Hotels Near Maxwell Park Library in Tulsa

Room was clean. Coffee and tea were generous. Bathroom was well lit and mostly clean, but things are a little worn or cracked in corners and edges. Bed was comfortable and linens were soft and smooth. The reception was a grand area with stylish furniture. Staff is courteous and helpful. Oh yeah, so I went to the hotel gym for a light workout. As I am busting out some dumbbell curls and presses I notice this older guy in washed denim overalls with one strap hanging down and a slim female trainer exercising next to me. She spoke with a slight accent, which was curious to me. Then I realized that the guy was Bruce Springsteen. Hah! Well, nothing unusual- just people staying fit. I finished my workout and went on my way. It is a nice hotel with a great location.

I hate having to leave a poor review and sound like an angry old man, but I find tall reviews useful when booking hotels for business travel. Unfortunately this property completely missed the mark for me and I will certainly not return or recommend. As a frequent traveler and a Diamond Member at Hilton I have come to expect the typical great customer service and the little things that make business travel easier. Of all the properties I have stayed at, this was easily the most difficult to navigate. While the property is fairly new, and nice, with a great downtown location, logistically it is a disaster. The parking situation is easily the worst I have experienced at any hotel in my years of travel. If you are driving a car, DO NOT STAY here. I prefer hotels with valet, but if no valet, easy in and out parking is definitely expected. There is limited parking spaces available for hotel customers in the outside lot directly next to and behind the hotel, This is a shared lot and not under the ownership of the hotel, they only get a certain number of spaces per night. The lot itself is not clearly marked, so if you park in the wrong spot you will receive a $125 ticket. That will be reduced to $35 if you pay within 15 days. This is obviously a problem and the hotel is well aware of it. There are signs everywhere in the hotel and confusing instructions that I guess you are supposed to memorize. These signs are obviously difficult to comprehend as there were 4-5 other guests the same evening, who, like myself, were confused and received parking tickets. Its apparent they have no real interest in addressing this situation. The even more disappointing part of it is the staff could care less. Speaking with the person at the front desk trying to get clarity she was dismissive, condescending and had zero interest in my concern. She had no problem if we canceled our four rooms and switched hotels. Which I tried, but rooms downtown were at a minimum, so we stuck it out and made it through night 2 with zero issues. If you travel a lot and expect easy access and accommodating service I would steer clear of this property. For those who prefer Hilton, there is a Doubletree property a few blocks away, I would recommend that over this place. My worst Hilton experience in several years as a loyal Hilton customer, thus the one star review. I will certainly not be back.

Overall an excellent hotel. The hotel staff is very friendly and very accommodating. Rooms are very clean and laid out in a way that is great for our environment.

If you are like me, you have a fondness for the Holiday Inn Express brand due to their bright and white themes and customer conveniences. This location is neither. The colors are old, mustards, and dark browns, with plenty of rust on bathroom fixtures, scratches on furniture, and a microwave oven straight from the 70’s. Conveniences are gone as it would appear the owners are doing anything and everything in their power to save a dime: equipment in the workout center is out of order and the water cooler is missing the water. Towels in the pool area are non-existent, available only by checking in at the front desk. The small bottle of body lotion in the room was only half full - (leftover from a previous guest?) and the microwave left food stone cold. Breakfast was drab and though the advertised time was until 9:00 AM, the worker was closing the area down at 8:58 and exiting the area at 9:02. Clearly zero interest in hospitality. You should also know that the third & fourth floors are both being renovated, so neither of these floors are available. This construction makes for a dismal view out the room window. I did learn one thing though. I chose this location after studying Trip Adviser and seeing twenty straight 5 star reviews. After looking at the reviews again, I noticed the majority of these reviewers only made one contribution to Trip Adviser, and that was to praise this hotel. I leave you to form your own opinion with this information.
