This is the most Amazingly Inn we've ad the pleasure of staying. The Housekeepers are on point,this morning i put out dirty towels and 5mins later came knock on door New Fresh towels! No other inn or hotel does it like this place...If i can give 10 STARS i most definately would.. Most of all No RESIDENTIALLY CHALLENGED individuals walking around the property..BIG PLUS!! OASIS IS WHERE YOU WANNA!!!!
This motel was nice and clean. My boyfriend and I are from the Bay area and when we arrived the room was clean, staff was friendly, and the parking was super convenient. We agreed every time we go back to Santa Barbara we're getting a room there again.
It’s a clean and there is a gelsons market across the street plus other places to shop. Clean pool I wish they had a jacuzzi for the evening use and it would be nice if they provided a continental breakfast but they had some decent coffee in the check in area. Would I recommend this place YES!! Would I stay here again YES.
Rooms are beautiful and extremely clean (I think this building was renovated). This is now my fave on the strip here in SB. What a great value. Thank you for a lovely stay.
We're just winding up a four day stay at the Oasis. I was a little concerned when we drove in because the parking lot is in very poor shape. Plus the check in wasn't particularly friendly or informative. But after that everything has been very positive. Our room is large and comfortable with air conditioning. We have a big separate kitchen with room for a large table, ideal for computer set up. Big TV, comfortable beds, a really nice bathroom with a deep tub. The linen and terry are good quality and the housekeeping is excellent. Suggestion: the bathroom needs hooks to hang things on. We've used the pool which is sparkly clean and has good pool furniture. Plus there's a bbq with charcoal and lighter fluid, vending machines and an ice machine. The property obviously gets good routine care and maintenance. The value for the money at the Oasis compared to the Santa Barbara market is terrific. We will definitely stay here again.
Quaint, charming spot with a nice garden area, pool, and plenty of parking. Staff was very courteous and helpful, and gave us a great suggestion for dinner, Los Agaves. The room was clean, comfortable, with a good bed, good shower, and good TV. Easy on the wallet, too.
Cute traditional motel with very well kept grounds, a pool, and simple clean rooms. About 12 minutes from the waterfront and 6 minutes to the mission.
Stayed 2 nights. Picked Santa Barbara as, following a longish flight from UK, it was as far as I wanted to drive. Picked this motel on price. Accomodation ok, it was clean, air conditioner was efficient, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Plenty of parking. Location was a big plus for my needs. Plenty of cafes / resteraunts nearby. Only 12 minutes from downtown on local bus. Would use again
