"We had a great 1 night stay at this hotel. My child enjoyed the heated pool. The grounds were cute and had lots of places to sit and relax. Our room was clean and the beds comfortable. The bathroom was nice as well. I accidentally left my Ipad in the room when we checked out. I called about it the next day and the manager mailed it back to me that day! I couldn't have asked for more helpful staff. We already have more stays booked to visit our daughter at UCSB. Thank you Oasis Inn & Suites!"
