The Oakes is very well located. You can walk to the incline and go down to the table of the rock information center in 5 minutes without having to use a car or go down the hill on foot. The staff members are pleasant, specially, Anad at their front desk. She helped us with all are inquiries and questions. She made sure our room was clean ( you have to request your room to be clean everyday a day in advance). The only day that housekeeping couldn’t clean the room for whatever reason, Anad contacted me via mobile and advised me. I then, requested clean towels and they got deliver before we got to the room. The only issue I see was that one of my fiends is disabled and regardless the room was ok (519), the tub/shower was very hard to get in. Also furniture at the room was old and some could use some immediate replacement like the night light . At least they sent maintenance to put a light bulb at the bathroom light! That was great.
