"We recently had a 2 night stay at the Oxford Suites and it was just an excellent & relaxing stay. The room was huge with a separate sitting room with a working sofa bed and chair, a medium sized dining table, lots of cabinets & storage spaces, 2 Large TVs, updated bathroom with a rainfall shower head, comfortable beds and pillows. During check-in, we were given tickets redeemable at the cantina for a complimentary drink ( alcoholic & non alcoholic) and an appetizer for each night of stay. I got a Shirley Temple. The bartender was courteous and was a real pro, even when the place got full because there was a baseball game that night. They also serve hot breakfast, cereals, The amenities were great as well. There’s a fitness area that stays open late, a swimming pool, 2 jacuzzis, large picnic areas, a dog run. There’s also parking areas around the property so you can actually park close to your room. The staff we met were all courteous - from the front desk, the kitchen, room attendants and the other ancillary workers."

"Everything was wonderful, except the hostess at the roof top restaurant refused to let us have dinner because the surfers were coming and there woukd not be any room for us. It was my Birthday and we were celebrating with our daughter and granddaughter, we felt so dismissed and she basically told us to go the bar and order there. We noticed she allowing othes into the dining area and bringing them blankets. My husband is a dialysis patient and was cold, so we ordered chicken wings and headed back to our room early. The front desk was very helpful the forgot to give the breakfast tickets, but they call us later that evening for us to pick them up.
