"Where-is-the-box" innovation?(Posted by francois to: product innovation )
Decision Analysts (a market research and consulting company) released a white paper titled "In the box innovation" (get it here – free but requires registration) – via Corante's Idea Flow and also Innovation Weblog.
The paper posits that too little effort is spent on idea generation in new product development while too many resources are being spent on the idea-to-product process. With an idea-to-successful-product ratio of 1.5% (based on a Dunn & Bradstreet report), they suggest that companies should spend more cycles on idea generation. And when they do that, they should not just focus on getting out-of-the-box ideas from their creative employees – a common practice amongst companies that have formal idea management processes.
Instead, they recommend that companies use directed innovation methods to uncover new ideas. Directed innovation is when you ask a group of people to brainstorm within a fairly narrow focus area. The hypothesis, which they try to confirm through an online innovation project conducted late last year (and described in the paper), is that if you use directed innovation you will generate more ideas, more innovative ideas, more "relevant" ideas, and more actionable ideas. The case study which they use to make their point involves two groups of people who were asked to brainstorm on a new chocolate product, one receiving much more directions than the other. Note that the people they recruited were not your average consumer. Here is what they have to say about those people:
"Our Imaginators™ panel consists of everyday consumers who have been recruited based on their high levels of idea-centric creativity, their ability to come up with many original ideas for new products and services, and their skill in elaborating on those ideas as well. Potential panelists must undergo a creativity evaluation and score within the top four percent of the population before they are invited to join."
First – I agree with the authors that most companies should spend more time on the idea generation and the idea-to-concept part of the product lifecycle. It is during that part of the lifecycle that you determine all the factors that will affect the overall life-cycle cost of your product. And it is also that part of the process where most errors that lead to market failure can be tracked back to (i.e., misread customer needs, bad ideas, bad market timing, etc.).
I also agree that if you rely on brainstorming sessions to generate ideas you will get more ideas in a directed way than in a non-directed way. For most people it is easier to react to something than to create something out of the blue.
But what I don't understand is why you would limit yourself to brainstorming to generate ideas? And when you do use brainstorming why not allow for both directed and undirected brainstorms? And why keep the process to a select group of "creators" like that?
Idea management should be an ongoing activity that involves not only all employees but also customers, prospects and partners. If you treat idea generation as an episodic process that needs to be turned on and off only when you are ready for a new product, I contend you will miss lots of excellent ideas. And if you limit yourself to the creative types you will miss out as well.
Besides "directed" innovation there is also such a thing as "emergent" innovation – the water cooler type of innovation – which happens when a set of people share/critique/build upon ideas and thoughts with one another. Emergent innovation does not only benefit from the contributions of creative types, it also benefits from good "critics/reviewers", and good "scanners" (those are the folks that can connect seemingly disparate pieces of information), just to name a few.
In the past it would have been too expensive to set up such broad idea gathering and management initiatives. But with the advent of the web, blogs, wikis, rss, discussion boards, tagging, customer-centric application software, etc. - it should be possible to have large, ongoing, multi-channel conversations in the marketplace at a very low cost.
Oh yeah...one more thing. If in the process you end up with workable ideas that do not fit your corporate objectives – sell them!

One rival general manager suggests that the Reds keep left fielder Adam Dunn, exercise his $13 million option and make him this year's Gary Sheffield. The Yankees exercised Sheffield's $13 million option last off-season and traded him to the Tigers for three pitching prospects. Dunn, 28, is 10 years younger than Sheffield. By waiting to trade him until the off-season, the Reds could involve more clubs. Then again, the demand for Dunn's power could get the Reds the deal they want before the July 31 non-waiver deadline . . .
Lot's of trade rumors in this column...good read

Launches & Closures Hedge Funds
Former SAC quant chief Neil Chriss finally opens his fund to outside capital
Hutchin Hill, founded by the former SAC Capital Advisors quant chief, has produced two years of impressive returns.

text: CUMBERLAND ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY'S HOME PAGE Welcome to the official website of the Cumberland Astronomical Society. We are a group of amateur astronomers based in Gallatin, Tennessee. Our focus is to bring astronomy to the general public in the upper middle Tennessee area. We hold several monthly events at local schools, libraries, and parks. Everyone is welcome, so please click the "EVENTS" link for dates and times. To join C.A.S.!!! CLICK HERE FOR A PRINTABLE MEMBERSHIP FORM!!!!! Click here if you prefer PDF Form. Follow Cumberland Astronomical Socitey on Facebook! Meetings will be held in the WARF Building at Vol State Community College until further notice. Public Star Parties are being held at Bledsoe Creek State Park during the summer. In the late fall and winter the Public Star Parties are being held Bledsoe Fort. Please see The Events page for more detailed information. One of the advantages of membership in the Cumberland Astronomical Society is that we are a member of The Astronomical League, which is composed of over 200 astronomy clubs from all over the United States. Several of these member societies sponsor Observing Clubs, which award pins and certificates upon completion. This month, we'll focus on the Double Star Club, which is managed by Nashville's own Mike Benson of Barnard-Seyfert Astronomical Society. The purpose of the Double Star Club is to introduce observers to 100 of the finest double and multiple stars in the heavens. You don't need a large, expensive apochromatic refractor to view the objects on this list since a small refractor, Newtonian reflector, or Schmidt-Cassegrain will do just fine. All objects on this list were originally observed with a three-inch refractor using between 75X and 150X. Again, this program is meant to allow you to enjoy a different aspect of our wonderful hobby, and not to test your equipment. Double star observing can be very forgiving. You don't need the darkest skies, the clearest skies, or even a moonless night to observe many of these objects. Some can be observed from your backyard under moderate light pollution, some can be observed under less than transparent skies, and some can even be observed with the moon up. However, as usual in astronomy, the best results can be obtained under optimum conditions. The point is, always try for the best conditions, but if you don't have them, don't worry about it. You can still enjoy this program. For more information: http://www.astroleague.org/al/obsclubs/dblstar/dblstar1.html

Jan. 31, 2012
Long Beach, Calif. - Long Beach State's women's water polo team is ready to begin the 2012 season, as the No. 16 49ers will host No. 8 San Diego State at Noon on Saturday, February 4 in the Campus Pool.
The 49ers had the bad luck to fall two spots in the polls despite not playing any water polo last weekend; Long Beach State was ranked No. 14 in the preseason poll released in the beginning of January.
Under head coach Gavin Arroyo, the 49ers made a late charge last season and were one win away from the NCAA tournament after reaching the Big West Tournament championship following a pair of thrilling one-goal wins. Arroyo hopes that the experience that the team's younger players received in that run will help offset the loss of a number of starters, including senior Lauren Sieprath, goaltender Kristen Stragier, and defender Krizia Cerda. "I feel like that success will give us a little more individual confidence, which is only going to help us as we move forward," stated Arroyo.
Despite those losses, the 49ers have plenty of experience from an older group. Heather McKeon is the only senior on the team, but the two classes behind her have gotten plenty of experience, including a large junior class of five players who enter the year as upperclassmen. "Our success this season is really going to rely on that group and how they are able perform as the season progresses," said Arroyo.
Additionally, the team will be looking at a number of sophomores to help supplement the team's depth. Julia Garyfallou is the team's leading returning scorer with 34 goals last season, and will be asked to again draw upon her extensive international experience to help carry the load offensively. Kelly Ringel will fill the shoes of Stragier, who graduated with the school's career saves record after spending four years as a starter. Ringel made 26 saves in 2011 as a backup and actually held a better goals against average in her time at net, and should be able to capably serve as the team's netminder. Also returning from that class is sophomore Coriann Snyder, who scored 25 goals in 2011, third among returning team members behind Garyfallou and junior Melissa Matheson.
Long Beach State hosts San Diego State this Saturday, and will then head to the Triton Invitational before returning to the Campus Pool on Saturday, Feb. 18 to face UC San Diego.

The Tswaing Meteorite Crater, set within a nature reserve, might be a bit of a trek from Magalieskruin, but it's well worth the effort. This particular meteorite crater is thought to be one of the best preserved in the world, and you can walk right into its centre. It lies surrounded by a ring of hills, which are actually the walls of the impact left when an asteroid crashed into the earth here some 200 000 years ago - an impact equivalent to roughly 100 atomic bombs similar to that dropped on Hiroshima.

Here's how RW members rated this race (559 votes).
In short: Love it!!!In full: Excellent course - flat and very very fast. Wonderful marshals. Great medal and t-shirt.Date of review: October 19, 2011
In short: Excellent organisation and marshalling.Date of review: October 19, 2011
In short: Super FlatIn full: Very well organised and marshalled course. Super flat course with some very slight gradients. Ideal autumn marathon for an assault on your PB.Date of review: October 19, 2011
In short: PerfectionIn full: Abingdon is a wonderful marathon. Well organised on a fast flat course and a stadium start/finish.For me the goodies at the end are perfect: excellent technical t-shirt, medal, mars bar and water. I wouldn't want anything else.I would be happy to pay a couple of pounds more to have some bottled (small 330ml) water handed out at one point on the 9 mile lap.Many thanks to all involved in the organisation of this terrific event!Date of review: October 18, 2011
In short: Great RaceIn full: A great race and a pb to boot for me. Many thanks to all the organisers, marshalls, those that helped at the water stations and the loud supporters in Preston Road.Very different atmosphere to London as it felt more runner orientated. Everything catered for, good setup at the start and throughout the course, although handing the bagage in could have been speedier. Marshalls offered great support and controlled the traffic well which can be a difficult task with impatient drivers. Goody bag was a bit sparse, personally I would have liked a banana at the end. Date of review: October 18, 2011
In short: Top raceIn full: This marathon really ticks all the boxes for me. Fast,flat course, superb organisation, excellent marshalling and great weather :-) Not quite as scenic as I expected (but perhaps that was just me), but really would recommend this to any potential marathon runner.Date of review: October 18, 2011
Date of review: October 18, 2011
In short: Another awesome event. Thanks and congratulations to all involved.In full: For me, Abingdon marathon exemplifies everything that is best about running. A jewel in the UK's marathon crown. Do it do it do it.Date of review: October 18, 2011
In short: Just a brilliant dayIn full: No wonder that this Marathon is a favourite and entries close within days. The organisation is exceptional and they even arranged for the weather to be cool. still and dry with the sun only coming out near the end! The only downside is the double passage through an industrial estate but if this is the cost of keeping the flat, fast course so be it. The marshalls were most supportive and made up for the small crowds by the intense enthiusiasm and noise that they generated. Well done Abingdon, more of this please.Date of review: October 18, 2011
In short: Excellent organisation, marshalling and supportIn full: I can only agree with the previous comments. Mention must be made of the writing on the pavement at around mile 15 - Paula, Haile, etc - very inspiring. I did this marathon 29 years ago and had forgotten the delight of Didcot Power Station (twice).Date of review: October 18, 2011

Conversion is not a matter of a moment or a year, (it) is a commitment that lasts a lifetime. Who among us can be assumed not to be a sinner? No one. The Apostle John writes: "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:8-9)."

VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - As a part of a program called "24 Hours for the Lord" where Churches throughout Rome stayed open around the clock so the faithful could go to confession , Pope Francis led a penance service in St. Peters on Friday.
His beautiful action of confessing his own sins in public, to one of the priests present, has captured the hearts of millions around the globe. He delivered a beautiful homily which we are pleased to present in full below for our readers around the globe:
Homily of Pope Francis at Penance Service
In the period of Lent, the Church, in the name of God, renews the call to conversion. It is the call to change one's life. Conversion is not a matter of a moment or a year, (it) is a commitment that lasts a lifetime. Who among us can be assumed not to be a sinner? No one.
The Apostle John writes: "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:8-9)." This is what happens in our celebration and throughout this day of penance. The Word of God we have heard introduces us to two essential elements of the Christian life.
The first [is]: put on the new man. The new man, "created according to God (Eph 4:24)," is born in Baptism, where one receives the very life of God, which makes us His sons and incorporates us into Christ and his Church.
This new life allows one to look at reality with different eyes, without being distracted by things that do not matter and cannot last long. For this we are called to abandon sinful behavior and fix our gaze on that, which is essential. "Man is more precious for what he is than for what he has. (Gaudium et Spes, 35)"
Behold the difference between the life deformed by sin and the life illumined by grace. From the heart of the man renewed according to God come good behaviors: always to speak with truth and avoid any lie; to steal not, but rather to share what you have with others; especially with those in need; not to give in to anger, resentment and revenge, but to be gentle, magnanimous and ready to forgive; not to fall into backbiting that ruins people's good name, but to look more rather on each person's positive side.
The second factor [is]: Remain in my love. The love of Jesus Christ lasts forever, will never end because it is the very life of God. This love conquers sin and gives strength to get up and start anew, because with pardon the heart is renewed and rejuvenated.
Our Father never tires of loving and His eyes did not grow heavy in looking at the way home, to see if his Son who left and was lost will return. And this Father does not tire of loving even His other son, who, though he remains ever in the house with Him, nevertheless does not take part in His mercy, His compassion.
God is not only the source of love, but in Jesus Christ calls us to imitate his own way of loving: "As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. (Jn 13:34)" To the extent that Christians live this love, they become credible disciples of Christ in the world. Love cannot stand to remain locked up in itself. By its very nature [Love] is open, it spreads and is fruitful, [it] always generates new love.
Dear brothers and sisters, after this celebration, many of you will make yourselves missionaries to the experience of reconciliation with God. "24 hours for the Lord" is an initiative in which many dioceses all over the world are participating. To everyone you meet, you will communicate the joy of receiving the Father's forgiveness and regaining full friendship with Him.
The one who experiences the mercy of God, is driven to be the creator of mercy among the poor and the least. In these "littlest brothers and sisters" Jesus waits for us (cf. Mt 25:40). Let us go to meet them! And we will celebrate Easter in the joy of God!

My good friend Thomas Krumenacker has just published a new gallery in his website with fantastic images from his recent trip to Israel. Most were taken during the festival week, and I had the privilege to disturb Thomas several times with phone calls while he was trying to get these shots. I like especially the Temminck's Lark take-off shot - one of the best I've ever seen!

Sister Carrie: a Novel
- Author: Dreiser Theodore
- Genre: Classics
Theodor Dreiser published his novel-challenge in the 1900's. It is a story of 18-year-old girl who moves from her native country to Chicago and becomes there a woman maintained by a man as his mistress. This is because of that it becomes prohibited. The publisher was afraid to release the work as it was, so he changed something in it. After years the masterpiece by Dreiser can be read as it was planned originally.
The novel shows how acute, wise and accurate the author was in his views. He was perhaps the first to depict a woman - crafty, with the behavior beyond the moral norms, with the limited freedom of actions. For sanctimonious America of 19th century it was like ribaldry. Dreiser shows how dangerous for every human being hesitating in finding one's position in life, not deciding and not making own choice; and how dangerous waiting for the fate's sign and not doing anything by oneself. Such choices in the book leads it's characters to the end or to the glory, to the happiness or to the abyss. This masterpiece is full of detailed analysis of the heroes, deep immersion into their psychology. Being followed for the author through all this plot turns attentive reader will be rewarded by the author's talent to reflect the deep psychology of the images.

St. Elmo
- Author: Evans Augusta Jane
- Genre: History
This book that narrates about the course of life of Edna Earl from her birth till she grows up may be called a classical book of the Victorian epoch. The main character Edna Earl has strong moral values and believes that everyone should respect the norms of the society and the way of life. She is also a very strong person with a strong core inside. It results into spiritual reawakening of St. Elmo. At first he was a miserable person who led an ordinary life containing all human vices. But after meeting Edna Earl he changes a lot and becomes spiritual and honorable person with a quit wit. Such a miracle happens due to this wonderful woman. The author Augusta Jane Evans describes such a transformation very skillfully showing a great knowledge of human nature and psychology. Excerpt from book: seasons past, has conducted theatres throughout the northern tier of cities, and he produced "St Elmo" in Windsor, Ont., to secure the British copyrights, on the afternoon of the very evening that Mr. Holcomb's first performance opened at Richmond, Va. "St. Elmo " marks Mr. Glaser's debut as a producing manager, and he is not only presenting the play as a feature of his own repertory, but has organized several touring companies to give the duplicate productions all over the country. Mr. Glaser appeared in the title role at the Academy of Music, in New York, supported by Miss Fay Courtenay, the original "Edna Earle," and a specially selected cast, recruited from all the Glaser organizations. Every production sent out under the direction of Mr. Glaser has been painted from the original models, while the furniture and costuming of the quaint period "Befo1 the wah" are exactly the same in all cases. The companies, too, have been selected with a view to giving the best possible ensemble performance, with no star save "St. Elmo." In reality it is a "life-sized illustrated edition " of the story, condensed and adapted for dramatic effect; and all reports of the play proclaim it the strongest spiritual drama since the days of " The Christian," "Ben Hur," or "The Sign of the Cross." VAUGHAN GLASER January 3, 1910. chapter{Section 4ST. ELMO. CHAPTER L "HE stood and measured the earth: and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow."

This dress is a big deal. Because I swear I've looked at thousands of gowns in the ten years that I've been writing this blog and this gown just definitely makes the list for one of the prettiest I've ever seen. Definitely top five. And the bride just happen to choose the most gorgeous bridesmaids dresses EVER (Jenny Yoo, obvi) to compliment her chic, timeless with a twist style. With florals by Kehoe Designs, coordination by Reva Nathan, photography by Emilia Jane and cinema by Vibrant Film, this wedding is everything. Everything. And I didn't even get to the ice cream bar. Click here to see the whole she-bang.
From the Bride…Scott and I met in Chicago and were, at first, just friends. Three years after meeting, when the timing was right, our friendship became something more and we started dating. When we decided to get married two years later we didn't know where we wanted the celebration to be held, but knew we wanted something unique. After exploring many ideas which included a family farm in Texas, Italy, Napa and even on board a vintage train, we opted for Chicago, the city where we lived and loved so much. Scott and I were so excited to host our friends and family in The Windy City which truly shines in the summer. We kicked off the weekend with all guests on a private Architectural Boat Tour, one of our favorite activities for out of town guests.
For our wedding ceremony, The Peninsula Hotel's rooftop terrace was the most perfect setting which felt like garden of white florals and green succulents (thanks to Kehoe Designs) that was dropped in the middle of the city surrounded by skyscrapers. Though the attire was black-tie, the evening was relaxed and casual, but still elegant. Our good friend served as officiant and my grandparents read the Jewish traditions which we incorporated into our intimate ceremony.
After the ceremony, the terrace quickly transformed into cocktail hour where guests dined on dim sum, a homage to our first official date in Chinatown, before entering the ballroom for dinner and dancing. We wanted the evening to feel fun and personal. The fun was provided by Ken Arlen Orchestra which had guests on their feet all night with the last ones leaving at 4 AM. We personalized the night with custom candles in lieu of place cards, my favorite hometown ice cream Custard Cup, a Texas themed grooms cake from Bite Sized Baker, and late night Chicago style deep dish pizza and whiskey bar – the groom's favorite. The night was captured perfectly by Emilia Jane Photography and John Hoel Videography. Guests left with a fortune cookie to finish off their dim sum which read, "A hangover is in your immediate future.

Glimrende beliggenhet
Svært bra service
Close proximity to shopping any location to meet our needs. Plumbing was less than ideal but functional and lighting receptacles not in working order
A nice relaxing stay Bartender was away from the bar more than present. Bar wasn't busy so we couldn't understand why she left guests standing around waiting.
Very friendly staff, rooms clean and good location. A little loud the weekend I was in
Full side bed instead of Queen side, no microwave, no fridge inconvenience fir family stay
The room was great . However we come in late and went to bed and the mattress was terrible. I complained about it but the hotel was full . The manager checked it out and was in agreement and said there would be no charge for the room so please reply and credit card for refund
Quick check in and staff was very friendly. Across from vending machine.
Clean and nice staff. The common areas of the hotel are very nice and luxurious Beds are small and uncomfortable. For the price was hoping for two queen beds not two double beds. In addition there was someone smoking in a room near ours and it smelled very bad. Lastly the curtains don't close and we were on the side with the night spotlights and neon lights. Made our room very bright and hard to sleep
Beds very hard. Requested. King and got two doubles
Nice stay Tweakers everywhere.
The staff is friendly and the rooms are always so nice . I didn't like the barking dog in the hallway lol
We loved the design and the modern look. Love the stripes. Very comfortable and they let us check out at 2pm. I will definitely be staying there again.
I liked that neither the bed nor the tv were against a shared wall, resulting in a quieter space than most hotels offer. Everything was visually appealing and very clean, all staff was friendly. Although there is no complimentary breakfast, the choices available for breakfast are much better than I've seen on continental breakfast bars. Shower was fantastic! The lighting in the room was kind of strange. One light switch by the door controlled the "front" half of the room (bathroom), the other switch by the door controlled the"back" half (bed). With a large, unnecessary frosted window between the bathroom and the bedroom - while pretty - any light from either area spills heavily into the other. Being by myself, that wasn't a big concern, but if someone were with me, I feel that would be a rather annoying problem. I would prefer if there were a small microwave in the room (since there was a mini fridge) as opposed to a security safe. I would like more hooks/shelves in the bathroom to place clothing or other necessities.
nice room, comfortable bed, clean, modern decor! wish i could have enjoyed it more but my GF decided to over do it at the open bar and went bat $h!t crazy!! nothing major but your all reading this for the cons so here they are if Im being picky -no mini fridge, no ice machine on our floor.... front desk gladly filled my ice bucket! -bar didnt open until 5pm..... probably normal hours for a hotel bar ,but the wedding started at 5 so my pre ceremony cocktail had to come in the form of a gas station brown bag! - slow elevators and no stairs near my room - probably the worst thing was the shower door seals were bad and the bathroom floor was completely soaked before I noticed..... not major, probably should have mentioned it to the desk but I forgot as I had plenty of towels to soak it up!!! would stay again
Modern facility, convenient to restaurants, good value for money music in elevators is a bit loud, Bar closed at 10 pm......too early should stay open till midnight.
I stayed in a room with a king that was super comfy! The bar was nice and overall I had a nice stay. The only compliant I have is that a couple of the towels/wash cloths had a dingy tint to them like they hadn't been fully cleaned. But really, other than that, no problems.
Bed was comfy, has a modern feel to the room. It's slightly difficult to get to this location
I was very upset with you because I wanted Aloft downtown Tulsa. Just wrote what I thought was the con #. And found out no it was for the other Aloft Paid twice. Not a happy camper. Tulsa downtown Aloft is the very best beds and extremely quiet. the one way streets and the unhelpful front desk with directions.
Good location, nice staff. The rooms were not very clean, had a wet spot in our floor by the bed. You could see where they had tried to fix some drywall and did not cover it up well. You could also hear every noise all night long. You could hear other guest doors slamming as well as the ac kicking on in the next room.
The bar was great. The staff was helpful. We were close to the elevator. So inter morning the noise woke me up. Other then that it was great!
The staff was most courteous and helpful. I do recommend their spg program and the sauna. The rooms are a bit small, it seemed like I was in a casino.
Delicious cookies and nice pool for the kids!
The front desk staff was very nice to work with. She was very happy to have us in the property. Our room was clean. The beds were comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. The location was central to most of Tulsa because it was close to I-44. They gave all of us a warm cookie and a cold bottle of water when we checked in. The in room coffee was even delicious. I didn't count off for this, but I would have liked to have a refrigerator and a microwave in the room.
great location good food, staff, amenities Needs some updating. Hallways a little shabby. Need new paint. Some mold in bathroom. Pool area, sauna, really need to be cleaned
Beds was comfortable. Room was filthy, there was a big sticky spot on the carpet at the foot of the bed that you had to walk through every time you moved in the room. No tv remote.
Everything was great, nice hotel, great value for the price, very helpful, we're allowed to check-in hours early, helped a lot. Pillows are horrible. All feather down and hard. Bring your own, glad I did.
Great location In Tulsa and Marriott service was very reliable. Hotel is really starting to show its age. Did not think that the air conditioner is working as well as it should and room felt a little rundown.
I like the amenities the hotel offered and it was quit appealing to the eye as well. I came to relax with my husband after a long work week. We spent all week around a lot of noisy and rambunctious kids, so we were hoping to escape that. This wasn't the case, unfortunately. I was very excited to see that the pool/hot tub were open 24 hours, I arrived at the pool around 12am. I had a lot of problems with my key card and my husband had to run back to the front desk to get it fixed 3 times, leaving me to stand there in the hallway and wait. Once we finally got into the pool area there was a lady there with her very hyper and loud 3 year old who was jumping from the pool to the hot tub. I stood there and waited to get in the hot tub hoping she would get the hint that her child was making it impossible to even get in without being splashed. I decided to just get in anyways and she proceeded to let her child just back and forth and even let her mall my husband and I. Later in our room we found that the food and drink we had put in the fridge hadn't even been kept cold. The refrigerator was totally hot! To top it all off I had jewelry (a white gold bracelet with blue footprint links) stolen wile I was there and the staff was less than eager to help me track it down. I will definitely never stay at this hotel again and I don't suggest it unless your trip is entirely centered around family. This is not a romantic/adult getaway at all, despite the spa and high end appearances and amenities.
I loved at the pool with on the third floor which is where my room was... It was also open 24 hours to my best friend and I got to go for a swim at 3 a.m. and act silly like we were dolphins and giggle like we were kids! no free breakfast which was a real bummer because I could not afford $16 for breakfast. also no smoking rooms available
The pool, the lounge, the back patio area, and the staff. The sofa-bed (it made my back hurt for several days) and the hot tub (out of order).
The website said there was a continental breakfast and that was a lie. The restaurant/bar was never open. Having a small child that made it difficult when she was hungry we had to always go out to eat and she just wanted to stay in.
Mostly everything was great. If a worker sees you they greet you. The bed was very comfortable and the room was great. The location is right by the mall so it's an awesome location. It is also a very quiet location. Everywhere we looked online said there was continental breakfast however, there was not. Even when we checked in they said there was continental breakfast so we were very upset when we found out that wasn't true the next morning. The pool was small so not many people were able to get in it. There was a place where they could have a fire which would have been a great view. I get that it was hot outside but having the firepit lit outside would have looked nice.
This hotel was very clean. My wife and I booked our hotel through Kayak for our anniversary. It was a disaster trying to check in upon arrival. It took us nearly an hour to help the desk clerk understand that we didn't need to pay for our room twice because it was already paid for through Kayak. I showed the desk clerk my receipt and confirmation a dozen time, yet he insisted on swiping my card over and over. Due to this lengthy check in we were late to dinner and missed our reservation. We are extremely dissapointed.
The layout of the room and the service. Hotel was clean and staff was friendly and accommodating. The hotel had no record of our reservation.
the towels and sheets were clean the toilet flushed the breakfast was horrible the wifi dropped continually the shower was very poor the coffee, when you could find any was terrible the mattress was quite shot
Clean rooms, nice staff, nice pool, great location Breakfast was atrocious and gave my family food poisoning. Beds were not very comfortable at all. Sofa bed was better then the real beds. Pillows were like not even having one no matter how many I used. Ice machines were all broken except for one on the 3rd floor. Refrigerator didn't work very well.
Everything There was nothing that we were not happy with.
Lots of shopping and restaurants close by. Only a few minuets from downtown. Excellent breakfast setup. Pool needed to be skimmed
Hotel has a newer updated feel. Clean, decent staff, and the location is near the mall. Lots of food options near. The bed was horrible. I've slept on nicer beds a cheaper hotels. This mattress was broken or bend or something... there was a solid rail or something running from foot to head on the left side that made you feel as if you were trying to sleep on a 2x4.
As soon as we pulled up to the hotel, we went in and signed in. They were very friendly and welcoming. They treated us like friends, not just guests. Anytime we had questions about anything at all, they were willing and ready to answer. The rooms were very clean and very modern. The beds were truly amazing to sleep on. Most people don't like hotel beds, but these were wonderful! They kept plenty of towels in the bathrooms and everything was not sparse. The breakfast the next morning was delicious. There was so much to choose from and it was all cooked to perfection! That just automatically gave everyone a awesome start to their day. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area. It's very close to many different stores and restaurants. I'll stay there anytime I need a hotel in that area!
The staff was very professional, helpful and friendly. The rooms were new, modern and clean.
The Fairfield Inn was an excellent place to stay in Tulsa. The facility was spotless, the staff accommodating and friendly, and the breakfast was yummy. We couldn't have been happier with the experience at Fairfield.
If you are unfamiliar with Tulsa and in particular the southeast region I would advise you to get a map and study it for a while and after familiarizing yourself you should do just fine as the city is laid out fairly simply. I didn't and even with a GPS in the beginning I had trouble finding this hotel. It is nestled in a corner of several intersecting highways and is off the road a little ways. After finding it we were well pleased with our accomodations. The hotel is about a year old so everything is as modern as could be. The room was spacious, clean and neat with wired and wireless internet, wide screen TV and comfortable beds. We definitely would stay here again if near the Tulsa area.
Stayed at the Fairfield Inn & Suites Tulsa OK for a concert at the Spirit Bank Event Center in Bixby OK. Hotel was 3 miles for the Spirit Bank Event Center and was great. Breakfast was great with, scrambled eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy. (All Free) The hotel Staff was the best out of all the 200+ Marriotts I have stayed. We will for sure be back in Tulsa to stay at the Brand New Fairfield Inn & Suites in Tulsa OK
worked for what we needed. limited staff. clean room
This hotel was clean and nice. The only problem was an air conditioning unit that rattled loudly. After pushing a chair against it all was well.
I loved staying here. It was very clean and I loved the hot breakfast in the morning. I would totaly stay here again.
I just wanted to share my experience at the Fairfield Inn in Tulsa, Ok. We do not travel a lot, but I sure picked a fabulous hotel to stay at. The staff was great, the check in and check out process went smooth, and most of all we were able to be directly across the street from Southcrest hospital visiting a very sick relative (very convenient). We would consider booking at the hotel again if we are ever in Tulsa. Thanks angain from California residents PS: The breakfast is great!
The Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott South in Tulsa OK is the best hotel we have stayed in out of 300 + Marriott hotels. The staff was warm and welcoming and the rooms were bright, fresh, and clean. The Free breakfast is not like any other Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott, it comes with your room and has scrambled eggs, sausage links, biscuits and gravy, omelets, waffles and I could go on and on. We will for sure be staying here everytime we are in Tulsa OK. If your every in Tulsa OK make sure to stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott South Tulsa OK.
Room was very spacious and clean. Totally remodeled and extremely helpful and friendly staff.
Good hotel and friendly staff. My only complaint was that there was no available plug in for my phone/alarm next to the bed (just a pet peeve). Overall this hotel is great.
This is an easy in & out, friendly, easy to find, place to stay. Comfortable and close to conveniences yet still quiet and restful.
The staff was very friendly. The room we stayed in had been just been remodeled. The pool was freezing and our children didn't swim because of that. Our bathroom door would not stay shut all of the way.
Typical Hampton Hamptons prices are beginning to climb a little, but great stay
Convenience, cleanliness Bathroom sink was clogged and the shower door broken. Went down for breakfast and there wasn't much food available with an hour to go before they were done serving. Decided to go elsewhere rather than wait even though breakfast is one of the reasons we chose to stay there. Also not happy that because we prepaid and booked through someone other than Hampton / Hilton, we do not get our Hilton Honors points which doesn't make sense since Hampton/Hilton is paid for us to stay there.
Cleanliness. Friendliness and professionalism of staff.
New as of April 2010; ultramodern, conveniently located, well designed and appointed, very clean and comfortable none
Love the way you had the temperature it was nice and quiet The second light in the bathroom was out other than that it was great
When I check in that clerk was amazing she printed us maps and visited with us and greeted us every time she saw us she said something to us . None of the cleks did or other staff did. My AC did NOT work in my room and the AC unit itself was filthy. So I had to stay all weekend with no AC in Oklahoma. It was SO HOT. They saw us bringing fans up and just looked at us and never said a word. We asked for extra towels twice never got them. They came to get our dirty towels and said they would wash them and bring them back. Ummm weird why not just give me some clean ones. Breakfast cost $10 and was not worth $10, I travel ALOT and stay in a lot of hotels. An I was really disappointed in this one. My friend left an item in the room and they contacted house keeping they said they didn't see it we knew exactly where it was just shows they DONT CLEAN! It was exactly where we said it was and the desk clerk found it thank goodness. Don't think I will stay here again
Staff were pleasant, attentive, and helpful. Full service bar is a nice amenity in this category. The room was dark with old fluorescent light bulbs- made the room look like a 1980s high school gym. The bed was comfortable but had HAIR all in the sheets and the ice bucket was full of old moldy water. Worst of all, there was feces on the toilet seat and hair all over the bathroom. For that one reason alone, I would NEVER stay here again.
Soft bed, good location Sheets seemed clean but were stained with blood--including a pillowcase. Headboard was splattered with God-knows-what. Carpet in front of cooling unit was soaked. Pool was murky. Hot tub was yellow. Really should've just left when saw the state of things but was tired from the journey.
Free suite upgrade. Very nice hotel. Was above all expectations.
Staff was friendly and room was clean. The beds were horribly too hard. It felt like was sleeping on concrete. Pillows were bad too... I had to go to the chiropractor after sleeping on the bed...
You can walk to food/entertainment/bank, it's in Bixby but 1 mile to the turnpike and Hwy 169, worth every penny, breakfast is healthy and fresh with lots of options.

JACK RYAN Starring Chris Pine & Kenneth Branagh Set for Christmas Day 2013 Release
Published: August 27, 2012 - 12:14pm
The upcoming and much delayed film, which until recently was in development under the working Moscow, will feature the return to the big screen of Tom Clancy's most famous character.
Starring Chris Pine (Star Trek) in the title role, Jack Ryan is the latest film to feature author Clancy's popular character who has previously played by Alec Baldwin in The Hunt for Red October, Harrison Ford in Clear and Present Danger and Patriot Games and Ben Affleck in The Sum of All Fears.
The film will follow Ryan, a former Marine turned financial analyst living in Moscow who uncovers a terrorist plot to devalue American currency and thus destroy the U.S. economy masterminded by Viktor Stazov, a financial wiz in league with the Russian government.
Paramount Pictures has now established Jack Ryan's theatrical release date on Christmas Day, December 25th, 2013.
Kenneth Branagh, director of Marvel's Thor and recent star of My Week With Marilyn, has been tapped to direct Jack Ryan a as well as playing it's villain. Keira Knightley will play Jack's wife Cathy. James Earl Jones is said to have a cameo as Admiral Greer. Kevin Costner has signed on for the role of CIA Agent William Harper, the man who recruits and mentors Ryan as well as John Clark -- the main character in director Christopher McQuarrie's upcoming film Without Remorse. Harper will serve to tie the Jack and Clark franchises together similar to how Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury links Marvel Studios' films pre-Avengers. Chris Pine's This Means War co-star Tom Hardy is being pursued for the role of Clark.
