Why Concert-goers love it

Located within a short drive of Tulsa’s top music venues, including BOK Center and Cain’s Ballroom, the hotel offers easy access to live events without the downtown price tag. The free airport shuttle is a big plus for out-of-town fans flying in for a show. After the music ends, enjoy a quiet night’s sleep away from the downtown noise. Late check-in (from 3:00 PM) makes arriving after doors open stress-free.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends hitting multiple shows over a weekend
• Solo travelers flying in for a must-see performance
• Couples wanting an affordable weekend getaway
• Fans needing a quiet, post-show recovery zone
• Budget-conscious music lovers who want to save on lodging

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant and bar make grabbing a bite or drink easy before or after the show. Rooms are equipped with a microwave and fridge for late-night leftovers, and the daily hot breakfast is perfect for post-party mornings. While 24/7 room service isn’t available, nearby eateries are just a short drive or rideshare away.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, its proximity to Tulsa’s nightlife means you’re never far from the action. Enjoy pre-show drinks at the hotel bar, or head downtown for buzzing bars, lounges, and live music joints that keep the vibe going long after the encore.

What People Say

Guests often mention the great value for the price, friendly staff, and clean, comfortable rooms. The free breakfast and airport shuttle also get high marks, especially from travelers catching late-night or early-morning flights after a show.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is a bit older and could use minor updates. The outdoor pool is seasonal, so it’s not always available year-round. If you're looking for upscale luxury, this might not be your match—but it delivers where it counts for concert-goers.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Tulsa for a concert and want a no-fuss, budget-friendly stay with easy access to venues, Trade Winds Central Inn hits all the right notes.
