Hotels Near Ellis Walker Woods Memorial 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 stayed here for 3 nights as part of a conference being held on their at their on site conference center. The hotel grounds and common areas were in great condition. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The conference facilities were also top notch. It’s in a good area with lots of shopping and dining in the area if you have a car (most is a little far to walk). From the public facing elements, there’s not much to complain about. Until you get to your room. We had a suite for the conference and were extremely disappointed by the rooms. They are terribly in need of a refresh. The carpet was so loose that it had waves that you tripped over. It also had huge stains on it. The beds were fine but the chairs and couch in the suite were so old and dirty looking that nobody wanted to sit in them. Even the tables in the room were beaten to hell. It was a good sized pair of rooms that would have been nice if it had furniture purchased in the last decade. In the bathroom, the shower had a removable head attached to a bar you could move up and down. At its highest setting, my 5’2” wife couldn’t fit underneath it. I’m taller and had to use it exclusively in handheld mode. It was a dumb setup. The final issue that made me mad was they charged $12 for parking. They have a huge parking lot and are away from other businesses. There was no need to charge for the parking. If you want to charge for day conference attendees, fine but make it free for your guests. I would recommend looking elsewhere until they complete some upgrades.

Perfect
