"No complaints to fuss about. Smooth check in, tidy room, good location. Love the physical information guides, menu, pen & pad!
Great Happy Hour, Tasty Espresso Martini! (even with the extra ice). Minor disruption during drink service as another customer started to create a scene, causing some to take and finish their dinner on the outside tables due to the rising tension. Not entirely sure what the problem was but the young staff member handled the situation professionally while also still delivering our drinks in a timely manner. Great effort, especially with the already high demand of orders, thank you!
No cooking pan provided in room and only 1 glass for 2 people - we made do.
Mediocre breakfast buffet; no sauce other than jam, honey or butter, and could tell it all had been sitting untouched/monitored or refilled for some time with at least an hour remaining for breakfast service. Some tables to be cleared from previous diners sat a little longer than expected.
With only this one experience at Oaks to reference, seeing 1-2 staff, I assume always running smoothly with staff shortage can be tough. Attentive and friendly food & beverage staff, checking and fullfilling guests requests such as barista made coffee (tea and coffee available to make self - no soy milk)
Must have been poor timing on our part as a few items were replenished nearing the end of our meal as well as more diners being seated.
Really Great price for the basics offered, when compared to some other hotels.
I must note; individually, the jam, honey and bread were exceptional.
Overall satisfied for last minute booking (1 night)"
