The Spotlight on Trade Winds Central Inn

Affordable Tulsa Comfort with Easy Access to the Music Scene

Modern conveniences meet retro charm at Trade Winds Central Inn, a budget-friendly hotel located just 7 miles from downtown Tulsa. With a laid-back vibe, clean rooms, and a friendly atmosphere, it’s a great base for concert-goers looking to enjoy the city without breaking the bank.
Each room comes with free Wi-Fi, a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, and a work desk—perfect for a late-night bite or quick recharge between shows. Guests also have access to a seasonal outdoor pool, fitness center, and a complimentary airport shuttle for added convenience.

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.

I would like a refund...

Liked: The location was convenient
Disliked: There was no breakfast served. We had to wait in the lobby for an hour before staff showed up so we could check in. There was only one employee working the entire motel. The room had no microwave and the toilet was broken. We had to continually take the back off the toilet and stick our hands in the commode to get it to fill up with water. Outside along all the walkways there was broken glass and in the pool area there were broken beer bottles and hundreds of cigarette butts.
