We liked comfortable beds and pillows and chairs. The Internet Wi Fi was very fast and good. The cleanliness of the Lobby and Rooms were very good. The front desk was helpful and very professional. The parking lot had plenty of spaces for all the cars. Also the hotel and rooms were very quiet.

Big room, Nice and clean!

Talked to the new GM he's been here 5 weeks now. Covid 19 put a halt to remodeling. I told him the previous reviews worried me but I needed truck parking which they have. I was pleasantly surprised, my room was clean and comfortable, bed was decent and bath satisfactory. If the previous reviews were accurate he's made a big difference. I would definitely stay again if in the area with my truck and look forward to the remodeled rooms when they can do it.

New General Manager

Was traveling through and stopped here for the night. Decent price and room was clean. Only complaint was the caulking around the bath tub had black mold and looked gross. 

Breakfast was good but attendant not very attentive and let the serving containers get totally empty before refilling. 

Front desk folks were friendly. 

Ok spot for overnight 

Clarion used to be a pretty good chain of hotels that had clean rooms. This hotel is very old and hammered. the rooms are big and the beds are very stiff. The hotel smelled like mildew and cigarettes. The furniture in the room was very dated and needs changed. 
This hotel needs to remodel to be called a Clarion. And the one in Broken Arrow is the same.

Ran down

Joining my "Only at the Last Resort" list, this Clarion almost gets a one-star. The single redeeming factor was, get this, the cat living outside of my room. The entire hotel smelled like mildew and mold (because it's been water damaged and "under renovation" for years), but, my room smelled like mildew mixed with human urine, mixed with general body odor and funk with a dab of cat urine on top (which I'll forgive because the cat made up for it). 

Upon arriving I was greeted by a friendly man who judging by our conversations was quite high on the totem pole. He failed to give me the WiFi password which was disappointing, but, not disappointing enough for me to bother asking for it. Oddly he also did not give me a key envelope and my genius self forgot my room number on the way to the room (forgive me, I've been in 3 different hotels in the last 3 days), which lead to me trying a few different possibilities before I found my room, the only room in the group of 4 that didn't have blue painters tape on the door indicating it was under construction. 

Thankfully, the AC in the room was cold and I was delighted to meet the cat for the first time as it scurried across the outside of the patio door. I dropped my bags on the bed and went outside to say hi, discovering the door leading to the first-floor patio (and probably permanently closed pool) was unlocked. The other good elements of the room were the shower cap (no, I don't put them over smoke detectors, who does that?), a full toiletry set (including makeup wipe), and a spare roll of toilet paper in addition to the full roll and box of tissues. Luxuries I've seen forgotten at other budget properties. 

I didn't do much venturing out of my room thanks to my patio (and the fact that it's basically a construction site all throughout the property), but, the few times I did, the other guests seemed interesting and the parking lot seemed like not the safest place to be. But, I didn't hear anything throughout the night, my car didn't get broken into, and the fire alarm didn't go off, so I'll say overall, it seemed decently safe on a Saturday night. The fellow reviews of this place seem to indicate you may run into some down on their luck people throughout the property, and that wouldn't surprise me at all.

The pillows and bed were quite lumpy, but, thanks to the cold AC, and the fantastic blackout curtains, I slept quite decently. The shower, while extremely old and dirty, provided more than ample water pressure. So much water pressure in fact that I almost caused another flood at the property after not realizing that the shower head was spraying out of the tub as I was letting it warm up. I also managed to clog the toilet, which fellow reviewers complained about, and I noticed the water will be turned off for an undetermined period of time in the next few days, which I take to mean this property has major, major plumbing problems, unsurprisingly. 

I skipped reviewing the check-out experience as I had already lost hope in this place due to the putrid smell of the room. It was so bad that I almost puked walking back into it after getting my dinner. The wonderful smell of vomit greeted me walking out the back door and I was very happy to see my car wasn't broken into so I could get as far away from this dump as I could. 

In all actuality, the cat may bring me back, and probably kept me from going to the Sleep Inn next door. I wasn't able to get it to walk inside but it seemed happy watching me through the door and I didn't want to leave it. Hopefully, the renovations finally get completed (according to the Choice Hotels website, they'll be complete 9/15/21), without scaring or relocating the cat, because the owner/manager seemed like a decent enough dude and I'd like to see this place turn back into a decent property. But, I have a feeling it'll become an animal shelter before it becomes a decent property.

Nope. Try again after the renovations, if they ever get done.

I only got the room for one night. The hotel is dated and in need of room work. I slept well and got up early and left. My shower had rust in it and the toilet wobbled. I didn't have any noise issues and check-in was easy though. With Covid going on I was in and out and didn't see if the hotel had any other amenities. The price reflected what I got. I would choose something different if through the area again.

Clarion Tulsa

I so wanted to give this hotel a good review because the staff were very nice, but I can’t do it. This establishment looks nice on the outside: sufficiently lighted, parking lot well laid out, nice shrubbery. It is conveniently located for all we needed to do. Lobby is large and pleasant looking, but pretty dated. Breakfast room is quite large. The clerk was friendly. Walking toward our room, we noticed how old, dated, and unclean the carpet looked. The elevator was very quick, but the floor of it was very worn and dirty looking, like it had never been cleaned. The key card took wizard skills to open the door. During our stay of several days, the finagling of the key card sometimes worked on the third time, but often took a dozen tries. Our second floor suite was on the end, and pleasingly large. It was sadly outdated in furnishings, the carpets were badly stained in numerous places, and looked as if the room had never been thoroughly cleaned. The bedroom door had holes in it, big ones. There were four lamps in the bedroom, but only one worked. Thinking it was the bulbs, we informed the front desk, and someone soon delivered a couple of bulbs to our room. Upon further investigation, we learned that three of the four were unplugged, and it took some effort to get them plugged in due to receptacle locations, and cords down behind the bed (it was filthy back there). The third lamp had no place to plug it in. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was pretty quiet. We had a balcony, which was useless as it was very narrow, and had no seats. The shower took some figuring out. We travel extensively, and so are used to various types of facets, but this was the first to turn to the middle to get hot water. The bedroom portion of the suite just could not cool down enough, although the living/ dining part was pleasant enough. The first day, housekeeping consisted of replacing towels only. Second day, I asked her to please also empty the waste baskets. Third day, I requested a complete room clean, plus replacement of the coffee condiments packages. Returned to the room, to find a used washcloth hanging in the shower, and one less towel than before. The pool area is nice, and I enjoyed it; however, the decorative plantings were overgrown with weeds. Breakfast was fine. I loved the spaciousness, and the layout of this room, but no way I will return unless the whole place gets a remodel, and staff is trained in proper cleaning and maintenance procedures.

Just, no

We were not planning on stopping overnight in Tulsa, but the severe weather forecast that day (and at the urging of a friend of ours who happens to be a weather forecaster at a Tulsa TV station), precipitated a change in plans.  I do expect more from a Choice Hotel Clarion property, this one did not exactly deliver.  

As you walk down the hallways, there are "wiremold" electrical conduit lines running along the walls, many drooping.  The hallways also had a heavy, musty smell to them.  Our room was a suite on the 2nd floor - basically a really large room with few furnishings and a lot of stains in it, plus a leaky window.  The bed and bedding were fine, and certainly comfortable enough.  

I had read another review that mentioned no hot water.  I found that, since our room was at the end of a long hallway that the water heater must be some distance away, for it took about 90 seconds before I got water hot enough to shower.

As far as the stains in the room, they were not organic - I alerted the front desk and they did offer me another room if I wanted.  Mostly I wanted to make sure I wasn't dinged for the stains if they weren't previously reported.  They were polite about it...I try not to be indignant, as staffers respond better to kindness rather than being chewed out.  I was satisfied enough.

Breakfast was pretty good - plenty of protein on the hot food side (eggs, bacon, sausage), and the room was not terribly expensive.  We weathered a particularly nasty set of storms, and were thankful to have a place to wait it out. This Clarion served its purpose on this day.  We likely will not be returning to Tulsa anytime soon, as we were just driving through.  I just cannot recommend this place in its current condition.

Unplanned Stop in Tulsa

We have been staying at this hotel for many years now. We raise and show Arabian horses and the National showand several local shows are in Tulsa. Sadly this hotel has gone terribly downhill in quality. We used to book10-15 rooms for our group alone. Last year and this year the rooms have been dirty, management has been less than accommodating, and even the elevator quit and was not repaired for 2 years. Sad to say but we will be changing hotels. 

Nope, not worth it

Where do I even start with this dump?  I booked online about 8 months prior to travel dates and it looked nice on hotel.com pics.  When I arrived to check in, no one was at the desk and the lobby had the ceiling falling in and roped off.  There was another guest standing there to complain that the room they gave him had people in it.  He said the hotel was in great shape the previous year he stayed there but it had gotten extremely run down since; he said it had deteriorated so bad and they had stayed there multiple times in years prior.  The man behind me warned me about leaving our car parked there.  After I finally called the front desk to get someone there, a nice guy showed up to check us in.   He gave me a room key and told me he knew our room was clean because he was just in it, which I thought was odd.  We went down the stinky hall and got on the stinky elevator.  We got to our room and immediately noticed it reeked of pot and the smoke detector was beeping.  The floors were so dirty and stained.  There were holes in one wall where the light fixture had been ripped out and other light fixtures were missing covers.  The patio door had no lock and no barrier from the next room's patio.  They could've easily walked into our room.  And sitting right on the patio is the freshly smoked joint.  Now we know what the desk guy was doing in the room.  We left immediately and got a refund. And they charged my card with 3 separate room charges.   It is disgusting and unsafe.  Do not stay here.
