Sheraton Oklahoma City Downtown: the address, the block, and what staying at 1 N Broadway really means

If you only remember one thing at 2 a.m. check‑in, make it this: the Sheraton sits at 1 N Broadway Ave, right in the middle of downtown Oklahoma City’s business grid. That address buys you quick walks to the arena, a streetcar platform half a block over on Sheridan, and a lobby that stays active long after a game lets out. I’ve watched conference folks, Thunder fans, and road‑weary families all land here for the same reason. The location does most of the work.

Where is 1 N Broadway, and what does that block buy you?

The Sheraton faces Broadway Avenue at the north edge of the arena district and a couple of turns from Bricktown. Paycom Center’s front doors sit on 100 W Reno Ave, a straight shot south. Myriad Botanical Gardens fills the block west of the hotel’s back side, and Scissortail Park spreads a few minutes farther toward the new convention center. You’re not peering at the skyline from the highway here. You’re in it.

Self‑parking uses the attached Century Center Garage complex. The city lists that structure at 100 W Main St with 779 total spaces, 19 ADA spaces, and a 6'8" clearance. The garage’s Century Center streetcar platform sits on Sheridan Avenue by the same building name, which is why I tell guests to look for the pink and green cars before they look for a rideshare queue.

The OKC Streetcar has gone zero‑fare. As of August 7, 2026, the downtown loops are free to ride, and they still keep extended hours into the night. The posted service window runs approximately 6 a.m.–midnight Monday–Thursday, 6 a.m.–2 a.m. Friday, 7 a.m.–2 a.m. Saturday, and 7 a.m.–10 p.m. Sunday. If you’re hauling kids or nursing a to‑go coffee, stepping onto a climate‑controlled streetcar right off Sheridan beats frog‑gering past event traffic.

Two green spaces matter for this address. Myriad Botanical Gardens opens its outdoor grounds daily from early morning until late evening, and the Inasmuch Foundation Crystal Bridge Conservatory posts 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday–Saturday and 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Sunday for entry. Scissortail Park, stretched across the new boulevard, hosts concerts, kids’ fields, and fitness classes on a published calendar. If you’re here to give kids some grass time between meetings, these hours are your pressure valve.

What will you actually pay and when can you eat or crash?

Hotel websites don’t love to be plain, so here is the plain version for this property, taken from the hotel’s own pages. Check‑in is 3:00 p.m., and check‑out is 12:00 p.m.. There’s no gotcha resort fee hiding in the fine print. Wi‑Fi is complimentary for Marriott Bonvoy members.

Parking at the Sheraton runs two ways. Self‑parking posts at $15 per day with an hourly option of $2 if you’re popping in for a short meeting. Valet is listed at $36 per day. Oversized vehicles are a nonstarter thanks to the 6'8" ceiling in the connected garage. On game nights, our panels light up green and red like everyone else’s, but I’ve watched plenty of guests avoid the crunch by sliding into Century Center before the first wave hits and finishing the last two blocks on the streetcar.

Pets are allowed and the rules are not vague. The Sheraton’s stated policy allows up to 2 pets per room, max 50 lbs each. The nonrefundable fee hits as $100 for the first pet and $50 for the second. This is a per‑stay fee, not per night, which matters for a multiday tournament run.

On site, you have three food and drink outlets with posted hours instead of “open evenings” guesswork. Block 23 serves hotel‑breakfast straight and a compact lunch menu, with hours listed as 6:30–10:30 a.m. for breakfast and 11:00 a.m.–1:30 p.m. for lunch daily. Aria Lounge opens late afternoon and runs to close, posted as 4:00–11:00 p.m. Sunday and Monday, 4:00 p.m.–midnight Tuesday–Thursday, and 4:00 p.m.–1:00 a.m. Friday–Saturday. The lobby’s grab‑and‑go counter, Library Coffee & Co., runs mornings 6:30–11:00 a.m. If you’re here on a Platinum‑or‑above Marriott Bonvoy status, the Sheraton Club Lounge is flagged as complimentary at that tier. Outdoor pool is seasonal and included; the fitness room is open without a surcharge.

How does it stack up to the other downtown choices near the arena?

You have four realistic walks‑to‑everything picks if your target is the arena, the convention center, or Scissortail. They are different on the bills that hit your folio.

Here’s how that plays on a real weekend. If you want a lap pool or a massage before a matinee at the arena, the Omni is the one with a built‑in spa. If you’re fine with a morning coffee stand and a no‑drama walk to the streetcar, the Sheraton covers the basics without skimming your card on add‑ons. The Skirvin wins people who like a piano bar and classic architecture, with a pet policy that scales by length of stay. Colcord’s valet‑only approach fits business trips that start and end on foot inside the CBD.

Is it really “walkable” to games, the gardens, and Bricktown, or is that hotel‑speak?

From 1 N Broadway to Paycom Center’s main entrances on Reno, I see most guests cover it in about the time it takes to drink a lobby coffee on the way out the door. The route is a couple of simple turns. If you’re leaving the arena late, the Aria Lounge is still open until 11:00 p.m. on Sunday and Monday, midnight Tuesday through Thursday, and 1:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. That matters when a show runs long and you still want a nightcap without calling a car.

Myriad Botanical Gardens is essentially your backyard. The grounds are free all day into the evening. The Crystal Bridge operates a shorter schedule, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday–Saturday and 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Sunday. For families, Bricktown is a comfortable hop east on Sheridan or Reno, but I tell folks with small kids to use the free streetcar from the Century Center platform and let the rail do the herding. On Saturday nights, the Bricktown loop runs until 2 a.m.

Scissortail Park’s draw is the space. The north lawn handles concerts and fitness classes, the lower park fields are signed for leagues and youth play, and posted calendars show rentals and community events throughout the year. If you’re the one in the group who packs a soccer ball or yoga mat, you’ll actually use it here.

Parking playbook for event nights near the Sheraton

If you’re checking in on a concert or Thunder date, decide before you exit the interstate whether you’re parking where you sleep or parking where you play. At the Sheraton, self‑park at $15/day and valet at $36/day stay consistent, and charging it to your room means you’re not fishing for a pay station after midnight. The garage’s 6'8" clearance is non‑negotiable, so taller SUVs with racks need to measure twice.

If your plan is to bounce all afternoon around Scissortail and the convention center, the city’s signed garages south of the boulevard are the cheapest straight numbers. The Oklahoma City Convention Center Garage posts $10 for 24 hours with no in‑and‑out privileges. That “no re‑entry” phrase is the trap that turns a cheap park into two separate fees if you accidentally move the car for dinner. I watch visitors learn that the hard way every weekend.

When the event is at the arena and your hotel sits north of Reno, the Sheridan‑Walker and Century Center facilities usually handle the crowd taper a little smoother than the garages that sit directly across from the doors. Their walking routes run with traffic control and a streetcar platform nearby. On a sold‑out night you still want to arrive early, but you aren’t trapped in one queue that never seems to move.

Key things to know before you book

• The Sheraton’s posted address is 1 N Broadway Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73102. That puts you between the arena front on Reno and the civic core around Park Avenue and Main.
• Self‑parking at the Sheraton is $15/day and valet is $36/day. The attached Century Center Garage clearance is 6'8", so roof boxes and tall work trucks won’t clear.
• Pet rules are strict but clear. Up to 2 pets, each under 50 lbs. The fee is $100 for the first pet and $50 for the second, per stay.
• Outlet hours are posted and consistent: Block 23 breakfast 6:30–10:30 a.m., lunch 11:00 a.m.–1:30 p.m.; Aria Lounge opens at 4:00 p.m. daily and runs late; Library Coffee & Co. serves 6:30–11:00 a.m..
• The OKC Streetcar is fare‑free as of August 7, 2026. Service runs daily, with Friday and Saturday schedules extending to 2 a.m. The Century Center platform on Sheridan is the one you’ll use from the Sheraton.
• Comparing downtown stays by the numbers: Omni’s valet is $39 overnight and its convention center garage partner is $10/24 hours without re‑entry, while the Skirvin posts $20 day‑use parking and pet fees that scale to length of stay. Colcord’s valet runs $35 with no self‑park option.

Reader Q&A

How close is the Sheraton to Paycom Center?

It sits one block north of Reno Avenue at 1 N Broadway Ave. The arena’s address is 100 W Reno Ave, and guests typically walk it in just a few minutes. If you prefer not to cross with event traffic, the free OKC Streetcar from the Century Center platform on Sheridan will carry you toward the arena platforms with minimal weaving.

What will parking cost me if I’m staying at the Sheraton over a Thunder game?

The hotel lists self‑parking at $15 per day and valet at $36 per day, with a 6'8" garage clearance. If you instead choose the Convention Center Garage across the boulevard because you’ll be around Scissortail, know that it posts $10 for 24 hours but without in‑and‑out privileges.

Are pets allowed at the Sheraton, and is there a weight limit?

Yes. The policy allows up to 2 pets per room with a 50 lb maximum each. The fee is $100 for the first pet and $50 for the second, charged once per stay. If you need a looser limit, the Skirvin and Colcord post higher weight allowances, but they carry their own fee structures.

Can I grab real breakfast on site before an early meeting?

Yes. Block 23 opens at 6:30 a.m. for breakfast and serves until 10:30 a.m. If you only have time for coffee and a pastry, Library Coffee & Co. runs 6:30–11:00 a.m. daily. Those posted hours have been reliable through heavy event weeks.

If you want the simplest arena walk with a low, predictable parking number, the Sheraton’s 1 N Broadway address does what it says. If a spa, a rooftop pool, or a heritage lobby matters more than your nightly rate and pet cap, pick from the Omni, Skirvin, or Colcord and let the free streetcar close the last blocks.
