We spent a night here on a long drive from Ohio to San Diego. It is in a group of hotels. It is smaller compared to other Express hotels where we have stayed. There is only an outdoor pool here, no indoor. It was only 52 so we didn't use it. The fitness center was nice. Breakfast was ready promptly... More

It's been painted and it's well run. It's cared for but for the price - you could find newer and more fresh Holiday Inn locations in Tulsa. The walking distance to places to eat, other hotels is good. Beds are like memory foam, which for me ( have one at home ) is a good thing.

First I want to say I agree with all the reviews praising the hotel staff - they were very helpful and friendly and I had no problem whatsoever with the staffing. The rooms were clean and modern and breakfast was good. The central location was great, as we had business both in North and South Tulsa so the central location... More

Stayed here after leaving a horrible Holiday Inn in Joplin, Missouri. Staff was great and the hotel was clean and modern. Will make sure this is my location the next time I come here for work. This is in the 1% of this chain's hotels.

Made our annual trip to Tulsa and once again chose this HI Express to be our home base for the week. Staff was friendly, rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable.
