The Campbell Hotel

I have only stayed here once (since I live in Tulsa) but I wanted to see all the renovations they did. GORGEOUS. And their banquet rooms chandeliers are to die for! I’d recommend this hotel to out of town guests.

My wife and I took our hotrod from Ca to Springfield Il for the Route 66 Mother Road Show and stopped in Tulsa for another car show that is held every year at the Baptist Church.
We decided to stay at the Campbell.
I read the other reviews and thought it would be a cool place to stay…
We have stayed in many old renovated hotels, The St Francis, The Drake, The Mark Hopkins, The Huntington, The Del Coronado and others, these were and are Elegant hotels…
The only way I can sum up the hotel is «you can dress a pig and put lipstick on it and its still a pig».
I can’t imagine what would induce someone to provide a positive review of this place, maybe family, friends, employees??? Maybe someone who stayed at a Super 8 in downtown Bakersfield and thought this was an upgrade.
We stayed two nights (tried to cancel the second night but the manager wouldn’t accommodate that.
The beds in both rooms were so worn out that you rolled to the center and we had two different rooms.
The owners need to replace these mattresses. They only have 1 luggage cart for the entire hotel, and no offer to help with luggage (the comment from the front office clerk was «I have no idea where it is and if I did I couldn’t make them give it up»… the bartender in the restaurant does not have a clue how to make a mixed drink. Questionable area around the hotel…
There was a party in the hotel that went until 2 am the rooms have no soundproofing at all and it was impossible to sleep.
Positives friendly waitress in the restaurant.

Initially, I was pissed that my assistant hadn’t been able to get me into my usual downtown Tulsa hotel (I travel there often). When she told me she’d found me what looked like a «cool boutique» hotel, I was pretty «iffy» on it because that often means it’s a dump. I’m so glad she found this place.
The location, in the heart of the old Route 66 area lends the place a very cool feel. A bygone era of roadside camps, gas stations with full service and diners with «Blue Plate Specials» for 85 cents.
I’ll echo the other comments about the décor… it has a very cool feel to it, with interesting furniture and nice quality renovation. My room was a hoot… sort of a western get up, little buckaroo bunkhouse thing. There was a «worn» look to the furniture, but appropriately so. The room was nice and clean, and the bathroom was well-​appointed.
There’s a nice little bar downstairs with a good staff. In fact, all of the staff were very nice.
I liked the fact that the parking was so convenient.
They offer a free breakfast at the Maxwell which is just down a hallway. It wasn’t some bullshit breakfast like you get at a La Quinta either, with crappy, stale pastries and bratty kids fouling up waffle irons. It was a hearty sit down breakfast, with choices of a full country style bacon and eggs meal, a fruit plate or biscuits and gravy. Service in the café was excellent.
I plan to make this my regular hotel for future trips to Tulsa.

I travel to Tulsa frequently, and I am very happy to have found this little hotel. Great décor and very nicely appointed rooms. The staff has been very professional, and I really enjoy having a bar in the hotel so I can have a glass of wine before going to bed. I thought the complementary breakfast was fantastic — the best by far of any hotel that I’ve stayed at in Tulsa. It’s best to request a room that does not face the busy Main Street that the hotel sits on. I have one suggestion that would greatly improve my experience, however: better showerheads. I really wish American hotels would adopt the use of hand held shower heads. The ones in the rooms I’ve stayed in are not only fixed, they are not adjustable at all. The spray was thin and not very soothing. But overall I really like the place, and I intend to stay there any time I go to Tulsa

This is a great place on historical Route 66. Each guest room was designed by a different designer. So every room is different. When this historic hotel was built in the 1920s it was on the edge of town. Great bar and restaurant.

Nice boutique hotel for a reasonable price.
Full disclosure I have worked here so I am a little biased.
The rooms are all unique leaving something for everyone. Onsite restaurant and bar means you have all you need for your stay.
Locals and travelers use the facility for a great night out on the town and an elegant overnight stay.
My wife and I had the honeymoon sweet on our honeymoon and they treated us lovely.
Enjoy!

We would have never booked at this place if hadn’t been for the Hotel Tonight app. We found ourselves in Tulsa on a road trip and used HT to find this gem. The service was awesome and each room was unique. Our bed was very comfortable, the room was clean, and free breakfast was great. Highly recommended!

I stayed at The Campbell for a wedding. The rooms are very unique & cute. The staff was friendly. My only concern was the cleanliness. It appears to be clean, but when I got into bed I felt something in the sheets & it was an iPhone charger… That wasn’t mine. It was INBETWEEN the sheets, so if they would have changed the sheets between visits– it wouldn’t have been there. I told the guy at the front desk and he just said «thanks for telling me» and didn’t offer to get a manager. I was thinking I deserved a discounted night or some sort of compensation for something that unsanitary. Needless to say, I won’t stay there again. The hotel bar & restaurant was nice, I would recommend them!

Was in town for a week doing some research and needed a place nearby TU. Found this one and took a chance. Incredibly happy I did. Room was wonderful, clean and spacious. My only knock (not enough to take it down a star) was a lack of a small desk for work; however, was able to make do on one of the comfy arm chairs and small coffee table in the separate seating area (!). The bed was very comfortable, and there were extra pillows in the walk-​in closet (double !!) if needed. The décor throughout was eclectic, but very pleasing; I spent some time my first day there just walking through the halls and admiring the art, particularly upstairs. The room was very quiet; unless people were in the hall outside my door, I barely heard a peep.
The staff are what you would hope for from such a place; everyone, from bartenders and waitresses to desk attendants, took a moment to at least chat, if not be friendly; by week’s end, I was being greeted by name whenever I would pop in somewhere. When they found out I was a history buff, they showed me a list of all the things that had been in the building prior to the Campbell, and even pointed out a few residual features here and there. The included breakfast at Maxwell’s, though from a somewhat limited menu, was made fresh each morning, and the coffee was hot, strong, and plentiful. The cocktail lounge was fine, though I would have enjoyed a wider selection of local beer, considering there’s a craft brewery less than a mile away.
It is a very easy drive down to Cherry Street (walkable, if one feels ambitious); downtown was just a few miles away. I had friends pick me up and take me out to various spots around the city, and nothing was more than a 5 – 10 minute drive away, including downtown. Was almost directly across the street from TU campus, which was incredibly convenient.
I am now looking for an excuse to return to Tulsa and enjoy a different room at this wonderful little place.

This is a little gem. Originally themed, Beautiful clean rooms. Friendly staff.
Includes free made to order breakfast in the adjoining Maxwell’s Restaurant.

Definitely worth the money. The place had character, which I look for in my «Boutique» Hotels. The staff are a pleasure, and I’ve never meet a kinder housekeeper than «Mama Lisa». She makes you feel like family.
The bar is small, and has a good selection of poisons for it’s size. Justin, the bartender, has spoiled me with his amazing martinis:) I so look forward to visiting the bar after a long drive from Austin.
Every room has a different theme; I can vouch for at least 3 different rooms, and I appreciate the time and effort into the design. Love the bathroom heaters. Oh, and their towels!
Also they just added a brand new restaurant in the hotel, breakfast is now walking distance!

This hotel is quite unique and «cool». We found it thru Unilocal and will stay here again when we return but next time will be sure to stay in a room not next to the street.
Our room was not large but worked fine for our needs and the bed could have been firmer.
My wife liked the white robe in the closet and took advantage of the in room coffee machine. After one try we got used to the step up into the bathroom.
The TV remote was easy to use with many channels and its size nice. The wi-​fi signal was generally good but somewhat unreliable.
The comp. breakfast is minimal and is one element they should consider improving.

Awesome hotel. My wife’s favorite. A short block from TU. Beautiful room. Very comfortable firm bed. Good Internet. It felt like we were staying in a wealthy friend’s spotless home. The only downside was the machine coffee. That single negative should be fixed when the restaurant opens in September. We will be back.

I have been to this hotel 7 times since February. Each time I stay I pick a new room. Try to get a tour or check out their web site before booking. Every room was designed by a different designer and unique. All the rooms are pure luxury. Linen, furniture, floors, deep soaker tubs and more. I feel like I have escaped the daily pressures of life and don’t want to leave. Can’t wait to stay again.

We stayed for a weekend in the Renaissance Suite and loved every minute of it. Sure, the hotel isn’t in the best of areas. It’s also nothing to write home about from the outside, but once you get inside it’s the exact opposite. It was easily one of the most well-​appointed hotel rooms we’ve ever stayed in. Can’t wait to get back and try out some of the other rooms.

What a find. Very unique and special. We loved the place and the service was outstanding. A true boutique hotel, the only one of its kind in Tulsa.

What a disappointment for a beautiful hotel with so much potential.
In a nutshell, unprofessional employees, a confused sales staff, odd rooms, long hallways that echo every little sound, no food, and hookers.
We visited the hotel after speaking with three different people about hosting an event in their event space which is lovely! After three different stories, three different proposals (with different prices), and multiple phone calls, we decided to drive to Tulsa and just see for ourselves. One of our sales contacts ‘booked’ our room.
When we arrived, there was no reservation and the only available room was substantially more than we were told. That was the universe telling us to leave; we didn’t listen.
The clerk was unsympathetic and told us that ‘they screw up all the time’ and then laughed and said «Hey, we need the money, what’s a little extra?» We ended up paying a lot of money for a room that was quirky and cool, but poorly thought out. There was no room for a computer, the bathroom had a odd step that kept tripping us, and the only place to sit was the bed, an ugly, uncomfortable chair, or a delicate chair by the tiny vanity. The bed was comfortable and there was a little refrigerator. The coffee maker was nifty, but it was hard to get excited about Folger’s coffee.
There is no food offered at the hotel, but they offer cereal and yogurt in the lobby. And do-​it-​yourself Folger’s coffee (I guess they’re really proud of their Keurigs!). The desk clerk would not get off a cell phone long enough to suggest a place for dinner, but the hookers in the parking lot pointed us to ‘Cherry Street.’ Don’t laugh, that’s what she said!
Oh yes, we could have had drinks in the ‘bar’ that looks more like a shoe-​shine stand and was full of college kids.
That night, we thought the hooker and the college kids were having a fraternity party in the hallway. While the noise came from the far side of the hotel, the sound bounced throughout the hotel. Guests commiserated in the hallways and calls to the front desk did no good. But the rattle of the air conditioner helped mask the noise!
We woke to sunlight streaming through the flimsy curtains the next day. We had our appointment with the sales person and toured the space we were considering for our event. As stated earlier, the space is beautiful. We heard all about the hotel’s history (neat), how the owners were clueless and difficult (really?!), and how they were hiring a new manager to sort things out (hopeful). But when we heard yet a fourth proposal, we decided to really look at all of the mistakes we’d already seen. In the end, the level of service we received demonstrated the care our guests would receive and we ended up booking elsewhere.
Which is a shame, because this could be a cool place!

Hey there Tulsa, I see you. Gettin’ all growed up and the like.
Nestled steps from the University of Tulsa, the Campbell was a welcome surprise. I stayed at the hotel for a night while doing some business with TU. The hotel was recommended by the University. When we drove up we were a little skeptical. It ain’t the prettiest gal at the ball from the outside, but once you get inside, BAM, prom queen.
The lobby is warm and welcoming with a large fire place. Then you head up a wide stair case, probably original to the building, to the floor with the rooms. The layout reminded me of an ol’ timey brothel for some reason. Each room is themed which can easily go awry, but Campbell pulls it off nicely. I stayed in the Side Saddle Room. It was girlie without it being over the top. The bed was comfy with a ton of pillows. The bathroom was a nice mix of modern amenities with cute vintage touches like the claw foot tub.
Fantastic boutique hotel in Tulsa! Support a local business. It would be an excellent place to stay before a TU Football or Basketball game.
