Escape to Bricktown: Luxurious Comfort Inn Stay Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the world of Escape to Bricktown: Luxurious Comfort Inn Stay Awaits! I'm gonna dissect this place like a frog in biology class, but way more fun. And honestly? After looking at that list of amenities… deep breath… let's see if it lives up to the hype.
First off, let's get the boring stuff out of the way. Accessibility: "Facilities for disabled guests" is on the list. Okay, great. But lemme tell you, "accessible" isn't just a checkbox. It's about how easy things actually are. Is the ramp wide enough for a power chair? Are the buttons on the elevators low enough? Are the room features truly accessible, or just technically so? I want to know, people! Demand details! Wheelchair accessible is listed… that's a good start, but I need specifics. And with that, I'm going to keep the really good stuff on a separate part of the review once I get to the hotel itself.
Cleanliness and Safety are obviously a big deal right now. I'm glad to see things like Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, and Staff trained in safety protocol. This is a MUST-HAVE. Rooms sanitized between stays is… excellent. Seeing Room sanitization opt-out available is a nice touch for those who might have allergies. Physical distancing of at least 1 meter? Okay, not every place is going to enforce the rules, but this hotel is seeming really thorough!
Now, the real fun starts: Dining, Drinking, and Snacking. Oh, baby. This is where I live. We've got Restaurants, A la carte in restaurant, Breakfast [buffet], Poolside bar, Happy hour, Room service [24-hour] (yes, please!), Coffee shop, and even a Vegetarian restaurant?! Okay, Comfort Inn, you're speaking my language. The fact that there is both Western cuisine in restaurant and Asian cuisine in restaurant is exciting! They even have Desserts in restaurant and Snack bar. If I don’t get a stomach ache from over indulging, I'm going to be deeply disappointed. I'm already mentally preparing for a poolside margarita. Buffet in restaurant can be hit or miss (covid has changed things!) but I'm hoping for the best.
Services and Conveniences: Air conditioning in public area? Essential in Bricktown, my friends! Dry cleaning, Laundry service, Daily housekeeping, and Ironing service. Okay, so I could go full-on slob and make a mess, and they’ll clean it up. Tempting… very tempting. Cash withdrawal… gotta love it. Concierge? Always helpful for insider tips. Elevator? Yes, please! Luggage storage, good for my weirdly specific luggage items. Car park [free of charge] and Car park [on-site]? Double win!
Things to Do/Ways to Relax: Sauna, spa, gym? OH YES! Body wrap? Body scrub? I feel like I deserve this. Swimming pool [outdoor]? Sold! The Pool with view intrigues me… what kind of view are we talking about? And Fitness center? Okay, I might actually use it… after I've eaten my weight in the buffet.
For the Kids: Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, and Kids meal is a fantastic. Good for those who need a bit of peace and quiet.
Available in all rooms is the most important category to us! Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Coffee/tea maker, Hair dryer, etc. So, basically, what I expect from any decent hotel. Also, the Internet is the most important part. Wi-Fi [free]! Thank god, otherwise, how would I tell everyone about this place!

Maybe you're like me, and the idea of "luxury" isn't about marble floors (though, hey, I'm not complaining). It's about freedom. The freedom to choose when to eat, when to sleep, when to do absolutely nothing.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this itinerary is less "polished travel brochure" and more "scribbled-on-napkin-after-three-too-many-lagers." We're off to Oklahoma City, specifically the glorious, slightly-dingy (but hey, it's part of the charm, right?) Comfort Inn & Suites near Bricktown. And honestly? I'm already mentally preparing myself for the complimentary breakfast. Pray for me.
Day 1: Arrival, Anticipation, and the Quest for Decent Coffee
Morning (ish):
- 10:00 AM (give or take an hour): ARRIVAL! Okay, more like "stumble out of the car after a six-hour drive fueled by gas station coffee and existential dread." Honestly, the drive from [Insert where I’m coming from - it’s a secret, maybe] was rough. My back feels like a crumpled piece of paper. The Comfort Inn, however, is promising. Clean(ish), brightly lit, and hey, the lobby smells suspiciously like chlorine… which, in a hotel, is strangely comforting. Check in is a breeze, though the front desk guy looked like he'd seen a ghost. Maybe the complimentary breakfast isn't that great?
- Anecdote: Last time I stayed in a hotel, I tried to impress the front desk lady by saying I was "a world traveler." She just raised an eyebrow and said, "Honey, you still haven't figured out how to operate the coffee machine in your room." Burn.
- 10:30 AM (give or take an hour and a half): Unpack. Okay, "throw clothes haphazardly into a drawer" might be more accurate. The suitcase is staying closed, because let's be honest, it's easier. My room is…adequate. Cleanish, as mentioned, and the air conditioning is blasting like a hurricane. Gotta love that hotel AC.

Check in is a breeze, though the front desk guy looked like he'd seen a ghost. Maybe the complimentary breakfast isn't that great?
Afternoon:
- 12:00 PM: The Crucial Coffee Mission: The single most important task of the day. Armed with Yelp reviews (and a healthy dose of skepticism), I'm on the hunt for a decent caffeine fix. This is a matter of life and death. I'm thinking a local coffee shop. No Starbucks, no matter how tempting. Gotta support the little guys…and avoid the shame of another burnt hotel room coffee experience.
- Option 1: "The Daily Grind" – Looks cute, reviews say good coffee. Could be promising.
- Option 2: "Coffee and Crumbs" – Slightly further, but the pastries look divine. Decisions, decisions… (The siren song of carbs is strong).
- Quirky Observation: Why is it that local coffee shops always have the most enthusiastic baristas? Like, they're genuinely happy to be making you a latte. It's… inspiring and slightly intimidating.
- 1:30 PM: Fuelled by caffeine and hope, I’ll wander Bricktown. The area is known for its canals & riverwalk. I'm hoping to soak up the atmosphere. Touristy stuff, yes, but sometimes you just gotta embrace it. Plus, I'm on the lookout for a good place for dinner. I'm leaning toward anything that isn't fried. (Famous last words).
- 3:00 PM: A wander around (or maybe get lost in) Bricktown. I really hope I do not get lost, because I do not want to be found.
- Reaction: I'm equal parts excited and terrified I will actually have fun. Can you imagine? Okay, deep breaths. This is what I'm here for.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Pray for me. Seriously. No more fried food. I need actual vegetables. Praying for a place with a nice vibe and good lighting. (Important for Instagram, duh.)
- Opinion: I'm skeptical about finding a truly amazing restaurant in a touristy area. But hey, stranger things have happened. And if it's awful, I might just order pizza to the room and watch bad reality TV. No judgment, please
- 8:00 PM: Post-dinner stroll along the Bricktown canal. More people-watching. Maybe I'll see a boat. Maybe I'll fall in the canal. (Okay, maybe not.)
- 9:00 PM: Back to the Comfort Inn – hopefully, not smelling like fish. Maybe watch some terrible TV (hotel TV rules), or read a trashy novel. Or both. And definitely, definitely, start planning the next day's coffee mission.

Gotta support the little guys…and avoid the shame of another burnt hotel room coffee experience.
Evening:
- 10:00 PM: Hit the hay. (Or, you know, collapse onto the bed.) The Comfort Inn bed. Pray it’s not like a rock. Get ready.
Day 2: Zoo Shenanigans, and the (Possible) Triumph of the Morning Buffet
- Morning:
- 7:00 AM (or when I inevitably wake up from the aforementioned early bird): The dreaded complimentary breakfast. This is the moment I've been both anticipating and dreading. Let's be honest, hotel breakfasts are a crapshoot. I'm steeling myself for rubbery eggs, questionable sausage, and the near-certainty of a lukewarm coffee dispenser.
- Anecdote: Once, in a hotel in… well, let's just say "somewhere." The breakfast eggs were so pale and lifeless that I’m pretty sure they were made in a lab. I’m optimistic they have food this time.
- 8:00 AM: Conquer the breakfast buffet. Report back on findings. (Seriously, send prayers.)
- Emotional Reaction: God help me. This is the crux of the whole trip. Will it be a triumphant victory? Or a culinary catastrophe? (I'm betting on the latter, but I'm clinging to a sliver of hope.)
- 8:30 AM: Breakfast.
- 9:00 AM: Head to the Oklahoma City Zoo! I'm a sucker for a good zoo. Animals! Cute! And hopefully, a welcome break from the overwhelming feeling of "being a tourist."
- Quirky Observation: Zoo animals always seem to be judging you, like they know all your secrets.
- 7:00 AM (or when I inevitably wake up from the aforementioned early bird): The dreaded complimentary breakfast. This is the moment I've been both anticipating and dreading. Let's be honest, hotel breakfasts are a crapshoot. I'm steeling myself for rubbery eggs, questionable sausage, and the near-certainty of a lukewarm coffee dispenser.
- Afternoon:
- 12:00 PM: Lunch at the Zoo (or nearby… depending on how hungry I am, and how expensive the zoo food is). Hopefully, they have something besides hot dogs.
- 1:00 PM- 3:00 PM: Zoo time: Focus on the big cats and the monkeys – and avoid the gift shop at all costs (unless, of course, I see a particularly fabulous plushie).
- Rambling: I love zoos. The thrill of seeing animals that aren't just squirrels and pigeons… it's weird, right? But I'm excited to see some animals. I like animals.
- 4:00 PM: Back to the hotel for a nap (essential), or a quick dip in the pool. (If the pool's not too crowded, and if it doesn't look particularly… murky.)
- Evening:
- 7:00 PM: Dinner somewhere new. Perhaps a recommendation from the front desk guy? (If he’s not still haunted.) Or, if all else fails, pizza and bad TV, again.
- 9:00 PM: Relax. Maybe watch a movie. Maybe go to bed early. Maybe I'll just stare at the ceiling and contemplate the meaning of life.
- 10:00 PM: Doze off to sleep.
Day 3: Departure and the Lingering Taste of Questionable Eggs
- Morning:
- 7:00 AM: The final breakfast battle. I can't say I'm sad to leave the complimentary buffet behind, but I'm also strangely… nostalgic? (Maybe it's the impending drive home, and the thought of my own cooking.)
- 8:00 AM: Check out. Say goodbye to the Comfort Inn, and to the lingering scent of chlorine.
- Emotional Reaction: A surprisingly bittersweet moment. This trip has been a rollercoaster of emotions, from the initial excitement to the low-key dread to the unexpected moments of joy.
- Afternoon:
- 8:30 AM: Start the long drive home.
- 12:30 PM: Stop for a late lunch. Get some food.
- Evening
- 5:00 PM: Arrive home. Done!
In Conclusion:
- This itinerary is subject to change. Spontaneity is key. I'm not promising anything (especially not good coffee). But I am promising a slightly messy, hopefully funny, and ultimately honest exploration of Oklahoma City. Wish me luck. And send coffee. And maybe some therapy.
So, "Luxurious Comfort Inn"? Really? Is that… accurate? Because Comfort Inns are usually, y'know… comfortable. Maybe.
Bricktown? Isn't that, like, a tourist trap? Should I avoid it like the plague?
What's the deal with this "canal boat" thingy? I've heard whispers... and I'm terrified.
The Breakfast... Tell me everything! Is it edible? Is there a Waffle Maker?
Parking? Is the parking situation a total nightmare? Because I hate parking nightmares.
Okay, okay, so… would you recommend it? Honestly?
