Oklahoma hotels and motels abound, but which one offers the best accommodations for your particular business trip? If you plan to be there a day or a weekend, the accommodations you need will be different than those needed for a longer stay. If you are entertaining your clients or meeting with them for business, this can also be a factor in where you stay, especially if you are providing the meeting room.

Choose the best facilities to make your business trip a success. You may need wireless Internet, unlimited free local calls, a business center to send faxes or meeting room capabilities. On longer stays, you may prefer a suite to just a room. Look for the following when you book Oklahoma motel rooms:

1. Find OKLA motels offering overnight accommodations.

2. Select OKLA hotels that offer extended stay low cost options.

3. Add Oklahoma hotel rooms to your itinerary for that working and getaway business trip.

Look for inns in Oklahoma for short term stays

If you are going to Oklahoma for a one day business meeting, you just need a place to park yourself overnight, and then catch your flight home in the morning. As long as the room is clean, comfortable and offers basics such as Internet, it should do the job for you.

I recommend: Crowne Plaza by Intercontinental offers rooms with high-speed Internet access and coffee makers in all rooms. They have a restaurant on premises and offer shuttle service to the airport and parking for a daily extra fee. Radisson by Carlson provides free high-speed Internet, free parking, free breakfast and business center.

Pick extended stay motels in Oklahoma for longer stays

When you will be staying for a week or longer, extended stay hotels in Oklahoma are your best bet for a successful business trip. These hotels offer more than one room suites; they provide full kitchens, business centers, high speed wireless Internet and meeting centers.

I recommend: Crestwood Suites Extended Stay Hotels offers fully equipped kitchens in the rooms. They have a swimming pool, meeting room and car rental desk on the premises to meet your business needs. Quality Inn and Suites by Choice provides free high-speed Internet access, free breakfast and free local calls in their suites.

Make your Oklahoma hotel reservation near a resort for business and pleasure

Oklahoma offers a variety of terrain including the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, hardwood forests and tall grassy plains. Enjoy such cultural events as craft shows and powwows put on by the Native Americans who populate the area. Oklahoma hotels and motels located near cowboy museums and historic sites lend to a vacation that you will not find elsewhere.

I recommend: Visit a local winery or go parasailing to name a couple of the many activities to take part in when you stay at The Cabins at Grand Lake. Freshwater fishing or visiting local museums round out the list of things to do at this leisure resort. Southern Oaks Resort and Spa offer kitchens and satellite TV with DVD/VCR in every room. Ride the riverboat, visit Pensacola Dam, play golf or go to the hot rod and car museum; your choice of fun is unlimited.
