Hotels near The Criterion in Oklahoma City

Great staff--suite was really nice , clean with comfortable bed. Great location to see much of OKC--all walking distance. Great breakfast. Friendly staff. Quiet. Safe gated parking in the back. Would highly recommend.

Tammy was very helpful over the phone when I had questions about reservations and was professional and friendly during our entire stay. She gave several options and wanted to ensure we were provided what we were looking for. The hotel is within walking distance of restaurants and convenience stores. We had a peaceful and quiet night even though the hotel is close to the road.

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.

Service was friendly and the location was great. Breakfast was a good variety and good. Overall nice and would recommend.

ok ok, generally

If you can accept the price, it is a very good hotel, good location, downtown, convenient transportation, opposite the hotel is the home of the OKC basketball team. Remind to change the shower gel, did not change, the second reminder sent a snack apology. There is valet parking service.

My husband and I had a great stay. The front desk staff he is friendly and very helpful. The Rooms are very clean and the beds are perfect. We will definitely be going back.

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.

Just stayed here as part of my Route 66 trip and it was in the top 3 best hotels I’ve stayed on this trip. What a gorgeous boutique place this is—Hilton outdid itself with this Curio brand hotel. The lobby holds a cozy public sitting area, and all the people I encountered at the front desk were engaging, friendly, and helpful. (The lobby has this relaxing spa-like smell that sets a restful tone for your stay). The room was incredibly spacious and it was one of the few hotels post-Covid-19 that actually had pens and pads. The interior decorating in the Colcord has the feel of a high-end luxury hotel. My view overlooked a botanical garden, and walking the area felt safe. The attached restaurant, Flint, offered a varied menu (great food—my scallop appetizer was one of the freshest I’ve ever had in a land-locked state) and an incredibly friendly staff. I hope to stay here again, and I hope they maintain this level of comfort and service.
