The Hennessey Sleep Inn Hotel has been listed for sale at public auction. The auction will be conducted by Lippard Real Estate & Auction based in Enid and listed as a No-reserve auction. This means whatever the high bid is the property will sell.
The hotel was originally constructed in 2013 by Hennessey contractor Kevin Fuksa of KT Development for the current owner, Hennessey Hotels, LLC & Hennessey Inn and Suites, Inc.
Pryor to this hotel, Hennessey only had one motel located on the east side of town at the intersection of N. Mitchell and Hwy 51. The Colony House motor lodge and restaurant included a multi-unit motel and meeting room, a restaurant with a full kitchen and party/meeting room, family living quarters, and an in-ground pool.
Russel and Pauline Richter and their two children, Sara and Kevin, moved to Hennessey from Marysville, Kansas, in October 1964 to live in and operate the motel. Over the years, the Motel changed hands several times. In 2001, Ray and Dayna Gilbert, originally from Coweta, Oklahoma, purchased it and changed the name to the Sawmill Inn. Ray and Dayna worked to improve the Motel, but in 2003, a devastating fire destroyed the restaurant.
According to the auction company, this will be a live on-site auction, but you can also bid online. The auction will take place at the Sleep Inn & Suites Hotel at 600 N Main S, Hennessey, OK, on October 30 at 10 a.m. CT.
The property is listed as a very nice 3-story, 50-room hotel with an adjoining 3,025 sq. ft. event center. The entire property has approximately 77,927 sq. ft. and a large parking lot.
