This guide covers what the Best Western Plus location in Oklahoma City offers relative to competing mid-range hotels, what neighborhoods surround it, and how to decide whether this property matches your trip's priorities. After reading, you'll understand the trade-offs between staying here versus comparable chains nearby, and you'll have enough specifics to book strategically.
Best Western Plus operates as a mid-tier brand positioned between budget chains (La Quinta, Days Inn) and upper-middle options (Hilton Garden Inn, Residence Inn). The Oklahoma City location sits in the Midtown corridor, placing it roughly 3 miles northeast of the Bricktown Entertainment District and 2.5 miles south of the Stockyard City historic district. This positioning means you're not in the densest tourism zone but also not on the highway fringe.
The property's appeal hinges on three factors: included breakfast service (most mid-range chains charge separately or offer nothing), a business-grade fitness center, and a microwave-refrigerator in all rooms. At approximately $90 to $130 per night depending on day and season, it undercuts Hilton Garden Inn locations (typically $140 to $180) while offering similar amenities but no loyalty points multiplier that premium members enjoy.
A critical difference from budget competitors: Best Western Plus guarantees a dedicated work desk and ergonomic chair in every room. If you're spending an afternoon catching up on email before heading to Bricktown, this matters. Budget chains in the same neighborhood often provide a shelf instead.
The Midtown location—generally bounded by NW 23rd Street to the north and NW 10th Street to the south—has undergone mixed redevelopment. Within a 0.3-mile walk, you'll find a Walgreens, a Panera, and several casual dining spots. This is not a pedestrian-centric neighborhood with destination restaurants; it's functional.
The Stockyard City district, 2.5 miles north, is worth a 15-minute drive if you want Western heritage museums, live cattle auctions (weekday mornings only), and saloon-style dining at places like Cattlemen's Steakhouse. If your trip includes checking that off your list, staying at Best Western Plus means you're not adding 20 minutes to a downtown commute first.
Bricktown, 3 miles southwest, remains Oklahoma City's anchor entertainment corridor. The distance is short enough for a $6 to $8 Uber ride (approximately 10 minutes). Staying at Best Western Plus rather than a Bricktown hotel saves $15 to $30 per night but commits you to ride-sharing or driving; walking is not practical for a 3-mile return trip at 11 p.m.
The Midtown location also edges closer to the Automobile Alley district (roughly 2 miles west), where preserved Art Deco storefronts now house galleries, cafes, and the Skirvin Lofts mixed-use complex. If that appeals to your itinerary, proximity is a genuine advantage.
Three hotels operate within 0.5 miles and serve the same traveler profile:
La Quinta by Wyndham (same corridor, roughly 0.4 miles away) typically runs $65 to $95 per night. Pet-friendly, includes breakfast, but no work desk in standard rooms and no on-site dining beyond a coffee station. Suitable if you're road-tripping with a dog and want minimum frills; not ideal for business travelers.
Comfort Suites (0.3 miles away) prices out at $100 to $125 per night with a slightly smaller breakfast offering and less current furnishings than Best Western Plus. The trade-off is a pool and hot tub, amenities Best Western Plus does not advertise. If your traveling party includes children or you're visiting during summer, this matters.
Hilton Garden Inn (approximately 1 mile away, at the edge of the Midtown zone moving toward the Stockyard district) commands $140 to $175 per night, includes a full hot breakfast and evening snack service, and offers Hilton points. The premium is justified only if you're a frequent Hilton stayer or if earning points toward a future stay outweighs the extra $40 to $50 per night.
Parking is complimentary and on-site, a non-trivial advantage in a city where parking is usually free but where some downtown hotels charge $12 to $18 daily. If you're renting a car, this eliminates a daily cost.
The breakfast service operates roughly 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. on weekdays, 6:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. on weekends. Standard offerings include eggs, toast, cereal, and fruit. If you prioritize a hot breakfast without buying a separate $12 meal, this saves time and money on day-trip mornings.
WiFi is included; it's branded as "high-speed" by Best Western standards but runs at typical hotel speeds (adequate for email, video calls, and streaming, but don't expect 50 Mbps). If you're uploading large files, the wired connection in the room is marginally more reliable.
Check-in is 3 p.m., checkout 11 a.m. Early check-in and late checkout are at management discretion and cost $25 to $50 if the room is available. Plan accordingly if you're arriving early or leaving after noon.
Choose this property if you're visiting Stockyard City or Automobile Alley and prefer not to stay downtown; if you're working remotely part of your trip and need a functional desk; or if you're traveling alone or as a couple and want to avoid the $15+ daily premium of the Hilton without sacrificing breakfast.
Skip it if you're a Hilton loyalty member already halfway to a free night; if your group includes children and you want a pool; or if you're making Bricktown your primary base and don't want to rely on ride-shares nightly. For Bricktown-focused trips, the extra 3 miles and associated transport costs outweigh the nightly savings.
Book directly through Best Western's website rather than third-party aggregators to confirm the included breakfast is applied; some booking platforms occasionally exclude it in their initial quote. Verify the rate includes it before checkout.
