For all you ladies in my area (and those who like to travel), I thought I'd make you aware of a fun getaway place.
The Habana Inn in Oklahoma City is a gay hotel, run by gays for gays, where CDs are more than welcome. I have spent a night there and hope to spend a whole weekend there before long.
The Habana is located in a small gay district with several clubs and eateries. The hotel has two swimming pools, a good restaurant, a gift shop, a piano bar and two gay clubs.
The Copa is a dance club with a gay and lesbian crowd, and male dancers and a few CDs the night I was there. The Finish Line is a country dance club, lots of gay cowboys (now that's a surreal sight). The piano bar (Lido) has drag shows on Saturday night. The restaurant (Gushers) serves until 3 am on weekends and a great breakfast buffet in the mornings. There are no cover charges at the clubs.
The hotel is nice but a little dated, the rooms not lavish but spacious and nice enough, with rates from $40 to $100. In some sections around the pools non-guest gays cruise the walkways at night, but if you don't care for that sort of thing you can ask for a room in the main building. (In fact, the desk clerk asked me if I wanted "cruisey" or "non-cruisey".
With a little preparation it's possible to spend the whole weekend without ever leaving the hotel. You can roam anywhere on the premises en femme and other clubs are within safe walking distance. I enjoyed taking a walk around the pools at midday and received a few wolf whistles. I especially enjoyed the piano bar and restaurant.
Needless to say, going there with a girlfriend would be such fun, so if you're interested ...
