Hotels near Bob Hoenig's Runner's World, Tulsa

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 arrived on a Thursday and left on Monday morning. Came to Tulsa to see Alice In Chains at the Brady Theater. This wasn’t the closest place to the venue, but after much research we decided to stay here for safety, accessibility to parks, restaurants, and 2 of our favorite grocery stores. Also based on the reviews of this hotel. I needed an ADA room with wheelchair access since I had my knee replaced just 4 weeks prior to this trip. This room was awesome! We could’ve had a wheelchair party with 100 wheelchairs! We got the one bedroom suite with king size bed. They probably fixed us up with the best room in the hotel for someone like me, who traveled earlier than Doctor wanted, and had to stay in bed most of the time lol. The room was huge, quiet, super clean and comfortable, and had a nice view of the skies when the thunder and lightning storms rolled in. Their landscaping is awesome. Every single one of the employees that we encountered, had a smile and were exceptionally friendly. They take pride in this hotel and it shows. I’ve got OCD and would never walk around without slippers in a hotel room, but felt comfortable doing in here when I couldn’t reach them due to mobility issues. We didn’t get to use the pool because storms but it was clean. The free breakfast was pretty good. It would’ve been better with fresh melons and berries but since the plandemic, those have been hard to come by on hotel breakfast menus. The seating area for breakfast was very nice, having indoor and outdoor options. Too bad I had to stay in the room most of the time, hooked up to my electric water cooler for knee inflammation, we would’ve taken advantage of that pool and sat outdoors when the weather was nice. Love love love this hotel. Give me an excuse to go back to Tulsa and we’ll be there!

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!

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.

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).
