6/10
I mean no disrespect to the owners, but this place wasn’t the vibe for us. My daughter and I were road-tripping for her senior trip and booked this “city view” room for a great price. The decor? Beautiful. That’s where the good surprises ended.
Velvet Woody is in a tiny town about an hour from both OKC and Tulsa. When we arrived around 7pm, the cute coffee shop and BBQ place mentioned in reviews were closed. Our dinner options were fast food, gas station snacks, or an Indian place in a half-abandoned gas station.
Check-in is via digital lock on a glass door off Main Street. It took 4 tries. Inside: silent. No staff. Just a stairwell and keys hanging on hooks. Very DIY. Room 5 had big windows that technically offered a “view,” but “city” is generous. The amber lights flickered like candles. It was… unsettling. Maybe haunted? Our spidey senses said no. We left and booked a Marriott in Tulsa instead. God bless Marriott.
We lost the $90... no travel insurance, and I doubt “the vibes were haunted” is covered. But lesson learned.
3 stars: The listing wasn’t dishonest. It’s clean, self-check-in was disclosed, and the place is stocked with towels and soap. Just maybe not for everyone. Bring salt and sage.
