OKLAHOMA CITY – December 17, 2009 – The 311-room Renaissance Oklahoma City Convention Center, Hotel & Spa at 10 North Broadway Avenue, just a block from the popular Bricktown Canal Entertainment District in Oklahoma City, is now offering the area’s only complimentary airport shuttle service for hotel guests. Formally a $46 value roundtrip, $23 one way, the recently renovated, luxury hotel is offering a convenient, free shuttle option for its discerning guests. No reservations are required for the airport shuttle. Guests can simply contact the hotel at (405) 228-8000 upon arrival at the Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City, or request the shuttle service 20 minutes prior to departing the hotel.
According to Tracy Swibold, director of sales and marketing for the Renaissance Oklahoma City Convention Center, Hotel & Spa, the free airport shuttle has been an immediate hit with guests, especially in response to today’s tightened travel budgets. “We recognize guests are looking for ways to extend their travel dollars, and we’re here to help be a part of the solution for creating spectacular travel memories,” Swibold said.
Swibold also shared some new enjoyable options at the full-service, contemporary hotel for travelers to apply the former shuttle fee:
• Shuttle Saver Spa Package, $46*: Includes an Elemental Manicure and relaxing chair massage
• Shuttle Saver Dinner, $23*: Includes a house salad, Chipotle Macaroni with choice of crab meat or chicken breast strips, iced tea or soda, and a dessert of the day available in the hotel’s full-service restaurant
Hotel guest Trudy Prejean of Houston describes the free airport shuttle at the Renaissance Oklahoma City as an unexpected delight. “The complimentary airport shuttle service is fabulous. The ride was relaxing and the $46 I saved was well spent in the hotel spa! The hotel was gorgeous and the service was outstanding,” Prejean said.
