Aloft Oklahoma City Downtown - Bricktown
3.8/5100 Reviews
Downtown Oklahoma City
First let me start by complimenting the staff. Customer service was excellent and friendly. Also we were provided bottles of water whenever we needed them. Unfortunately it goes down hill from here. I booked this weekend girls trip based on staying at an Aloft in another city and was excited about our stay until we stepped foot in the door. First thing we noticed after a very hot walk with our luggage from the train station is that there is NO AC in the common areas. Temps outside are ranging from 90-110 degrees! They had a fan blowing on the hotel receptionist-if I was an employee there, I would not stay. Come to find out it hasn't been fixed in over a year! WHAT???? are you kidding me? Part of the draw to hotels is being able to hang out in the commons areas, play some games, lounge on the couches and enjoy a breakfast without sweating in it. So we had to stay in our room if we wanted to cool off between sight seeing. Second- we were very excited we could hang out in the pool since inside the hotel was not refreshing. I am no pool expert but I don't think pool water should be cloudy. I have a feeling that there is little to no maintenance done. To me, pool water should be clear and PH properly monitored and kept up. I didn't have a water testing kit but it was not inviting to swim in-very disappointing. (there was a guy picking up trash around the pool in the mornings so I guess that was something) Third- Furniture, rugs and other items in the common areas, around the pool and in the hotel room we stayed in were dirty, stained and worn. The sticker decorations in the elevators were tattered in places and just cheap looking. Fourth-hotel room itself. Sink and counter were cracked. Water pressure was barely enough to rinse shampoo from hair and the lighting was so dark in the shower you could barely see. Tile looked like it had not been cleaned in a while. Beds were comfortable enough but you really ought to provide more than one chair in a room with 2 double beds. Air conditioner worked fine but smelled a bit musty.
Candlewood Suites Oklahoma City - Bricktown
4.2/597 Reviews
The room was very clean, spacious, beds and pillows comfortable with great mattress. We had a one bedroom suite on the backside of hotel. Room was quiet, no thin walls or creaky floors here. We were on 3rd floor during exceptionally hot June for 7 nights, and the air conditioning kept us cool. Kitchen comes with full size fridge, 2 burner stove, and dishwasher. The employees were friendly and helpful. This hotel is in a very convenient location to Bricktown and downtown, but not sure I’d want to walk that far. It’s not really in Bricktown, but it’s very close, less than a 5 minute drive. The water pressure was good, towels are fluffy, and they use Dove toiletries. The only complaint we have is that they don’t have their own pool, they share it with a couple of other extended stay hotels and it’s nearer to a different property. It’s not far, across the parking lot, but not convenient when you’ve got bad knees. We would definitely stay here again because of the clean, comfortable, quiet room, but not for the pool!
AC Hotel Oklahoma City Bricktown

Downtown Oklahoma City
Not quite so expensive as the other nice places in bricktown. Definitely a lesson in making sure that you double check a few things before staying. Clean and spacious lobby. Main desk staff was friendly and got us checked in quickly. Whole place was clean. Room easy to find. The room and the lobby and the whole hotel has a classy, ultra modern feel. Think IKEA for the expensive gin crowd. At the end of a long day, when we wanted to easily check in and relax, this place was a little precious. The only hotel parking was valet parking. The pay parking lot across the street was $40 per day. Not the $10 that the hotel web site listed. We had to park 2 blocks away in an unattended surface lot. I hope we still have our catalytic converter this morning. Getting settled in our room was a trick. The walls were dark colored, the floor dark colored, and the light switches were tough to find. When we did find them, they only controlled the indirect under-bench lighting. So we stumbled through the room in the mostly dark, looking for switches. We found them… subtle little rocker switches on the wall lights. Once we got that sorted, we were comfortable. The room was clean, efficiently laid out, and comfortable. Plumbing worked and heater worked, and the fit and finish was a step nicer than the usual slapdash hotel interior construction. Wifi was a pain in the rear. All of our devices had trouble getting to the login page. I called the desk and they advised restarting my device or “turning off my firewall”. Uh, no, I’m not going to turn off my firewall on an open wifi. And my phone and tablet don’t have firewalls that you can turn off. I tried rebooting all of our devices a couple of times with no result. Then, without changing anything on our end, the login screen appeared and all devices connected. I’ve seen this before, and it typically involves the _hotel_ rebooting the router. It was working, so we moved on with our lives. Good thing I didn’t need the connection for work. Breakfast is not free, and we were surprised because we could have sworn that we searched for that specifically on TripAdvisor. Oh, well. There’s a hotel kitchen and a few places in bricktown to get breakfast. Lucky for us, we weren’t in a hurry to get up and out and on the road. The shower head can be set very high. I’m 6’ 4”. I appreciated that. All in all, you’re paying for upscale-ish look and feel here, not the amenities. The look and feel really is nicer than usual, though really not my taste. If you like dark browns and lots of glass and don’t mind paying for extras, this place might suit you. If you like simplicity and convenience, look elsewhere.

I would like to use it if there is another opportunity. There are many shops in the vicinity and it is convenient. There is no problem with the meal. The room was not a problem in particular.
Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Oklahoma City - Bricktown, OK
4.2/5107 Reviews
This hotel delivered much more than we were expecting. Everyone was very kind, the rooms were lovely, and they even have long-term studio type rooms with a kitchen! We didn’t have time for the pool, but it was much bigger than most and looks really clean. The breakfast was amazing (it’s been so long since we’ve gotten hotel waffles lol) and they have complimentary coffee and tea out the entire day.
SpringHill Suites Oklahoma City Downtown/Bricktown
4.3/598 Reviews
Downtown Oklahoma City
I would give this hotel 5 stars. The location is perfect if you feel like walking around Bricktown. There is no need to take your car. The Criterion is right next door, and I love that the Devon tower is visible from the entrance. The staff was extremely polite and helpful, and made my partner and I feel very welcome. The only downside was that the toilet seat looked like it had not been cleaned properly and we found a candy wrapper in the hair dryer bag. I would appreciate it if they could take better care of those things. Other than that, the rest of the room was impeccable and our stay was wonderful. Thank you, SpringHill Suites!
