Loved my stay at the Oasis Hotel. The owner and staff were super welcoming and really made me feel at home. They went out of their way with great local recommendations and helped with reservations. The room was spotless with a great view, and having laundry and breakfast available was a big plus. Highly recommend—would definitely stay here again.

It was a quiet place with great views away from the hustle and bustle. Didn’t hear any helicopters! Angela and staff were friendly and helpful to make our stay very pleasant. The continental breakfast was very pleasant with a coffee machine with various choices, teas, juice and cereals and yogurt. Small platter of ham, cheese and hard boiled eggs was offered along with a small pastry. A great place to stay for a couple of days.
