Suite hotel for the night? driving from Arkansas to Colorado

Hi, all

Our family with kids 14, 12, and 5 are planning on stopping in Oklahoma City for the night on route to southern Colorado from Arkansas.

Could someone please suggest the best suite hotel (Embassy or Residence Inn, etc) near the interstate that also has restaurants nearby OR is a suite hotel that is walkable to the Memorial? We will not have much time as we will arrive around 7pm and depart early the next morning. Thanks so much for any suggestions.

The only Embassy is on Meridian Avenue, just south of I-40, on the west side of the city (near the airport). It%26#39;s near several restaurants. The Memorial is just north of downtown, so you would need to stop at the Memorial first, or back-track the next morning.

A new Residence Inn recently opened in Bricktown, an ';entertainment district'; with restaurants, clubs, a canal, etc. which is just northwest of the I-40%26amp; I-235 junction. It%26#39;s not far from the Memorial, but maybe more than you would want to walk.

twoprofs,

thanks so much for your quick reply! So, Bricktown is a good area?...is it convenient to the Interstate? Could we park the SUV and walk to restaurants from the Residence Inn? Want to make sure the kids have solid block of time out of the car...want to be able to park, check-in to hotel and then walk to dinner, or something. Thanks!

Twoprofs has it right. The Residence Inn is probably where you want to stay. And to answer your questions:

Yes, it is convenient to I-40.

Yes you can walk to the restaurants in Bricktown quite easily.

Yes you can walk to the memorial, although you can also take the Trolley that%26#39;s available, which might be the better choice with a 5 year old. :)

The Residence Inn has one bedroom suites (2 queen beds and a sofa bed) and two bedroom suites (also 2 queen beds and a sofa bed.) You should be able to get the one bedroom for less than $200/night (much less on weekends.)

Here is a link to the hotel:

Have fun!

OK, for some reason the Residence Inn link did not come through. Let%26#39;s try it again:

modcon,

thanks so much for your reply and the very helpful links! Residence Inn sounds like the best bet and the trolley sounds like a good idea, too :)

For the Memorial, the Blue line is the one you want to take. Here are a couple of trolley links...
