The Hampton Inn in Sand Springs is just outside of Tulsa to the west--if you look east you can see the downtown skyline not that far away--but it's definitely not in Tulsa. The hotel is on a frontage road shared with an apartment complex and nothing else. Within a mile are a K-Mart and a few forgettable chain restaurants. There is nothing within walking distance--and no sidewalks, anyway.
The hotel itself is perfectly fine. It meets all the Hampton standards, has a pleasant lobby and breakfast area, and the rooms are great. No complaints about the hotel at all. But the neighborhood is, well, depressing in a blandly suburban way.
About a mile west is a crazy great pawn shop called Whitey's Tool and Pawn. Every kind of tool you could ever imagine can be found there. That was the highlight of Sand Springs.
