Bricktown deserves better. Keep in mind that this corner (Sheridan & Lincoln) is one of the main entrances into Bricktown.

The fact that it was ever approved is beyond me. I was only comparing it to the Hampton Inn as one being urban and the other is sub-urban in design and site placement.

Much better than the previous proposal. LJ, I agree on the Hampton Inn, but the Residence Inn is located at least six car lengths from the street. Here is a link to their photo tour: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/photo-tours.mi?marshaCode=okcbt&pageID=HWHOM&imageID=1 I agree that is should be closer with maybe some parking on the side, but I am not upset with the layout.

Much like the Lower Bricktown Residence Inn vs. the bricktown Hampton Inn. Closer to the street is a more urban in design. Why can’t this buidling be located closer to the street?

This allows them to not use reverse... unfortunately, fire departments across the country have problems with serious injury and death related to backing up into old stations...

Move it closer to the street. Now. && Why is that back parking lot so large? Do the fire trucks travel through the back parking lot also? If thats the deal, then fine. But that parking lot is to large for the amoun of parking places it has.
