THE CHARLES WESLEY MOTOR LODGE

Established in 1934 in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, The Charles Wesley Motor Lodge is founded on tradition and specializes in hospitality. For the weary traveler and the weekend sightseer, all 50 rooms offer the comforts of home at a reasonable price... The Hotel opened in 1911 as a sawmill boarding house operated by Dora Wood and assisted by her 11 year-old son, Charles Wesley Kemp. When asked by his mother what would be an appropriate name for the hotel, he replied "My name is Charles Wesley,. Let's name it the Charles Wesley"... However, Mrs. Wrights said her husband Ross did most of the work and that it was a job that took "from daylight until dark. We served three meals a day - at mealtime. We didn't say open all day like they do now."
