The Campbell Hotel - Tulsa, Oklahoma

H S.

I have several very basic expectations when I pay well over $ 100 per night for a room--location, front desk, room, breakfast, bed and bath. The Campbell is well located, within easy reach everywhere in town, barring temporary fact of roadworks on highway 66 just where the hotel is placed. Everyone at the front desk was very helpful, first rate. The room was fine, lavishly furnished. Windows were permanently shut but this seems to be hotel policies everywhere. Breakfast and bath: I would not call breakfast a small selection of bar and stale wrapped muffins. However, there are several places within walking distance. The big issue for me was the shower, with minimal stream of water and a curtain too short to prevent water all over the floor. If the shower is fixed I would be delighted to stay there again.

Very clean and quiet. The AC could be a little cooler, but overall very happy with our stay. Historic building, absolutely loved all the old niches left in place. Staff was very nice. Hopefully the city completes the road construction soon bc that was a mess .

Staying at this boutique hotel was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. A special thanks to Christina, John-Michael, and Sarah for their incredible hospitality. They made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect.

The rooms were absolutely unique, each with its own character and charm. Everything was impeccably clean, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

The location couldn’t be better—situated right on historic Route 66, it was the perfect base for exploring the area. The combination of charm, cleanliness, and convenience makes this boutique hotel a true gem.

I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind experience, and I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip!

This is a complicated review haha - I stay here every time I come to Tulsa. This *might* be changing.

Here’s what I love: The place has a lovely quirky historic vibe on Route 66. There are pretty wood floors (that are very clean I’m noticing as I shuffle around in my white socks) instead of ugly hotel carpet. The couches and sitting rooms and gathering areas are very comfy and chic. The bartender seems really cool. The staff really stand out, Dakota is great. They are all great. Everything I’ve ever asked for, they have accommodated (I’m high maintenance). I feel safe here traveling alone. Parking is around the back, it’s a big free lot and there is no hassle. My rentals feel secure.

The room I love, and the only room I stay in is 226 - for its comfy bed, sky light, and faux fireplace that gives me sun light by day and a warm glowing ambiance at night. There’s a cozy reading chair for taking zoom calls. The shower and jet tub are for tall people - The two big closets (one with hanging rod and one with shelves) are a dream for my OCD organization needs. There’s a fridge and a microwave and a keurig - Plus all the cool shopping is nearby (check out Tulsa Vintage Co for great vintage denim) and it’s close to the airport. Lately it’s been way cheaper to Uber than to rent a car so this proximity to airport is a boon.

Heres what I’m noticing over time: I must admit, this particular room has been on a steady slow decline over the years. The peeling skylight paint has spread, there’s more dents in the walls that need paint touchup, one of the faucets is so wobbly now that it leans all the way to back to the wall. The floating table by the bed is leaning toward the floor so everything rolls off. The lamp is so wobbly I opted not to use it. The water pressure is very low. The tiles beside the fireplace need repair. There is no functioning upper door latch. While there is a deadbolt, if you forget to lock it, one can easily open these doors from the hall by sliding a credit card between the door jam because the locking mechanism is installed backwards.

There was only a sheet and brocade coverlet on the bed so I’m not sure if that’s standard or if everyone has to ask for actual soft blankets. They allow dogs (I have brought mine in the past), but how do you screen for loud dogs, am I right? So, this time I was awoken by a yapping dog and its yelling owner a few times (you can hear any ruckus, so the hope is that no rowdy kids or yappy dogs are staying in rooms close by. It’s usually fine!) There was a mentally ill person yelling in the parking lot when I checked out so Dakota walked me out - but hey, this is midtown and I’m not a princess. The guy moved along.

Breakfast is Keurig coffee (which is so gross to me) and packaged muffins or granola bars. There is an Amish bakery right across the street so I’ve always wondered why this historic hotel isn’t feeding us better with local Route 66 fare from across the way and drip coffee or juice or even cold bottled waters.

I think that a thoughtful locally sourced breakfast and the accompanying morning social scene would change the whole face of this place, and revive its charm just enough to keep me there. As it is, I just go to the grocery store for protein and use my mini fridge. Again, it’s been fine for me.

Overall, with the latest declines in care for the property and hit or miss cleanliness (my room was immaculate but my sisters room was pretty dirty —she changed out her own bedding as a result —and was given a full refund), I might choose another place to stay next time. This breaks my heart, it could be so good! But I’m afraid to recommend it because one man’s historic treasure is another man’s major disappointment.

After tax, I paid $700 for 5 nights and never felt like I had a decent shower. At this rate, with the room being in a 10% decline every time I go, I just don’t know. It’s going from charming and quirky to …a rip off (at this price point anyway).

Sadly, maybe Home2Sweets is the better bet until they can get some updates done.

Don’t stay here. I got into Tulsa from a day of traveling expecting to have a nice place to rest like I have here before. But I was given a room that had people already in it and got threatened when I tried to enter unknowing it was occupied. Obviously upset by this I went back to the front desk and got a new room, only to find it propped open by the security bolt and was too afraid to enter. On the last attempt I was reassigned a “deluxe” room that was not actually in numerical order so I could not find it for 10 minutes and had to go back to the front desk. Because there are no signs. Totally disappointing experience.

We used the hotel ballroom for a family event and everything went great! The staff were incredibly helpful and very kind. The ballroom was clean and there was a hallway of windows that leads to the ballroom where you can see old route 66. I would recommend the Campbell Hotel to all my family and friends.

This is the kind of place I dream of when it comes to hotels. I've seen reviews on various sites that said there was chipped paint on the walls, a throw rug that looked old, an armchair that was slightly worn. All true. Thank goodness. This place felt like home. As someone that has traveled quite a bit over the years it's refreshing to stay somewhere that "gets it".||The front desk was welcoming, ample parking, the room charming and comfortable. The easy chair was like an old friend when I sat in it. Ample lighting, a quiet space, comfortable bed, easy climate control. I think so many people consider the sterile modern everything chic and cutting edge to be what a hotel is supposed to be. Not me. I like to feel welcomed, to feel at ease and at home. Love seeing an old building renovated.||Part of the charm is that in a way it is imperfectly perfect. A paint chip here, creaky hardwood floor in spots, for me that makes it all the more attractive a place to spend a night. Zero issues and cannot say enough good things about the place. One I will for sure stay in again when I pass through Tulsa. Absolutely recommend.

The room was elegant and the people were kind and helpful. If Stephen is working at the bar, definitely stop by. He is delightful and fun. Made delicious drinks from his own creativity and engaged in conversation. We will be back for sure, even if only for Stephen. Highly recommend.
