Guthrie Inns, Guthrie

I have stayed at the Pollard Inn Four times now, each visit has been better then the last. This past trip was so fantastic I just had to write a review. Something I have never done before, but I thought my stay was worthy of it. The service is fantastic. Michelle and Larry the owners make you feel right at home. The facility is a late 1800 bank building and the rooms are all decorated differently. I noticed on this trip, new bedding and new antiques in the parlor. The lobby was also freshly remodeled. It must be a hugh undertaking renovating a building like that but the inn keepers keep making it better. But what prompted this review was the breakfast. It was the best I have ever had. And I don't say that lightly. I am well traveled and have eaten every where from the Waldorf to quaint country inns and the Pollard has them all beat. The breakfast was that fantastic. If you can't spend the night, call I hear they are going to open the dining room to the public soon. You eat in the old bank lobby with the ornate safe still in the wall. They call it Megan's although I didn't see a sign. It is actually their daughter's, a cute 12 year old you might find playing the grand piano. Yes you heard that right, the restauranteur is a 12 year old. But don't let that fool you. The decor is metropolitan and the chairs are so comfy you could spend the night. And all the plate and silver service is modern, clean squares and rectangles, very fun. And all the food is presented very artistically. Our breakfast was a 5-courses. First they brought us juice and coffee and almost immediately our first course. They started us with an entertaining cheese assortment. The chef actually came personally to introduce it to us. Followed by fruit that pared with the assortment of cheeses. Next, was a french toast with some crispy coating served with home made apple syrup. I could have easily had seconds of the french toast and called it a meal. It was the best I have had. The forth course was the fluffiest omelet I have ever seen. It was served with two types of sliced potatoes and a side tomato salad. It was so excellent, even though I was stuffed I cleaned my plate. The final course was a bunt cake with espresso. It was all simply wonderful. Each course led smoothly into the next. Gently waking us. Who would think at one point we would be pouring syrup and the next eating tomatoes but it all worked. They even refilled my juice several times. I would give the inn high marks and the restaurant even higher. Plan a weekend there, you will not regret it. And as mentioned if you can't spend the night at least stop for breakfast. I am sure we will see this girl on the food network soon.

We were hesitant to stay in an old historic inn vs the tried-and-true chains . . . we are so glad we did. The inn is very charming. Family owned and operated. Located in the heart of the downtown historic district, it was close to everything. We walked everywhere. Every room had an unique theme and decorated in antiques. The owners let us tour the other rooms. (Even if you can't stay it is worth walking in and asking to see a few rooms.) The dining room was under remodel during our stay but it is an old bank lobby with an intriguing history, (I will leave that for you to ask them.) It has what you would expect and want . . . tin ceiling, walk in vault, marble walls and large windows to look out on the town. The owners were very nice and accommodating. All in all, I highly recommend it. It was cheaper then any of the B & B's we checked out and not much more than a run-of-the-mill hotel room off the freeway. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK!

We stayed at the Pollard Inn a few days following Christmas. My family has two small children. I must admit that at first I wanted to stay at a cheaper motel until I arrived in Guthrie. I don't think we would have had the same experience had we not stayed with the Pollard Inn downtown. The hotel and staff definitely made the visit more enjoyable and worth the extra money. The charm and atmosphere of The Pollard Inn and Guthrie as a whole have us seriously thinking of moving there! Thanks to the Pollard staff for being apart of that!

i took my 86 year old mother for an over night trip an dthought it would be wonderful to stay in the pollard inn....we had two rooms and couldn't breath in them!!! Either they used some cleaning solvent or it was mold, but it was just horrible! Didn't get better in the morning when we went down to breakfast only to find the lights off in the lobby, the door locked and no one there!!! I guess we had to stay in our room until our 8:30 breakfast reservation...however we left as it was just too unfriendly and rather unnerving to know your the only person in a big hotel...we left before breakfast, but we had to unlock the door first to let ourselves out....didn't stick around to see what time the staff came in!!! We left about 8am so i guess we were suppose to stay in our rooms and your outta luck if you come down early for a cup of coffee!! this was however nothing as compared to the attitude of the manager who refused to refund our money on our rooms when we could not breath in them....seriously, it was like there was something in the air....and no emergency number to call....and then to come down to an empty dark lobby with no staff...and she acted like it was our fault!! i have been in hospitality industry for 10 years....the new manager might be able to cook, but she is not a good representation of what the guthrie should want people to remember what thier stay was like....everyone makes mistakes,but it takes a professional to know how to recover and have people want to come back.....we would never recommend the pollard to anyone!!!

The Pollard Inn in Guthrie, Oklahoma was known as the Harrison House and in the early 90's it was a jazzy little hotel, new and quaint at the same time. It's been down on it's heels until just recently. They've brought in a new Innkeeper, a New York trained Chef, and lots of upgrades are going on it appears: all new bedding, plush linens and towels, and don't plan on sleeping TOO late because you just WAAAAYYYYY don't want to miss breakfast! If anyone tells you they don't recommend the Pollard Inn, ask them the last time they visited....it's a jewel and a bargain at half the price! And ask them about the new spa in town! Awesome!
