Average Hotel Cost in Oklahoma by Month and Day
These are statewide averages from KAYAK’s search data. Event weekends in the big cities can break the normal monthly pattern, and KAYAK’s page is not fully consistent (its weekend-night average of $146 is above the $142 it gives for Friday), so use the figures as a guide rather than a quote.
| KAYAK statewide average | Approximate price per night |
|---|---|
| Average double room | $119 |
| Weeknight average (Sun-Thu) | $118 |
| Weekend-night average (Fri-Sat) | $146 |
| Cheapest month (January) | $105 |
| Most expensive month (May) | $149 |
| Cheapest day (Sunday) | $106 |
| Most expensive day (Friday) | $142 |
| 4-star hotel average | $216 |
| 5-star hotel average | $335 |
Friday costs about $36 more than Sunday in this data, and May is about $44 above January. For a flexible trip, a Sunday to Thursday stay outside May is the simplest way to lower the bill.

Cheapest Oklahoma Hotel Deals
KAYAK reports that the cheapest room it found statewide in the last three days was about $38, with 3-star rooms from about $47 and 4-star rooms from about $49. These are occasional deal prices that can disappear quickly, so do not treat them as the normal cost of a clean, well-reviewed hotel on every date.

How to Save on an Oklahoma Hotel
- Search flexible dates. Moving the stay by a night or two can avoid a major event or an expensive Friday.
- Book a refundable rate first. This protects your room choice while letting you recheck prices before the cancellation deadline. KAYAK says to book at least one day ahead for its best price, but event dates can sell out sooner.
- Compare nearby cities. A short drive can lower the nightly rate, but add fuel and parking to the comparison.
- Compare the hotel’s own website. Direct rates may include member discounts, breakfast or parking.
- Review the deposit. A low nightly price may require a large incidental hold at check-in.
- Use price alerts and compare the same room, bed type and cancellation policy each time.
Oklahoma Hotel Taxes and Fees
Advertised room rates often leave out part of the checkout total. Taxes differ by city: the City of Oklahoma City says its share of the hotel tax rose from 5.50% to 9.25% from October 1, 2024, and state and local sales taxes apply on top. Other Oklahoma cities set their own rates, so check the price breakdown at checkout rather than assuming one statewide figure. See our hotel occupancy tax guide for how states compare.
The Federal Trade Commission’s rule on unfair or deceptive fees (effective May 12, 2025) also covers short-term lodging: mandatory fees a seller can calculate up front generally must be included in the displayed total, while government taxes can be added later. Parking, pet fees, breakfast and early check-in can still change the final cost.
Hotel Amenities by Price Level in Oklahoma
Amenities vary more by property and brand than by a strict nightly price, but these expectations can help you compare value:
- Budget hotels: Basic Wi-Fi, television, private bathroom and often free surface parking. Breakfast may be basic or unavailable.
- Mid-range hotels: A fitness room, pool, larger rooms and a more substantial breakfast or on-site food option.
- Upscale hotels: A full-service restaurant, bar, valet parking, meeting space and premium bedding.
- Extended-stay properties: A kitchenette, microwave, workspace, guest laundry and sometimes discounted weekly pricing.
Confirm any amenity that matters to you, since pools can close for maintenance and “breakfast available” does not always mean breakfast is free. For upscale getaways and rentals, see our Oklahoma resort guide and Oklahoma Airbnb guide.
