The Skirvin Hilton Oklahoma City

This place was so pretty. It has been redone a couple times and is apparently going to get a refresh again soon. The woodwork in the lobby and around the hotel is beautiful.
There is a ballroom and areas where they host events. The room was spacious and decorated well. We had a nice view with 2 big windows. The bed was very comfortable.
Walkable to several restaurants and other activities. We walked to the Botanical Gardens from the hotel.
They were accommodating and friendly. The breakfast was good and served above the lobby looking down.
There are several pictures dating back several years to when the hotel was built and the changes throughout the years.
We enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit again.

The staff seemed indifferent and cold. The lady at the front desk seemed irritated at me just for wanting to check in. No one offered to help with luggage when we arrived. When I called the hotel before my stay to ask a question, they kept trying to upsell me on stuff I did not want. Then they promised me 500 Hilton Honor points if I answered a few questions. The questions started like this:

Agent: "So where would you like to book your next Hilton stay? Orlando or Las Vegas?
Me: I don't want to book another stay right now; I just called to ask about parking.
Agent: Oh, that's nice. So where can we book your next visit, Orlando or Vegas?
Me: Sir, I don't think you understand; I just want to know where I can park my car.
Agent: Ok, fine!

And then he hung up on me. For a hotel that charges $300 a night for my room, I would have expected more professionalism and respect. And I never got the points promised either. Unbelievable.

I last saw the Skirvin 21 years ago when it was abandoned. The restoration of this building back to its original glory is nothing short of a miracle. I hope they never renovate this place with modern styles like they did in the 1970s and ruin it again. Keep it old. It's immaculately clean, and the restoration back to its original architecture is absolutely awe-inspiring. The barely visible cleaning staff and restorationists are the only people who made our stay as good as it was. I have a feeling that the indifferent staff who work at the front desk and in customer service will be its eventual downfall unless they correct course.

I am reviewing the Thanksgiving Buffet. Very first time for us was this year. The dressing and turkey tasted really good, however that's where it stops. Desserts not so, much they were dry and tasteless. Pecan pie tasted like a pre made frozen pie. Not impressed. . We felt like we were being herded in like cattle. It was crowded. Tables too close. Not enough room around the food area either. Some food was empty. Crab legs were still frozen. Couldn't hear the musicians. Overall, we will not return.

This dinner could be better if they would take out the breakfast items and concentrate on making Thanksgiving food and desserts better. Service was good. But I was disappointed in everything else.

I stopped in for breakfast at one of my beloved places in OKC, the beautiful Skirvin hotel. They do serve breakfast in the Red Piano Bar, but you wouldn't know it because it appeared closed. I asked a server who answered with a soft and unenthusiastic yes. Lights were in, but it's a dimly lit vibe. That being said, no tv on, barely hear the music, a man at another table walked all around to find the server. The breakfast was good and worth the reasonable price. I'm just disappointed that such a lovely historic place had no pleasant hospitality.
What happened? And it's not new to me, hospitality left the front desk a few years ago.

Swanky hotel right in the middle of it all. Right in the middle of downtown and a five minute walk to Bricktown where all the action is. The hotel has a great little piano bar, restaurant, and other amenities. I'm not sure if this is a recent Hilton thing, but the hot tub is out of order and empty. This is the third Hilton in the third state I've been to recently where this has been the case with all three locations.

To me, the Skirvin Hotel holds historic value to OKC. That's it. The lobby is actually beautiful. I love listening to the red piano in the lobby bar. Overall, customer service is great! But that's what you're paying for because the food options are terrible. The rooms are tiny and outdated. They are dog friendly so we could hear the ankle biter down the way barking all night on NYE. Fortunately, it's a good location to anything you need to do downtown.

I came here with people from OKC for a birthday party. The front desk only had two room keys for four people, forgot to include my points, and the drinks were bitter.
All and all I think I will stick with Marriott.

My son and his new bride spent the night after their wedding on 9-21-23. Since they weren't headed out for their honeymoon destination until the next day and we thought it was sorta sad to just "go home" after their wedding and wanting to make it more special than that for a couple just starting out and living frugally, we bought them a night at the Skirvin Plaza.

They arrived late after the reception, exhausted and ready to get to their room. When the keycard didn't work, they called down and were told to come back down to get another one. When they returned to the lobby, a group gathered noticed her veil and asked if they had just come from their wedding, to which they answered they had. The hotel personnel said they didn't realize it was the night of their wedding and upgraded their room to what I can only assume is a suite based on the excited description we heard. You guys made a special night even more special for this young couple and it won't be forgotten. Thank you!

Beautiful hotel, perfectly located for exploring OKC. We only stayed one night, but our room was lovely, clean, and comfortable.

Beautiful historic hotel! First time staying at the Skirvin! I love history and historic monuments. This hotel did not disappoint and is beautifully crafted. You can tour the hotel, viewing artifacts from its inception. I ate dinner at the Red Piano to the sound of music. Typical hotel food, great drinks and wonderful company!
