Best Hotels near St. Philip Neri University Parish, Tulsa

Stayed here one night while passing through Tulsa. The hotel is pretty new and is in a great location; it’s walking distance to plenty of restaurants. There’s also a rooftop bar with a great view of the city. It’s open to the public which is slightly odd. We didn’t know it was Pride so we’re surprised at how busy the city and the hotel were. Checking in wasn’t the best. Despite booking two rooms they put us on different floors. I understand it was a busy night but I know for a fact plenty of other groups were put on the same floor. They did eventually move up to the same floor but only after some negotiation. The rooms themselves were nice and clean. The room with one bed felt much larger and had a seating area. The bathroom was good too with a decent shower. There was a very loud fan in the bathroom that would not turn off which was annoying. Despite the room being nice, everything went downhill from there. There was a large group of people staying on our floor who were divided between at least four rooms. They had clearly been drinking all day and were being very rowdy. From 10pm onwards they kept coming in and out of all their rooms, making an insane amount of noise in the corridor. They were shouting, arguing and taking really loudly. They kept all the doors to their rooms open and were basically treating the hallway as an extension of their rooms. We rang the front desk multiple times to get them to talk to the people but they did nothing helpful. I think they maybe sent someone up at one point but it did nothing. We even tried to reason with them but got nowhere. The hotel staff dealt with the situation very badly. They should never have allowed a group that large into the hotel. Spreading them over an entire floor was always going to be a bad idea. I can’t say I’d recommend this hotel. It doesn’t seem well run despite looking good and being in a nice location.

Only complaint was 2 of the 3 elevators were down. After that staff was great. Nice rooms to

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).

Night personal more pleasant to guests than morning personal. Got on his bad side w/o trying. Room was clean (checked for bed bugs, it passed inspection) wifi was good, TV channels had wide variation. (It had CNN) breakfast was included, had a fair amount of choices.
