Disliked: Room comfort
I have never been so mad at a hotel. I paid for a room that was shown in the picture, turned out it wasn’t the same room at all, also the TV didn’t work and we tried to lower the temperature and it went down one degree all night. The person at check out said “well you don’t necessarily get the room in the picture” and I can put in a ticket for the TV but other than that you’ll have to talk to a manager (who was not there.) This was my first trip with my guest and it ruined my stay and therefore both of ours.

It was an awesome trip with excellent customer service. My issue was with Hotels.com and not having me registered to stay at the hotel. Luckily they had available rooms.

We've stayed at Oakwood a few times and it's always very clean, comfortable and well kept. However, this time we noticed that the air vent on our room was rusty and the flooring was coming loose and made funky slapping noises as we walked around our room. It seems like upkeep has gone a little downhill lately. That's sad to see because we really like staying here.

If you go in the early spring time and it by chance gets hot they do not turn air-conditioning on AT ALL until they shut down boiler system. Thats what we were told. Rooms were HOT at night.
