Once again I made the trip from Australia to attend the Quarter Horse World show. As I had written in my review from the previous year I had a wonderful stay, and that I would return the following year. Well I was true to my word and was not disappointed. I booked online, landed at OKC airport, jumped on the hotel shuttle, that happend to be there picking up other guests. Check in was again quick and easy and I was pleasantly surprised to be offered a cheaper AQHA rate than the AAA rate quoted on line.
I travelled solo and stayed for 14 nights. I found the hotel and its surrounds to be safe and had no issue with walking after dark to a restaurant or to the western outfitters across the road. The room was clean and well set up with a comfortable bed, large screen TV, great vanity/bathroom area, fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, fridge and vending machine nearby (for late night munchies), laundry, and a safe deposit box for valuables. There were gym facilities, outdoor pool (great in summer no doubt) and I noticed an indoor spa close by. Every thing I needed was there. Free Wi Fi in room was new and very useful.
Free breakfast was again excellent with choices for all tastes. Evening meals seved in the restaurant were reasonably priced and high quality and service was assured. The hotel lobby is a pleasant place to sit and read the paper, use the computer, wait for the shuttle or meet fellow travellers.
Again I made use of the shuttle service to go to the fairgrounds, Stockyards and downtown. I would call for a pickup, often late at night. The service was courteous and efficient and was advised if the driver was busy and may be delayed. Overall had a wonderful stay and found it to be great value for money. Totally recommend this hotel for people attending the many large horse shows and events held at fairgrounds, especially overseas and first time visitors to OKC, and women travelling solo.
I will return for a third time for sure and can't wait.
Room Tip: Ask for one of the quieter rooms away from the freeway noise.
Possibly avoid the pool area in summ...
