Holiday Inn Express & Suites Oklahoma City Airport By IHG

Comfort and Convenience Near the Heart of OKC

Modern, clean, and refreshingly unfussy, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Oklahoma City Airport offers an easygoing stay just minutes from top music venues and downtown nightlife. Located just 1.9 miles from White Water Bay and around 6 miles from the Oklahoma City Museum of Art and Chesapeake Energy Arena, it's the kind of place where you can crash in comfort after a show — and wake up to a solid breakfast spread. The hotel also offers free shuttle service and a 24-hour front desk, making late-night arrivals a breeze.

Why Concert-goers love it

With free shuttle service from nearby Will Rogers World Airport (just 4.3 miles away), you can get in and out quickly, no matter when your show ends. The hotel is roughly 15 minutes from downtown venues, yet far enough for a quieter night’s sleep afterward. The 3 p.m. check-in lets you settle in before an evening set, and the 11 a.m. check-out means you don’t have to rush your morning after. Plus, the indoor pool is a nice post-concert wind-down.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for an affordable sleepover spot
• Solo travelers flying in for a once-in-a-lifetime show
• Couples turning a concert into a weekend escape
• Fans who want peace and quiet after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want amenities

Food and Drink Options

While there's no full-service restaurant onsite, the hotel offers a free breakfast buffet including American and vegetarian options — ideal after a late night out. Nearby dining options are just a short drive or shuttle away, with plenty of fast-casual and sit-down spots to choose from. No 24/7 room service, but you'll find vending machines and a convenience store on-site for late-night snacks.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or have a bar, you’re a short ride from downtown Oklahoma City’s thriving nightlife — from rooftop lounges to dive bars. Whether you're into local craft beer or DJ beats, there’s something nearby once the encore wraps.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and the added bonus of an indoor pool. Many reviews highlight the free shuttle service as a major perk, especially for airport access and nearby events. The breakfast earns points for variety and convenience.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the area around the hotel is more business park than buzzing entertainment district — so it’s not the most scenic for walking. Also, the lack of a full-service restaurant or bar in the hotel may disappoint those looking to hang out on-site late into the night.

The Bottom Line

A solid, budget-friendly choice for concert-goers who want a clean, quiet stay with easy access to OKC’s venues and airport.
