Need some help.  My husband is in the Army and has recently come home home from Iraq.  He was gone for 15mths. We have been married for 5 yrs this Feb.  He has not been home for any anniversary since we have been married and he was deployed 2 weeks after we were married.  I want to find a nice hotel to spend the weekend at in Tulsa with some sort of romance package.  We haven't even had a honeymoon and this will be the first time that he is home for our anniversary.  My mom is keeping our two boys who are both special needs children and we can use the break.  If you can give me some ideas that would be great.[;)]

Hello Armywife,
You might try the Doubletree Hotel-Downtown Tulsa. They have a Presidential Parlor that you might be interested in. It sounds like you both could use more than a weekend away. I want you to know that what your husband does for our Country is so amazing. I could never thank him or your family for all that you sacrifice for us. Good luck.

The downtown doubletree is a good choice...

Here is another...

Don't do the romance package at any typical hotel. A friend paid for a similar package at a fairfield inn when I got married and it was crap. A lot of money for some stale Hershey kisses and boone's farm (I don't drink so they arbitrarily gave me a 2-liter of albertson's ginger ale) We had a spa tub but it had broken glass in it.

I stayed at the doubletree downtown during mayfest and was less than impressed. Could hear the neighbors talking word for word and the complimentary water bottles were opened. Complained to management and they offered us a tin of cookies but they didn't have any.

So I'm not completely a negative nancy, I've been told by several people that the Renaissance on 71st is very nice. You might also look at the Ambassador downtown or a B&B.

Armywife-

Thank you to you and your husband for the sacrifice you both make for the rest of us.  I think the spouse's sacrifice goes overlooked way, way too much.

Hate to steer you away from Tulsa, but just not sure what is here for you that you may like. The McBirney bed and breakfast is romantic, but not a lot to do there. Hopefully they will add on in the future.  http://www.mcbirneymansion.com/ But not sure if thats the thing you are looking for.  For a weekend getaway I would suggest Eureka Springs Arkansas. Its really close, bout a 2 and a half hour drive, yet its so very different. There are lots of accomodations at all price ranges. The town itself has many different things to do and see. It makes for a very memorable weekend.  I personally like staying at the old Crescent Hotel. Treat yourself to one of the spas, take a tour of the old town in a horse drawn carriage, stay at a bed and breakfast, go shopping downtown, look at all the interesting art galleries, they have comedy and musical shows, etc.

Never been there but have heard nice things about The Cedar Rock Inn.

I too must thank you also for your family.  As the wife of a police officer, my understanding of your sacrifice as a wife, is only a DROP in the bucket of your reality!  You should also be thanked often.  You carry a heavy load so your husband can do his job.  Thank you both.

I would also suggest Jarrett Farms.  It's nice and has a lot of room, nice tubs, DVD's, and places to walk around.  We had dinner there for our anniversary and thought the meal was very nice.  It gets you a tad out of town, but still close if needed.

I have heard good things about Cedar Rock Inn as well, but when I checked their rates, they seemed over the top high, maybe they have changed.

We have also done the Renaissance thing for a night away.  There rooms are nice, there is a huge choice of dining nearby.  It's not the worst you could do!

Good luck to you and have an amazing time with your husband!

God Bless!

I would recommend the Price tower in Bartlesville.  Also, they have a nice restaurant there called Copper.  Their website is www.pricetower.org.

Also, I would recommend the Phillips Hotel in Bartlesville.  website is http://www.hotel-phillips.com/

And one last recommedation, I havent stayed there personally but I have heard its nice. The inn at Jarret farms in Ramona (halfway between Tulsa and Bartlesville on hwy 75).  Driving up to bartlesville, its a nice area set off the road.  Their website is http://www.jarrettfarm.com

Hope that helps!!

I have heard good things about the Romance package at the Ambassador hotel in downtown Tulsa.

Best of luck and let us know how it goes.  Well, not the details [;)]

Good call Michael!!!  My wife and I did this, it was wonderful.  Top class.  Dinner at the Chalkboard and a very nice room. [:)]

I would recommend an evening at the Palace Cafe, and then a night at the McBurney Mansion Bed and Breakfast on 14th and Riverside.

Really nice.

I would have to disagree with the Hotel Phillips in Bartlesville.  I stayed there over the ice storm--I would highly recommend it if you have no electricity and three kids that are cold and bored.  But for a romantic weekend, not so much.  Also, there aren't too many decent restaurants in Bartlesville.

Has anyone heard of the Cedar Rock Inn?  It actually looks very nice, but haven't heard much about it.  http://www.cedarrockinn.com/index.html

best bet around here is Price Tower in Bartlesville
