What to do in Tulsa
Tulsa: Indoor History Tour with Oil Baron's Tunnel
"Great hotel. You do have to walk through the casino with kids to get to some of the stuff and it’s a smoking facility so that part wasn’t great but overall everything else was great and the quick eat options the food prices were awesome for being in a casino/hotel."
"We stayed here before and really the downtown location. Stay and staff were great. Breakfast pretty good for complementary. Small issue of difficulty finding a functional fridge on 3 tries, but management was kind enough to pick up the tab for valet parking as compensation for lost food, so I give them credit for that. I would stay at Hyatt, and this property, again."
"The staff is really nice. The hotel room is really clean. It was a really peaceful environment. I normally book a room at the Marriott, but I decided to stay here instead and I made a wonderful choice. It’s right next to the airport so it was really easy to return my rental and catch my flight back home. This will be the only place that I book moving forward."
