Anyone try the coffee bar?

Is it open - and where? May just go tomorrow and try it out!

I think it's tucked away near the front doors on the east. Not sure if it's open, I just assumed so.

The area you're talking about is my last picture in post number 1253. That back wall opens up and they have someone there preparing breakfast orders in the morning. It is just south of the front doors on the east.

Oh, ok. I didn't get close enough to see it.

Talking to some friends in the restaurant business, it seems Jim Thompson isn't getting very far in his attempts to find an operator for the space on the far west end of the ground floor.

Apparently he wants high rent and also wants someone that will serve breakfast through dinner. Very few restaurants are willing to do this due to the time and effort involved in those constant, crazy long days.

I suspect they will have to become more flexible before they find a tenant.

Waffle House?

Laura Lieghe is having her album release party on the sixth floor tonight.

[workman45]

A member of the staff was telling us about KD saying he had let the city down but guaranteed that they would win the next two games. He then said KD gave him his autographed game shoes and showed the pictures to back it up. Mr. Unreliable my a$$!!!!

A friend of mine is turning 35 today and we're going out to Dollhouse tonight but first we're watching the game at the WXYZ Bar. Should be a pretty good environment!

^^and a good environment it was. Tons of people there that night. We started out at the first floor bar but moved upstairs where you can look out the windows to the east just above the valet drive thru.

Had a few drinks there last night. Watched the game a bit then headed to watch the last of it at Deep Deuce Grill. There were so many people all over the Deep Deuce neighborhood last night; it was an amazing atmosphere.

It's packed again tonight.

So how do you gain access to the 6th floor bar? Is it private functions only?

No because the outdoor deck is open to anyone.

[Pete]

The 6th floor terrace is open to the public but also can be reserved for private functions, as it's part of the meeting space on the top floor.

I would be that as the hotel matures that space becomes less available to the general public, especially on weekends.

Was really cool to see. Walking home Friday night from Slim's I couldn't believe the number of people out and about. Felt like we were in Center City Philly or Hubbard St in Chicago. Just awesome.

So my sister is staying here this week from NYC and one initial impression she has about the aloft rooms is... no curtains!

I thought her room was pretty neat in general. Didn't even notice the no curtains thing until she pointed it out. She's sensitive to light when she sleeps and is concerned it'll wake her up earlier than she'd like (we can mitigate this I realize, but it just wasn't something she planned for). We'll see how the next few days goes.

The only things that came to MY attention was a surprising number of leaks from the heavy rains, but I'm sure that's resolvable.

My wife and had a stay-cation at the Aloft this week. We ate at Urban Johnnies and attended the Sisters Act production at the Civic. The rooms were fantastic. There were no curtains, but the movable shade worked just fine! you have to pull the chain located near the wall.

Thanks! I'll let her know...

This is probably not the best place to post this, but it looks like I will be in OKC this upcoming weekend. I can get a good deal on both the Ambassador and the Aloft. Which one would you all recommend?

[shawnw]

Both? one night at one and one at the other?

If you'll be in on Friday, I'd say Ambassador; you can walk down to H&8th easily. If not, I'd try Aloft.

It's awesome to have those two great choices, because either are withing walking distance to so many cool things.

Perhaps Aloft this time and Ambassador next time, when presumably Fassler Hall / Dust Bowl and Bleu Garten will all be open?
