Love the City Oasis Inn and so do our dogs. What a privilege to be able to spend a night with our pet kids here. Rooms exceptionally clean, great location. Can't say enough!

“Didn't live up to reviews...A real disappointment.... :(”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

I travel frequently for work and had great expectations after reading all the great reviews...
Unfortunately it didn't live up to the reviews. I stayed for 4 days and found both the room and the bathroom to be disappointingly small. I guess in fairness if u were staying for only one night , it probably would not have been a problem but as my stay was longer I found the room size quite claustrophobic. The bathroom in particular was tiny ( I am only small in size but even I found it difficult to dress while standing in bathroom after a shower without hitting walls and/or cabinet. )
I missed having power points near the bedside tables. A single narrow bench meant that I could not have work area with computer set up and have a space to eat, which forced me to use the bed as table for eating..
I picked this hotel as it offered room service , however during my stay the restaurant/room service was cancelled 5 min before it was due to start at 6. I found this very frustrating as the location of this hotel means I then had to drive to go find somewhere to eat. As a shift worker this isn't optimal.
Overall while this hotel was clean, I wouldn't return as the other issues I found would only frustrate....

Thanks you for your recent review.
I am so disappointed that you did not enjoy the room type booked.
We have a number of different room types and sizes at City Oasis.
Our executive rooms have a larger floor area than our standard rooms and I am sure one of the 4 star executive rooms would have been appropriate for you.
If ever you are not satisfied with the choice of room type please let us know as soon as you check in and we will always try and find the appropriate room for you.
If you are looking for a larger room with queen size beds and bathrooms that have a bath as well as shower the 4 star rooms are the way to go.
On the other hand the 3.5 star rooms are well suited if you are wanting to save some dollars. They are equipped with double bed, ensuite with shower and toilet facilities. Both room types have very quiet and powerful split system air conditioners (a welcome bonus in the tropics).

Our cafe is open most nights but during our quiet months we may close some weekend nights. I am sorry you were inconvenienced by this.

Thank you for giving us the thumbs up on our cleanliness we really work hard at keeping our property in great shape.
Regards
Brendan
