Check in staff was friendly but the room was dirty and in need of repairs. The floor was broken in several places, the toilet roll holder was broken, the mismatched furniture looked like it was pieced together from thrift shops. The bathroom was dirty with hairs in the tub and on the floor and I squashed at least 5 ants before I even used the toilet. For the same price, I switched to a different motel down the street that was clean and included breakfast.

Overall stay was fine, room service was good with friendly maids ( they spoke some English). Reasonable price. Easy access to restaurants and shopping. Their soap could be of better quality. Lot better than a Motel 6! But no breakfast or restaurant on site. Has a pool!

The oak motel is an older bare Bones motor inn but the Price is Right it's impeccably clean and though it's a bit on the older side everything works so if you need a place to stay and you don't need fancy this is a great place
