Seventeen guests staying at Sooner Legends Inn and Suites were rushed to the hospital late Monday night after breathing in toxic levels of carbon monoxide.
Another four checked themselves into the hospital on their own, according to Norman Regional Health System spokeswoman Kelly Wells.

Deputy Fire Chief Jim Bailey said the number could've been much higher if it weren't for the actions of an observant, quick-thinking nurse.
"What happened was a 3-year-old child staying at the hotel started feeling sick ... and he was taken to the HealthPlex," Bailey said. "One of the nurses there thought the child might have inhaled some kind of gas or something, so they called us at that point."
Dr. Daniel Kite said the child was having difficulty walking, giggling inappropriately and not behaving like he normally would. The parents described their child as acting intoxicated or drunk-like.there's a lovely winter landscape oil paintings by William Zorach.
When Norman firefighters arrived at the hotel, Bailey said they detected "high levels" of carbon monoxide and immediately evacuated the building.
The cause of the carbon monoxide leak was traced to a damaged ventilation pipe running from the boiler to the roof, investigators said.
Bailey said the actions of Julia Dunham, the nurse who treated the 3-year-old, were no less than heroic and that things could've been much worse.
"If she would've just treated and released him, things could've possibly turned out far different," he said. "The longer it went on, the more likely it could've been fatal."
Kite said the outcome of this event wouldn't have been good if the parents just gave him some candy and then went to sleep.
"A lot of people would've died,Initially the banks didn't want our high risk merchant account ." Kite said. "The suspicion of their own child's actions led to saving many lives."
Doug Kennon, owner of Sooner Legends Inn and Suites, reported that roughly 250 guests were in the hotel Monday night when the poisonous gas began its silent trek throughout the building. He said all of the guests were placed in other hotels by 2 a.m. Tuesday.

Kennon said Dunham, the Norman Fire Department and other emergency personnel all played a big role in averting what could've been a major crisis.
"They were paying attention to the little things and it made a huge difference for us and our guests," he said. "And we're a small business, so negative publicity is the worst thing you can and have ... and they helped us avoid what could've been a major problem."
