My husband and I stayed two nights at The Skirvin Hilton in Oklahoma City to attend our granddaughter’s volleyball tournament. Our choice was based heavily on good reviews, but they may not have done The Skirvin justice! My first point of contact was by phone to inquire about parking before we arrived. Lena was so knowledgeable and helpful, I actually sought her out after we arrived to thank her for taking such good care of our needs! Each person we came in contact with, from valet, guest services, housekeeping and the restaurant, provided a deep, old-school kind of service that is often missing in today’s service industry. The genteel elegance and charm of The Skirvin isn’t just skin deep, it permeates through all layers of the building and staff. Other reviewers noted the fact that this is an old hotel, but it has all the modern upgrades to make your stay wonderful and they were spot on. We had an amazing king suite on the third floor that was almost apartment-like in size. This property is undergoing extensive renovations of guest rooms floor by floor, but we were never disturbed or even realized it. While we could see the need for some refreshing in our suite, we were still very comfortable and pleased. Side note - elevators were very quick! The Skirvin has a full service restaurant on the main floor and the breakfast options are amazing. The breakfast crew was cheerful and coffee was perfect. As a morning person, I appreciated this greatly. You can add breakfast to your reservation via the Hilton app or when you call for reservations and I highly recommend doing this. It’s a wonderful added value. We didn’t take advantage of the bar during our stay, but it was beautifully appointed and the piano was a nice addition. This hotel is located an easy, well lit walk (7 or 8 minutes) from OKC’s Bricktown, with a myriad of restaurant options. We loved the Bricktown Brewery in particular. Parking is Valet only and the young men were all cheerful, courteous and very quick with our car. This was a top notch weekend and we loved The Skirvin Hilton.
