We just stayed overnight, but it was lovely. Friendly, efficient check-in, quiet, comfortable room/bed. Breakfast had gluten-free cereal, which was an unexpected plus.
Loved my stay at the Oasis Hotel. The owner and staff were super welcoming and really made me feel at home. They went out of their way with great local recommendations and helped with reservations. The room was spotless with a great view, and having laundry and breakfast available was a big plus. Highly recommend—would definitely stay here again.

The owner of the hotel was delightful and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a good stay. It is a hidden gem 10 minutes outside of Franz Joseph
Great room, wonderful spa bath, plenty of toiletries, staff very helpful, good variety of food for continental breakfast, laundry facilities so $10 to wash and dry large load
Angela and Thomas were excellent hosts going the second mile for us and their guests. The property is high quality and well furnished and welcoming. The location, landscaping, and environment was wonderful. They have a very good nutritious breakfast each morning in a scenic breakfast space. Thank you for your five star hospitality on checkin and throughout our stay. Greg and Gina Texas
It was a quiet place with great views away from the hustle and bustle. Didn’t hear any helicopters!
Angela and staff were friendly and helpful to make our stay very pleasant. The continental breakfast was very pleasant with a coffee machine with various choices, teas, juice and cereals and yogurt. Small platter of ham, cheese and hard boiled eggs was offered along with a small pastry.
A great place to stay for a couple of days.
The room was very spacious and comfortable. The staff were very welcoming and attentive with good recommendations for dinner.
