Hotels Near The Blue Dome in Tulsa

First, The location is fantastic. The room was large and the bed comfortable. The staff were all very nice and welcoming from the valet to front desk to wait staff and the maid. I really appreciated the added security of having m the elevator not stopping on floors 2-5 (the rooms) without using your room key. The bathroom was very nice. It had a wall mounted shower head and a hand held shower. There was a shelf for your things and a full glass door that other IHG hotels didn’t have. Also, plenty of towel bars and hooks. Yeah! The first floor restaurant is ok, not all that but decent. The roof top bar is beautiful with good views of the city. Lovely at sunset. My only real negative is the noise. The train noise is all night long. I didn’t believe trains are that long but I guess they are. If you are a light sleeper ask for a room on the other side of the hotel. Also people were letting their room doors slam very early and late.

There was a prolonged heat dome over Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago and it was no time for a hotel's AC to be having problems, but alas that was the case with the Aloft Tulsa Downtown. Two rooms we were given on the 10th floor had thermostat set to 68 but room temperatures of 79 and 81. Then we got moved to the 3rd floor, which was good the first day but then had the same problem the second day. The afternoon/evening desk person was nice and apologetic each time we came with an issue. Eventually a maintenance guy came up to the room at 10:30 at night and worked on it for a while. He managed to get it to where the temp would top out at 75 or so, which was livable. But it wasn't just a room issue; the whole hotel seemed to be struggling, as corridors were not cool and the desk people were keeping the lobby door open and had a large fan blowing at them. Otherwise, the room was clean and enjoyable, with a high ceiling and plenty of boutique touches similar to other Alofts. One of us didn't like how the bathroom was arranged with a sliding door and no good place to put the bathmat after a shower. The other of us was okay with the layout but didn't like that the middle position of the bathroom faucet gives hot water to drink. There are food items including a variety of items for breakfast on sale in the lobby. There is a pool that guests seemed to be enjoying and an outdoor table area and patio from which we could watch sunsets. The morning desk person had lots of interesting advice for things to see or do in Tulsa or outlying areas. For what it's worth, the Apple Maps app has the wrong idea where the hotel is and will take you to location that does you no good. You need to go to Denver and Fifth, then past the Tulsa County Central Library, and that's where the entrance is. Then once you've found it, there's a gate that has to open for you, both entering and leaving. And if you're just out for a walk, there are different gates for a human to use, which require a code to get back in - be sure to ask the desk person because they don't inform you otherwise. The reason for all that security may be the immediate area, which is not that appealing. Despite being the downtown, there isn't much going on there, even on weekdays. And sadly there is a homeless problem in the area, especially in front of the aforementioned library (which is a great facility if you go inside). About the most normal activity comes in the morning when lawyers and others enter the Tulsa County Courthouse which is opposite the library. Now maybe the area is more active when there is an event at the BOK Arena a couple of blocks away, or a convention is taking place at the Cox Business Center right behind the hotel, but when were there for three days, the area was just not happening (in stark contrast to Bricktown in OKC, where we had been previously).

The room could’ve been cleaner, but the location was great. The hotel has a good restaurant and bar combination. Nothing too fancy, but very convenient. We’re actually staying again tonight as our business dealings have extended our stay in Tulsa.

We were there for the Eagles concert and were flying out the next morning. Hotel is very dated, although trying to act like they're better than they are. Not there much, but after wife washed her face the sink was stopped up and filled with ugly grey-black water. Best part of hotel is the location and easy shuttle to airport.

Nina at the front desk helped me and she was awesome! I needed some help with printing several documents that I had misplaced and needed for a meeting. When I went to the front desk to ask for help, Nina was there with a smile and asked how she could assist. She quickly stopped what she had been working on and insisted on helping me right away. Nina printed the documents that I needed and delivered quickly. This was the only time that I have been in a pinch like this and needed help immediately and I was so happy that Nina was there to help me. She is great!

I was locked out of my room on the third afternoon. During my conference. Room #850 The Hotel said the booking was for 2 nights and asked me to leave or pay another $150.00. Because I already paid for the room I said no Then they had security remove me from the room and I left the Hotel.

We enjoyed our second stay at River Spirit! We stayed on a weekday so the hotel was not very busy and they let us pick which floor we wanted to be on. We got a top floor room with a great view! We ate dinner at the restaurant inside the ******, Fireside Grill. It was pretty tasty and affordable. Our server was also great! There seems to be some sort of live entertainment every evening and we enjoyed the musician playing in one of the Margaritaville areas. Just an FYI that smoking is allowed in certain areas of the ****** and it can get a little overwhelming in certain areas depending on who is sitting next to you. We already have our next stay planned!

I arrived late in the evening after a very long day. Unfortunately, unlike my Profile on another hotel chain, you can not request a room away from the elevator, Marriott has an option to select a room near elevators but not away from. Room 215 is directly across from the two elevators and is next door to the mechanical room. I realized in the middle of the night the sounds I kept hearing was not the AC unit cycling but the elevators hydraulics each time a car when up or down. I strongly suggest anyone bothered by sounds at night to avoid this room. I normally ask at check in but this time I forgot. Lesson learned. The hotel staff were friendly at check in and room was clean. There were a few stains on the carpet by the door but no other issues.
