Timothy

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I chose to stay here because I had heard good things about the resort and my wife and I were looking for a close getaway. My check-in and checkout were smooth. The desk staff were always present, friendly and helpful. The public areas of the property were mostly in good condition, but our room clearly was falling into disrepair. The other negative was that on our way to breakfast in the morning there were construction guys swapping out the light fixtures so they had there tools all across the steps leading down to the front desk. I was disappointed in the condition of the bathroom. The toilet was left dirty even after housekeeping 'cleaned'. The inside door frame paint was peeling

Really bad, avoid this place, it's not like it used to be: 1. old frappucino in fridge from prior guest (or prior prior, who knows?) 2. beetle in room flying around 3. refused to provide towels or service room as it had not been 3 days yet (never mind its not covid any more). 4. Even though their own sign said "service every 3 days but if you'd like you can request it every day". When I pointed that out, after their second refusal, they said, "yeah, that sign is wrong." Worse than all that is the lack of concern of the staff. Each issue was met with basically, "yeah, that's just the way it is." Staff looked disinterested, bored, and not what I'd expect here, nor what I experienced a year ago. They have forgotten they are in hospitality business.

Perfect Stay for Sister Getaway
My sister said she loved staying at Oakwood because she feels like she's on vacation there. The Inn is warm and welcoming, the staff is very accomodating. We loved the fire in the fireplace, the fall decorations,the proximity to the lobby Starbucks!
