Since moving to Chapel Hill I've noticed that there are two nice boutique type hotels on or next to campus - Carolina Inn and The Franklin Hotel. The latter is on Franklin Street which is like a larger version of campus corner.
Anyway, this has me wondering why there isn't something like this on OU's campus. I think a lot of people who stay along the highway would rather stay on campus. Obviously the place would be packed for football games but clearly that wouldn't pay the bill. I know OU has hotel like accomodations but none of the ones I've seen really match up with a nice hotel.
My wife and I were married at the Noble Museum a few years ago and we really wanted guests to be able to stay in a nice hotel on campus but we were forced to stay along the highway - losing much of the OU experience in the process.
Anyway, it's not my thing but one of you guys with money and connections should buy 2 or 3 old houses on Boyd Street and build a Boyd Hotel or Oklahoma Hotel or something.
