Mom and Pop hotel in Tulsa
 

I have to go to Tulsa in October for a conference in the Doubletree Hotel. I don't stay in huge, corporate hotels like Doubletree so I need a recommendation for something with some character. I like old and preferably unrenovated. Does old and charming exist in Tulsa? All the hotels online look like chains.

Help!

Not sure about Mom and Pop type places, but I do believe there are some B&B's in the Brookside area, which is old and charming. I'll see what I can find.

MacIntosh Inn is one near Brookside--do a google search for Tulsa B&B's and there is a website you will be directed to (more than one, actually) Enjoy Tulsa!

Thanks, mz.possum. Following your lead, I found The Crow's Rest, which looks very nice for the money. More of a charming farmhouse than the slightly seedy, atmospheric, old hotel I was seeking, but beggar's can't be choosers!

Thanks again!

You're welcome, jennyg. Hope you enjoy your stay. Check out Cherry Street, if you have time. Antique and other type shops--it's the "artsy" part of town.

There are two nice boutique hotels, both in old buildings and charming, but they are renovated. The Hotel Savoy is a few blocks outside downtown at 6th and Peoria, www.tulsasavoy.com.
The Hotel Ambassador is downtown, www.hotelambassador-tulsa.com. Their restaurant, The Chalkboard, is excellent.
Which Doubletree is your conference at? There is one downtown and one at Warren Place.
Do check out Cherry Street and Brookside.
Enjoy- October is a great time in Tulsa.
