If I could give this place 10 stars and a standing ovation, I would--while slow-clapping and…read moreweeping tears of joy. Let me paint you a picture: April 2025, Pawhuska, Oklahoma. The streets were under construction, the air was filled with the scent of progress, and I was just trying to figure out where to park without committing a minor traffic violation. Enter: Alyssa, front desk superhero and honorary valet ninja. We called in confusion, and before I could even hang up the phone, she had teleported across the street, helped us with our luggage, checked us in, made our dinner reservations, and whisked our car away like a parking fairy godmother. I half expected her to leave behind a trail of glitter. We stayed in the Tack Room, which I can only describe as what would happen if a luxury spa and a Pinterest board had a baby. The bed? So comfortable I briefly considered faking an injury to stay longer. My husband, a mattress snob of the highest order, literally pulled back the sheets to investigate the brand. (We have a fancy mattress at home. This one made it look like a pile of hay.) Midnight snacks? Oh, they thought of that. Chocolate bars, pretzels, drinks--including beer--all waiting like little edible hugs. The bathroom? Spa-like bliss. My husband beat me to the tub, and I'm still not over it. Breakfast via room service was divine. Pro tip: get the Spicy Cowgirl coffee--it's like a warm hug from a caffeinated cowgirl with a kick. When it was time to leave (tragically), we came downstairs to find our car already pulled up, loaded with our Merc haul (yes, I blacked out and bought half the store). The Boarding House manager--whose name I forgot because I waited a month to write this--was just as amazing. She answered all my questions like it was her first time hearing them, not her thousandth. Bottom line: If you're in Pawhuska and don't stay here, you're doing it wrong. This place isn't just a hotel--it's an experience. Do the social hour on the balcony, watch the sunset, enjoy the turn-down service, and let yourself be spoiled. You deserve it.

It won't cost you a million dollars but you'll feel like a million bucks staying there!…read more Mom and I did Pawhuska's 4th of July celebrations and stayed here in 2 nights. We had so much fun and from driving up to the very hugs goodbye, our hosts and proprietors, Cheryl and Stan were warm and welcoming. They are the perfect couple to run a cute place like this because they are friendly and true ambassadors of the little town. They go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and have all the amenities you need. Cheryl even heard that my mom has trouble walking so she shifted accommodations for us when we reserved a month out so that my mom would not struggle with stairs. They invited us to church and we're always checking when we arrived back that we are enjoying our stay. Our room was quaint, cozy, yet spacious and the large king bed was so comfortable! We wanted to buy the decorations as they were so cute and made you feel like you were staying Osage cowboy and Indian country. I highly recommend this place to stay as it overlooks the town on a top of the hill and yet is quiet and peaceful too. I was able to sit on the back porch in the morning writing postcards and reading my Bible. Next time I'm in the area, I'll be staying there again. Go and get an authentic small town experience with the friendliest people around!

So…read morewe decided to go to Tonkowa casino just as we have many times before to have a relaxing fun time of gambling and relaxing times for the holiday. I have gambled thousands away at this place and always get their offers. This day brought no alcohol sales and the worst dry turkey dinner I ever had. We love Buffalo Grill and never had a bad meal, but this was the worst ever, and all for just a small price of $17 per meal. I have never noticed a time they didn't payout any jackpots as I did this day. I know they posted a big payout on facebook as I would expect that messaging to be appropriate. My message to all is this is not the place to enjoy the holiday. They don't want to make you happy and feel good on a Holiday. Stay away!

Other than that, I highly recommend the hotel.

While on a road trip visiting several tornado alley states, I chose Osage Casino Hotel as my stop in Oklahoma being that I wanted to visit the Twister Museum in Wakita the next day. Not too many hotels out that way so Ponca City seemed like a good choice. This was literally the nicest hotel I have stayed in outside of Vegas! The rooms are BEAUTIFUL and spacious. There's a living room area up front with a TV and the bedroom has an additional TV as well. Really nice and clean bathroom with a very modern shower. Vanity mirror to do your makeup, kitchen sink area above the refrigerator. I actually wish I could have taken this hotel room with me on the rest of my trip. Great view of the pool and it was wonderfully quiet in the room for sleeping. There's no smoking on the hotel room floors and you couldn't smell anything despite smoking being allowed in the casino. They had a really nice free breakfast as well and the front desk personnel were so friendly and accommodating. I'd go back to Ponca City just to stay in this hotel again. Deserves more than 5 stars for the amazingly low price you pay.

My other issue was the smell. I dont smoke. I expected the casino to be smokey. But my room smelled like a lit cigarette. The smell permeates everything. If it didn't smell of cigarettes, i would have given a 4nor 5 star. Needs air purification badly.

The front desk night manager handled my call ahead with professionalism and never acted bothered by my seeming constant returns for various things. The pool area is clean and welcoming, the pool water warm. It was not the largest pool. I gave up on laps when all my kids got in and just did exercises in the corner of the pool to burn off some calories. The rooms were nicely appointed for the level of hotel it is (discount), and the breakfast was nothing shabby. I liked that one waffle maker can make four mini waffles so you don't feel like you must fill the whole thing or eat too much or waste food. They did keep the main lobby and breakfast room a bit too toasty. I agree with the other reviewer the doors were noisy, and I was also bothered by the person in the room next door. It had one of those adjoining doors, though the connected room beside us was handicapped so my family did not get that as their second room. We booked the same day, so I don't know if they could have accommodated us better with more notice. The neighbor came in late and the light under the door bothered me. I would have appreciated a continuous fan temperature control too.
