Inn at Price Tower

"Originally conceived by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1924 for New York City, Price Tower is the taller of only two Wright skyscrapers ever built. (It found an unexpected home when Bartlesville-based oil-pipeline magnate Harold C. Price commissioned Wright to build his headquarters in 1951.) Now a 19-room hotel, it maintains the integrity of Wright’s original design, with mid-century-inspired fabrics and copper accents in the furniture and bathrooms—a nod to the oxidized copper louvers that adorn the exterior of the 19-story building. In typical Wright style, there’s not a right angle in the joint: Most of the rooms are triangular and afford vast views of the prairie through plate glass windows. Copper, the Inn’s restaurant, is the closest you’ll get to big-city dining in Bartlesville, and you can’t beat the penthouse views."

Received the BEST free verbal tour from the Front Desk Worker. She was delightful. Each floor I asked about, she let me know. 19 levels and toured them all in my mind. I will be going back for a real visual tour thanks to that young lady. If or when anyone gets a chance to tour their state snd hasn't, she will give a reason to. Just ask about wherever you are.

Stayed in one of the two story suites. Absolutely beautiful. You have to allow for the fact that the building is old - and you have to appreciate the age and beauty of the timeframe in which it was built. Bathrooms were smaller then, and FLW didn’t believe in taking up extra space for functional items. Everything in the room worked (with the exception of the in-room elevator), it was beautifully decorated. The bed was not very comfy, but not surprised with the minimalist style. Wish the restaurant had been open. But we wandered around and saw the museum. The evening gal at the front desk was very friendly.

Excellent!!! Great place to stay. Very unique rooms, fine in Frank Lloyd Wright style. Great restaurant. Cool museum and tour of the building. I think thy world's smallest elevators!!

The mid-century details and quirky Frank Lloyd Wright architecture were so much fun to experience and explore. It’s a truly unique hotel. Great service at reception. No amenities on site, but that isn’t why we came. It was perfect for a weekend getaway. They are pet friendly for furry friends under 30lbs which is nice. There is truly nothing at all to do in Bartlesville other than the Price Tower and the Woolaroc museum west of town, but we were content to order pizza and enjoy the two story sunset views from the room. Worth the trip!

My husband and I got married here 2 years ago and just came back to celebrate our anniversary! As always the staff is so friendly and helpful. The room was so clean and comfortable! It is a historical building and some areas are small, but everything has been preserved beautifully! I would highly recommend staying here when staying in Bartlesville! It is definitely worth the trip! My only regret was not scheduling a tour, but will definitely be doing that next time.

Worth every single penny you spend and every single mile you drive to get here. We stayed overnight in the two story queen room and truly felt sad when we had to checkout. It felt like you were in a time capsule surrounded by incredible art and architecture. The amount of room you have in a two story is abundant and relaxing. The staff were all incredibly professional and kind. We interacted with around 4 different staff members during our stay and they were all above and beyond. The geographical location isn’t very exciting and I also don’t suggest an out of towner to go wandering around in parts they don’t know. Appears to be a rough town. But when passing through to stay at the Price Tower, you won’t want to leave your room regardless because of how neat it is. Last thing worth mentioning is how quiet the rooms were. The entire hotel was sold out and we couldn’t hear a single person above us or beside us when in the room a single time. But then the moment you step in the hall, you’re able to hear the little noises coming from rooms while waiting for the elevator. The stay is very relaxing and neat. It’s something I won’t forget as long as I live.

We had stayed at Price Tower several years ago so we booked three rooms with family as part of a reunion weekend. Unfortunately everything had gone downhill since we last visited. The restaurant was closed - a homemade paper sign, taped on the front door, informed us of that fact. Check in was fine, though it was the receptionist who informed us that the bar-with-a-view we had enjoyed on our previous visit was also closed. No food on the premises and no bar would have been a deal-breaker for us, had we known. There was not even a coffee service in the room, so we had to leave the property just to get a cup. There was an ice bucket in the room, but you have to take it down to the receptionist who takes it away and brings it back, filled with ice. Our shower wouldn’t provide cold water, only hot - other rooms were the opposite, cold water only. Carpets needed to be cleaned badly, and the air conditioning struggled to keep us cool (the staff had placed an oscillating fan in the room to help.) Save yourself the headache and stay elsewhere when you’re in Bartlesville. Then book a tour of the property and learn how this Frank Lloyd Wright building became “the tree that escaped the forest.”

Checked in and was immediately overcome by a strong cleaning solution odor. The room had a fan running, and the carpet was wet. We opened the windows and left for a number of hours. When we returned, the odor was still strong. We called the front desk and explained the situation. The lady said she would move us to another room. Over an hour later, we were told that another room was available and we could pick up the key and move our things over. We were also told we would receive a credit to our bill. The new room was better, but we never received the promised credit. Very disappointing stay, will never stay here again.

First thing's first: adjust your expectations. This is a historic venue. Sometimes the showers take a long time to heat up and sometimes they stay lukewarm. Sometimes it's hot or cold because there are no individual thermostats. Fans and heaters are provided aa needed. I haven't stayed in the winter, but in the summer, once the sun goes down, with the fans, it's quite pleasant. I stayed in the king bed two story suite. It's airy, full of light, roomy, beautiful. I adore the tall windows. There is a TV upstairs and downstairs. The bed is plush and comfy and the linens crisp, fresh, and clean. The bathroom is quite small, but inline with FLW and the times. The facility gives tours and they are interesting and enlightening! There is a restaurant on site, open Tuesday through Saturday (reviewed separately). It's the closest thing you get to elevated in Bartlesville. They have trivia Tuesdays, wine Wednesday, live entertainment Thursday, karaoke Friday, and regular Saturdays. Staff is always wonderful. Highly recommended. But please don't rate this unique, historical site on the same plane as four seasons.

Are you a Frank Lloyd Wright aficionado? Keep reading... The Inn at Price Tower is a Wright time capsule and well worth the time and expense to visit this building and immerse yourself in the architectural experience. I'm a retired architect and a big FLW fan. The "hospitality side" (ie: what normal consumers expect from a hotel property) is pretty non-existent. Let me explain: Not to get into mechanical engineering weeds, but the building has a 2-pipe HVAC system. This means that the entire building is either heating or cooling depending upon the season. No matter how hot or cold you may be in your hotel room, if the system is in heating mode (wintertime) there is no A/C available. Likewise, if the system is in cooling mode (summertime), there is no heating available. We stayed 2 nights in early May so the heating was still on (kind of between seasons), but since there was an oscillating fan available in our room, we were fairly comfortable sleeping. Not really a biggie, just be aware of the building's heating/cooling limitations. The other thing really perplexing was that there was no coffee service available in the morning. The in-house restaurant did not offer breakfast, the Lobby area provided no guest coffee service and there was no in-room coffeemaker provided - weird! In the last 30 years of business travel I can't recall a similar situation. In order to get coffee, guests are required to walk 2 blocks to a local coffee shop that opens at 6am weekdays and 7am weekends. Super inconvenient from a "hospitality" standpoint. So, if you're familiar with Wright's design sensibilities, you'll recall that he never had much use for bathrooms and elevators - both of which are super small by modern standards and current building codes. Don't expect the spa level experience you may have enjoyed at other boutique hotels - they 'aint there, lol! If you go into the Inn at Price Tower experience with a "Wright state of mind", you'll enjoy your stay and be able to forgive the limitations of the design. The tour is well worth the price, and I highly recommend participating. Our group consisted of only me and my wife, so it was basically a private tour. It was advertised as a 60-minute tour, but our Dosen gave us nearly 2 hours! Really interesting. Take-a-ways: Bring you own coffee maker and breakfast items. Be prepared for the seasonal interior heating or cooling situation and be sure to have reasonable expectations for living in a Wright-designed building for a night or two. If you have these, your experience will be a lot of fun. Enjoy!

This was worth the stay and the tour was very good. This isn't a high end luxury hotel. It's a clean, spacious, historic hotel. The AC in the room wasn't working well but the oscillating fan made up for it. It was never uncomfortable in the room temperature-wise. The shower is kind of neat the way it was designed but the water didn't stay in the shower area and the bath mat was soaking wet by the time 1 person showered. The tour was excellent! We learned a lot about Price Tower and the history of the Prices and what the thought process was of Wright when he designed it. Price (no relation) was a great tour guide and knew a lot about the building and its architecture. I highly recommend staying here AND taking one of the tours. They definitely need donations to help restore the building to its former glory.

It's really hard to decide how many stars to award. Five for the coolness of the experience? One for the comfort of the room? I recommend you take the tour but stay somewhere else. At least, call ahead to see if everything is in working order, and check the weather. We stayed in June 2023. It was a bucket list stay for me. The place is amazing, but it has issues... namely the water and air temperature control. There was only hot water coming out of the faucets. Only scalding hot, unusable water! (The girl at the desk "thought they had fixed that.") Also, the building was not made with/for modern air conditioning or heating. We slept with the windows open and the provided fan on. There's also a provided space heater for winter. The bathroom has a heated floor, which you cannot adjust and was set at 85F and kept the already hot space even hotter. So if you like glamping, this might work for you. Otherwise, pick a different hotel to actually sleep (and shower) in. But go take the tour! This building is awesome!

We loved our stay here! We had a quick visit and decided to stay here, so glad we did. Large room, great view! The bathroom is small, but you didn't need much space anyway since the sink is in the room. I loved all the windows and they all opened! It was fun staying in a unique space!

I am speaking on behalf of a half dozen vendors I work with. They tease Each other and even try to trick each other into staying here. Nothing against the building. It's a architectural treasure. But you don't find hotels in museums for a reason. I always hear complaints about rooms being small, ac or heating issues, etc, etc... Unless you just want to sleep in a famous building , stay somewhere else and go visit the museum.

What appear to be bullet holes in the wall, red splatter on the phone and bathroom door, wallpaper peeling off the wall. Dirty as all getout. Definitely not what we were expecting for $258 a night! Run far and fast from this run down "hotel". We booked 2 rooms for 2 nights based on the pictures and descriptions on their website and were disappointed when we arrived to what you see in the images I posted of our 2 story suite. We cancelled both rooms immediately and booked a hotel nearby and were not issued a refund!!! Frank Lloyd Wright would be disappointed in what's happened to his work. The place is unbelievably dirty and disgraceful. I posted a few pictures I took of the room before exiting to find another hotel to stay in. I didn't have time to go back downstairs to get a shot of the peeling wallpaper but I think this is more than enough to give you the idea.

Feels futuristic even though it was designed a century ago. I'm not formally trained in architecture but I am I fan of Frank Lloyd Wright's work. Staying at the Inn at Price Tower has been on my bucket-list for at least 20 years. My wife suggested pairing a stay here with a visit to the Pioneer Woman's Mercantile in Pawhuska, OK. She gets her thing, I get mine --- win/win. Driving in from Tulsa was uneventful; State Route 75 is a straight shot to Bartlesville. Check-in Parking was not clearly marked -- there are two parking lots (actually three) adjacent to the tower. Inn parking is on the West side of the tower on S Dewey Ave. That was about the only negative event for our entire stay. Just gazing up at Price Tower is all you will need to know that this is a special building. Its art deco ornamentation and alternating green and white bands practically shout its uniqueness. Upon entry to the building, we were greeted with a two-story tall foyer though small, was impressive with its open-air second-story balcony and angular shape. One quick turn to the left and we were in the Inn's lobby with its massive copper cloisonné mural. The Inn's staff greeted us warmly, swiped a credit card for incidentals, and assigned us our rooms (did I mention my mother-in-law came with us? LOL) on the twelfth floor. Yes, the elevators are small but there are three for a 19-story building. There was never a long delay to get an elevator. Since we got two rooms, we were able to compare the King room to the Two Queens room. Well, the King room is considerably smaller. If I were to stay here again, I would take the two queen room for the extra space for luggage and stuff. That said, the King room wasn't unbearably small; just when compared to the other. And yes, my mother-in-law offered to switch rooms with us and I declined. Let's get this straight - Price Tower was designed in the 1920s and built in the 1950s as a combination office-residence-retail tower. Three-fourths of the tower were offices; one fourth of the tower contained eight two-story apartments. The lower floors were retail. Most Inn rooms are former office space -- horizontal single-pane windows and copper louvers. Only the expensively-priced Inn lofts are in former residential space -- vertical single-pane windows and copper louvers. It will get hot in the summer and cold in the winter, but the Inn does provide heaters and fans to every room for extreme weather. It was high 90s during our stay and our fan kept us comfortable all night. But the rooms, the rooms! Every aspect of the building is architected to complement each other. The angles are irregular and the window panes meet at the corner of the room. The light fixtures are triangles facing outward -- pointing us toward the Oklahoma prairie and rolling hills surrounding Bartlesville. The décor is mid-century as would be the norm when the tower opened. My wife commented that she felt like The Jetsons. I did too which is remarkable because this space was designed almost a century ago. A restful sleep and free breakfast on the 16th floor. Andrew greeted breakfast-goers good morning between songs, and cooked eggs to order for those who wished. Our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Such a treat to actually spend a night in a Wright-designed building. I think I'm going to put "Another night in Price Tower" on my bucket-list.

If you are interested in architecture....REAL architecture.....you MUST pay a visit to Price Tower in Bartlesville, OK. Price Tower is the only realized skyscraper structure designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. From the moment we entered the building, we were amazed by the beauty and more importantly, the quirky details that make it unique. The lobby of Price Tower contains the second largest Cloisonné mosaic in the world. Bold colors pop out of a background of beautiful gold - I literally thought I was on a movie set. Unlike a museum, the building felt like it was alive and new. One of the quirkier features at Price Tower are the elevators. Apparently, Frank didn't like to wait on them....so he put FOUR in this building. They are extremely small (4 people with a tight fit - 2 people with suitcases). And when you push the UP button, it's anybody's guess as to which one will open first! We stayed in room 104 (10th Floor). Beautiful room - and you can open up the windows! When was the last time you could do that? And what can I say about the copper! The outside is covered with copper "leaves". The windows have chained copper drapes! There's a copper bar! Frank loved copper! I would encourage anyone who goes there to take the guided tour. It's less than one hour and you get to see some of the rooms not open to the general public. They also ask that you not take pictures of some of the rooms. Which I didn't....but it was challenging to abstain. The beds were extremely comfortable. The shower in our room was big enough for one person. Also, it had about 11 different angles....no kidding. We loved our stay and definitely recommend it to anyone who appreciates history, architecture and beauty. If budget is an issue.....we found an affordable room rate on Expedia. When we arrived, I asked the manager if there was a room available that he would recommend. Originally, we had a king sized bed, but on his recommendation we switched to two doubles....which gave us more room and a nice view of the city.

It takes more than history to make a hotel worth spending the night in. The rooms were so grimy (stains, wall paper peeling from the walls, etc.) that we ended up just booking rooms elsewhere and losing out on the money we wasted on this dump. Such a shame. How hard is it to keep the place clean and maintained, especially at the outrageous premium they charge per night? Come on folks. You are not even trying.

Most of the other reviews are quite comprehensive so I doubt I have much to add other than to say that having spent probably a few thousand nights in hotels, on trains, planes, and ships, this was one of the most unique. Do you stay at the Price Tower because it's overly luxurious, loaded with modern conveniences, or has impeccable food? No. You also wouldn't stay here if you're accustomed to the push-button experience of staying at a modern full service hotel, such as perfectly accurate HVAC, large elevators, etc. You probably aren't going to have the best sleep of your life, like you might have at a Four Seasons. But... you'll also be one of the few people who can claim they've stayed at a building designed by FLW in a little town most people don't even know exists. While I'm not a FLW scholar and have actually never had any formal arts/architecture education, I was simply in awe at the level of detail, functional features, and creativity evident throughout the building. You simply don't see this in today's commercial buildings. Due to timing, I wasn't able to attend a docent-lead tour, but hope to should I ever find myself in Bartlesville again. So to summarize: if you're looking for a soulless, boring, and sterile lodging experience - save your money and grab a room at a Holiday Inn Express or comparable. If you're a fan of unique, rewarding experiences that result in interesting stories to tell friends and colleagues down the road, than this is the place for you.

After growing up in Bartlesville, I finally stayed in the Inn At Price Tower about a month ago. Great experience, but definitely not your typical hotel experience. Your entire stay will be dominated by the fact that you are in the only skyscraper designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The structure has been lovingly maintained over the years, so the quirky elements that are part of the design are part of your stay. Tiny elevators, oddly shaped rooms with no right angles, small bathrooms - just deal with it! We did just this, and did so happily! The staff - everyone from the front desk to maintenance - was welcoming and thoughtful and cordial. The details of the rooms and the hotel have been pretty well covered by other reviewers. The bathroom in our room was the water closet and shower, no tub. The sink is outside in the main room. I will just add that the bathroom floors are heated. So even though it is not a spa-like experience, your experience in there will be comfortable. I've heard that all of the rooms are slightly different. Also I saw one reviewer mention that the room was cold. We didn't have that problem, but we heard another patron complain of the same thing. Apparently they will provide a space heater in your room if you need it, so don't be afraid to speak up! Breakfast is included with your stay and it is not just sweet rolls and crappy OJ. It is a full on breakfast buffet, with a chef to make eggs cooked to order. Delicious! We have booked our second stay next week and we are looking forward to it! I would encourage everyone to experience this unique and iconic place; it is bucket-list worthy! Bartlesville is a wonderful little town, and is a great place for a 2 day get away!

The Inn at the Price Tower is so much more than a regular stay! Upon walking in your room you will be greeted with a clean scent and you will witness a carefully designed room that will exceed expectations. It almost feels like you're in another world altogether. It feels historic but modern?? You decide! The cleanliness in hotel rooms is so important to me and this met all expectations. You will feel at ease that all surfaces are cleaned and sanitized. The linens were fresh and there was a sense of peace and relief upon falling asleep. 10/10 highly recommend. The cleaning staff and the interior designers definitely deserve an applause! Great place to stay for a one of a kind adventure and experience!

Great front desk service. Love the look of the hotel. But it is very very hot. They have a stand fan in the room but it doesn't do much. Bed is comfortable but it's too hot to sleep. Would probably be nice to come here in the winter.

If your goal is to experience Franks work, the hotel is nice. Don't expect decent air conditioning in your room. It is centrally controlled and they do not turn it on until the evening. I could not get the room to cool below 78. The front desk was "sorry".

Price Tower is serving food during the corona outbreak. We ordered lunch for a work meeting and everyone drive by to pick theirs up. They delivered to the car and placed in the backseat. I had a hamburger which was very tasty. We had a virtual lunch and all sowed each other our meals. :)

I absolutely loved staying here. The design and amenities of the room were like none I've experienced before. Heated bathroom tiles, windows spreading out 24+ ft overlooking the city, contemporary decor, beds that smelled like fresh laundry detergent instead of cheap soap, and more. I literally felt like I was staying at a loft apartment, not a hotel. The beds were so comfortable that it was the best sleep I've had in over a year. To put the cherry on top, the front desk experience was the absolute best I've ever had. They were so personable and even remember your name. I only stayed one night and when I called 2 weeks later to have a duplicate receipt sent to me, they still remembered me. How many hotels can you say does that?!? My only complaint is that I couldn't stay there longer and they're not located in a town I visit more often.

Hubs and I booked the king bed 2 story suite for our 5year anniversary. Such a cool hotel! It's a little confusing the first few times you go anywhere in it. It's set up is so different and unique-lots of angles and shapes. Downsides- the stairs going up to the loft are teeny tiny and angled strange. Made going up and down a mind game. And the bathrooms are awkward and tiny- but they do the job. "Livingroom" is neat, but not practical for hanging out and watching TV or much. Amazing view with the windows. It does get pretty chilly in the evening. Enough that I made it an excuse to buy a new cardigan at the mall.(just and excuse to shop) The bed is one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've slept on. The breakfast server was so friendly and accommodating. It's just such a neat hotel!! Sadly, we didn't get to take the tour because it was already booked up.

The Inn at Price Tower is in one of two vertical structures built, which were designed by famed architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. It was completed in 1956 and was designed for mixed use. In the 21st century, a portion was converted to a hotel. As fans of Frank Lloyd Wright, my wife and I could not pass up the chance to stay in one of his very unique buildings. We stayed in late January, which is the off season. We were one of 2 rooms occupied (out of 21) on a Saturday night. Our check in was extremely friendly and quick. We were given the run down on the place and a restaurant recommendation (Frank & Lola's - great place). Our room was a standard with King bed. It was much roomier than most hotel rooms and the huge expanse of windows along the outside of the room made for fantastic views. There are 3-2 story suites available, but this was all we needed. The design of everything is a combination mid century and modern and it works very well. The beds are platform style with a comfortable mattress. I slept better than I do in most hotel beds. The ONLY downside is the shower is a bit small and if you're looking for a bathtub, you're out of luck. The shower head was a bit low for my 6'7" self, but I am used to that. One nice thing the have are heated tile floors in the bathroom, which can be digitally adjusted. No cold feet! The free continental breakfast included pastries, donuts, oranges, apples, quiche, belgian waffles you make yourself, and coffee. Pretty standard fare for a hotel, but nice considering we had not expected anything. Our hotel stay included free passes to the tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, but was a bit rushed and admitted to having something to go to later. There are different tour guides, so your mileage may vary. That was really the only thing that could have been better. This was an outstanding stay and I highly recommend others stay there! I would like to come back and stay in one of the suites.

Art Deco Ikea with a lot of copper pipes! Beginning to show some age and wear due to neglect more than use. Mold in commode area of bathroom, which explains why the AC blower was always roaring in the room. I get the homage to a brilliant architect and his single skyscraper. It just rings hollow when that homage doesn't include maintenance and upkeep. Kill the mold! And run a carpet cleaner over the small carpeted areas when white socks turn grey from one night walking on the floors. After 20+ years of driving by and wanting to stay there, I'm happy I did, but sad I won't be back. FLW deserves better!

I've stayed at Price Tower for the past seven weeks while doing contract work in town. All in all, it has been a unique pleasure. I've traveled the world on business, but this is the first time I've been able to experience unique architecture AND live in it. And live in it long enough to feel like I'm a part of the Price Tower extended family. And it is the staff, of course, that makes the difference. Everyone I've talked to - from Joe who keeps the Tower in repair to Bethany the general manager - has been both enthusiastic and honored to be working at such a unique national historic landmark. Much of the staff I've talked to has been there for years, working in various roles. At the reception desk, John seems to be the institutional memory of the place, and Shelley has a friendly face and good tips for everyone. Andrew is the master of breakfast on the 16th floor and makes everyone feel at home. As befits a 60-year old building designed by an architectural iconoclast, then modified to work as a hotel, Price Tower has more than its share of idiosyncrasies. The staff treats the building as they might a classic car - keeping it looking good while staying true to the original specs, but with a rueful acknowledgement that some parts are pretty "old school" and just don't work as well as they used to. Whenever I've had room requests or pointed out something wasn't working, the staff jumped to help with the personal touch of a Ritz-Carlton. I feel I should say a few words about Copper and its staff. In my experience, they exemplify the passion to make this small restaurant near the top of this copper-clad "pinwheel on the prairie" a destination for fine dining in the area. Adam (the chef de cuisine) is already offering dishes that are the equal of anything I've had in the area. They definitely have some challenges with the environment, including a small kitchen and steep narrow stairway the waitstaff must negotiate, with dishes, to bring them down to diners. But coming back to the Tower after work for a happy hour drink or for dinner, you can enjoy a fine meal while meeting people from all over the world that come to visit. There's much I could say about staying in this unique place. Let me summarize it: Coming back at the end of a workday and looking up at this unique copper skyscraper, I'm so pleased to have been able to say - for at least a few weeks - I'm coming home. If you're curious to see more of Price Tower, I've posted my photos of the place at http://bit.ly/pricetower.

I was an art major, so it was an honor to stay at an inn designed by the master. It was a little twilight zoney, but I could live be with the geometry for a night. Things I was not enchanted with: 1. The room was freezing! When I called to ask about a control somewhere, I was told that the entire building was on the same system. There was no control in our room! He informed us that there was a heater in the closet. We turned it on for a while, but felt so guilty that we just turned it off, and jumped under the covers. We did put it in the shower room for an hour before showering in the morning. OUR FLOOR WAS NOT HEATED. 2. The TV wouldn't work. We had to call down. They gave instructions to unplug the box and plug it back in. Finally got it to work. 3. Breakfast- was the nastiest biscuits n gravy ever. Along with some oatmeal. Not even a banana or apple. I ate a handful of pecans and dried cranberries. 4. We arrived with a group of 36 people. Can you imagine getting all those people up to their rooms in 2 elevators that would accommodate 2 people with luggage at a time?! Been there done that. Won't go back again! *their menu did look good, but of course by the time we got up to our room, the dinning room and bar were closed.

Too DA$% HOT!!! 110 degrees outside and 84 degrees inside. Sorry but I can't get past how HOT it was in the room. Arrived to find all the drapes drawn and pedestal fan set up and blowing. Should have been a clue that this was going to be an unpleasant night. And it was...The room decor and building are great but come on. You have to have A.C. that can handle the Oklahoma heat. Obviously not. So while the bed was comfortable, room interesting and tower a treat I would suggest going here ONLY if the weather outside is moderate (wonder how it is in the winter?). Too bad as this could be a really great place. Did I mention how hot it was?? Oh and I told them about it on their in room evaluation form and left my contact information. Now 5 days later for response or follow up to the comments. Seems they would offer at least an apology for the room temperature.

Five stars expressly for the unique nature of the hotel. The ability to sleep in a place designed by Frank Lloyd Wright is exceptionally rare. Even with updated furnishings, the space is "Wright" in most ways. Be prepared to accept odd stairs, tiny elevators, cramped bathrooms, wind noise, probable leaky windows and possible mold. Breakfast is bare bones Continental. Our bagels were stale and the toaster was broken. WiFi is passable, if limited in range. Furniture, while Wright-like isn't particularly comfortable to sit on. Copies of Wright literature to browse are very welcome touches. By all means do take the tour of the building. Their docents are very nice and informative, although history of Wright's affairs is far less interesting than the building itself. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Well worth the trip.
