"We recently had a 2 night stay at the Oxford Suites and it was just an excellent & relaxing stay. The room was huge with a separate sitting room with a working sofa bed and chair, a medium sized dining table, lots of cabinets & storage spaces, 2 Large TVs, updated bathroom with a rainfall shower head, comfortable beds and pillows. During check-in, we were given tickets redeemable at the cantina for a complimentary drink ( alcoholic & non alcoholic) and an appetizer for each night of stay. I got a Shirley Temple. The bartender was courteous and was a real pro, even when the place got full because there was a baseball game that night. They also serve hot breakfast, cereals, The amenities were great as well. There’s a fitness area that stays open late, a swimming pool, 2 jacuzzis, large picnic areas, a dog run. There’s also parking areas around the property so you can actually park close to your room. The staff we met were all courteous - from the front desk, the kitchen, room attendants and the other ancillary workers."
