your grandma's perfectly planned itinerary. This is… well, this. And it's probably gonna fall apart faster than a cheap tent in a hurricane. But hey, that's half the fun, right? Welcome to Frederick, Oklahoma, population… well, less than I expected. And Budget Inn by OYO? Let's see if it lives up to its name.

Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread at Budget Inn (Oh Boy)

• Time: 2:00 PM - Arrival at Budget Inn (Hopefully They Have My Reservation…)

  Right, so I drove for like, a zillion hours. Feels like. Arrived at the Budget Inn, and truth be told, my hopes weren't exactly sky-high. The exterior… well, let's just say it proudly displays the history of "weathering." I hope the bed isn't a slab of concrete. I’m already starting to question my life choices, specifically, the entire chain of events that led me to this moment. Did I really need to drive through Oklahoma? (Spoiler alert: probably not.)

  The check-in process was… efficient. The woman at the desk – she had a name tag, but the glare from the fluorescent lights of the lobby prevented me from reading it – was about as welcoming as a tax audit. But hey, she got me a room key, which is what I needed. It's a small victory.

• Time: 2:30 PM - The Room…(Deep Breath)

  Okay, okay, here we go. The door… doesn't quite close properly. I swear, I can see daylight peeking through the crack. The room smells faintly of… something. Maybe old cigarettes mixed with a hint of desperation? The decor screams "budget," which is fine, I am on a budget. The bedspread is a pattern that could either be floral or a Jackson Pollock painting after a brawl. Okay, it's a tad depressing. But I'm here. I'll survive. Maybe.

• Time: 3:00 PM - Inspection (And a Bit of Panic)

  Alright, gotta do the full inspection. Is there a coffee maker? (Phew, yes! Instant coffee, but still.) Does the TV work? (Yes! Though the remote looks like it's been through a war. And the cable selection is… limited. No HBO, no premium channels? Rats.) Are there any… creatures? (Quick glance under the bed… nope. Good.) I am starting to wish I’d brought a can of Lysol. This is where the real breakdown begins, I’m starting to get the feeling that everything could go wrong at any moment. I can feel it in my bones, I can taste it in the air. And this thought alone, this feeling of impending doom, makes me want to do laundry at 3:15pm.

• Time: 3:30 PM - Contemplating the Meaning of Life (Or at Least, Why I'm in Frederick, OK)

  I plop myself on the bed, which, surprisingly, isn't as hard as I feared. The TV flickers on, and I find myself staring at a rerun of a show I wouldn't normally watch. The silence of the room is broken only by the distant hum of the air conditioner, which sounds like a jet engine. I stare out the window at an empty parking lot and consider the fundamental question: why the hell am I in Frederick, Oklahoma? This is where the existential dread really kicks in. Did I make the wrong turn somewhere? Am I supposed to be here? Is there a way out? Maybe I should have stayed at home.

• Time: 5:00 PM - The Hunt for Dinner & The Local Gas Station Finally decided to brave the outside world. I'd seen a few fast-food places on the way in, but I was hoping for something… well, something other than that. (A restaurant maybe? A dinner? The possibility is exciting, but also overwhelming.) I went down the road and stopped at the local Gas Station, to gather some supplies. I may need a candy bar to feel better, and a coke. I hate to do this to myself, but I'm in a place where I'll need it soon. So, I purchased a chocolate bar, a coke, and a bottle of water.

• Time: 8:00 PM - Regrouping (Or Trying To)

  Back in the room. Ate my burger, watched some truly awful TV, and now, I’m staring at the ceiling. The "Do Not Disturb" sign is on the door. I’m officially hibernating. This place is…an experience.

Day 2: Local Lore & The Reality of Small-Town America

• Time: 8:00 AM - The Morning After (And the Mystery of the Continental Breakfast)

  Woke up! Which is a good start. Now, the real test: the continental breakfast. The words "continental breakfast" usually fill me with dread. I took a look down the halls, and walked to the breakfast area. I took a look at the offerings. Okay, two kinds of sugary cereal that look like they were invented in a lab. Stale muffins. Instant oatmeal. Coffee that tastes like… well, like the water I flushed in the toilet. (I'm kidding! Mostly.) I grabbed a lukewarm coffee. I think I'm going to sit and judge people while I eat my Breakfast.

• Time: 9:00 AM - Out and About (Trying to Find Something to Do)

  I decided to leave the hotel for a while. The Budget Inn was starting to feel like a prison. Drove around Frederick. It’s a small town. Like, really small. I thought about going to the Frederick Municipal Golf Course, but I'm not a golfer. I decided to go sight seeing.

• Time: 10:00 AM - The Tillman County Historical Museum: A Portal to Another Time

  This was actually pretty cool. I love museums. The Tillman County Historical Museum, housed in a former schoolhouse, was an eye-opener. It's filled with all sorts of things. Old farm equipment, local artifacts, and photos. I had a good time here.

• Time: 12:00 PM - Lunch at… (Where?)

  Okay, finding a place to eat lunch was trickier than I thought. The options were… limited. I eventually settled on the local diner, which was called the "Home Plate Cafe". The food was… decent. The company was better. The lady was friendly and the food filled the belly.

• Time: 2:00 PM - The Search for a Reason to Stay

  Back at the Budget Inn. The day is getting dull, and the hotel feels much smaller. I wish I could just go home. I need to do something to take me out of this mess. This is a problem, and I can't do anything about it.

• Time: 6:00 PM - Dinner and a Deep Dive into YouTube (My Best Friend) I gave up on adventure and got some more snacks I had forgotten to buy. I spent the rest of the night watching videos.

Day 3: Escape! (But Where To?)

• Time: 8:00 AM - Continental Breakfast: Attempt Two

  Okay, I'm not sure I can handle another experience like this. (I should have gotten more coffee yesterday.) I just stared. I think I'll stop.

• Time: 9:00 AM - Check-Out & The Great Escape

  Checking out was painless. The woman at the desk, the one from day one, was slightly friendlier. Or maybe I was just relieved to be leaving. I told her goodbye, and I drove away. I was on my way.

Overall Assessment:

The Budget Inn by OYO? I can't say I loved it. But it was… an experience. Frederick, Oklahoma? Also an experience. Would I recommend it? Probably not. But hey, I lived to tell the tale. And sometimes, that's enough.

Budget Inn by OYO (US-183) - Frederick, MD: The (Mostly) Honest Truth?

Okay, seriously... Is this place actually a "best kept secret"? Let's be real.

Alright, alright, let's cut the marketing fluff. "Best kept secret"? That's a *bold* claim. More like a… a quietly-appreciated, surprisingly-adequate pit stop on a long drive. Look, I've stayed here. Twice. The first time was a desperate, late-night scramble after a *disastrous* attempt to camp in the pouring rain. The second time? Okay, I admit it, I’m a cheapskate and it was the cheapest thing available. And you know what? It wasn't *terrible*. But "secret"? Nah. Everyone sees the giant billboard on 183.

What’s the vibe like? Is it… you know… sketchy?

Sketchy? Let's say it has *character*. Think… well-loved. Let’s put it this way, the first time I pulled up at 2 AM I definitely locked my doors. The parking lot… it's seen some things, okay? But, surprisingly, it felt mostly safe. The staff… they're usually behind bullet-proof glass, which is a little unnerving, but they're polite! And sometimes, you get the feeling they've seen your life, and are totally over it. That’s comforting in its own way.

Tell me about the ROOMS. Are they clean? Because I am *not* about to sleep in a biohazard zone.

Ah, the rooms. This is where things get… interesting. Look, they’re *clean enough*. Let’s be honest. Don't go in expecting the Ritz-Carlton. Expect… a room. With a bed. And hopefully clean sheets. Mine *mostly* were. I always do the "sheet test" – you know, the quick check for suspiciously placed hairs and mystery stains? Passed that test. Barely. The bathroom? Well, the water pressure's... enthusiastic. And the grout? Let's just say I brought my own shower shoes. But hey, the AC worked! In the dead of summer, that’s a win.

Okay... The breakfast. Is it actually breakfast? Or is it just… sadness?

*Breakfast.* Ah, the siren's call of the free breakfast. Prepare yourself for the bare minimum. This isn't a buffet, people. Think… pre-packaged pastries that taste vaguely of disappointment, instant coffee that could strip paint, and maybe, *maybe*, some sad, shriveled-up fruit. I once saw a banana that looked like it had been through the entire Spanish Inquisition. My advice? Grab a yogurt and pretend you're at a fancy spa retreat. Low expectations, folks. Low expectations. But it *is* free, which is a strong argument for putting up with a subpar start to the day.

Let's talk about the Wi-Fi. Because, you know, we live in the 21st century. Is it actually functional?

Oh, the Wi-Fi. It’s... present. *Sometimes.* Think of it as a fleeting connection, a whisper across the digital void. Don't plan on streaming anything. Don't even try to upload that vacation pic of your cat. I tried to check my email once, and I swear it took longer than downloading *War and Peace*. My advice? Download what you need before you get there. Bring a book. Embrace the enforced digital detox. You might actually enjoy it. You know, get in touch with nature, watch the cars go by on 183.

Okay, you've mentioned staying there twice. Give me the *real* deal. What’s the *one* thing you’ll always remember?

Okay, deep breath. Fine. Here's the story. My second stay. Trapped in a downpour, again. Needed a room, needed it *now*. Walked in soaking and miserable. Got checked in (behind the glass), key card, all that. Went to my room. Opened the door… and it smelled. Not just a hotel sort of smell. This was… a strong, slightly artificial, vaguely chemical-like smell. Like someone had tried to mask something with air freshener from the 1980s. I thought I was going to gag. I went back to the front desk, glass-protected lady, again, and asked if they could switch me. She sighed. *Sighed*. "Let me see what I can do." She gave me another key. This time… there was a party! And I’m talking about 15 to 20 people, a loud television, and a really strong aroma of… let's just say it wasn't the air freshener smell. I went back. I was *done*. I walked into the glass office and said, "I'm leaving. I can't sleep here. Please refund me." She looked at me. I didn't get a refund. I did, however, get a dirty look, which I'm still carrying around in my soul. So: be aware. Things might get a little weird.

So, bottom line… should I stay there?

Look, it depends. If you're broke, desperate, and just need a roof over your head? Sure. It'll do. If you're expecting luxury, pristine perfection, or a relaxing spa-like experience? Absolutely not. Go somewhere else, even if it costs you a little more. But if you have a sense of humor, are prepared for… the unexpected, and are okay with a little adventure (and maybe a healthy dose of disinfectant wipes), then the Budget Inn by OYO could be your… well, not your dream hotel, but definitely a story you'll tell. Just pack your own snacks and consider bringing a hazmat suit. Kidding! (Mostly.)

Are there any good restaurants or places nearby?

Okay, there's a *lot* of fast food. Seriously. You are in the land of the chain restaurant on 183. You have more options than you can shake a greasy French fry at. If you're craving something a little different, you'll likely be driving a bit. Downtown Frederick is about a 10 - 15 minute drive away and has some cool independent places. But hey, if the only thing you care about is food, make sure you pack your own (that awful free breakfast!).

So... is there a pool? Because after that story, I need to relax, and preferably in a pool.
