Oasis Hotel & Conv. Center, an Ascend Collection Hotel
Love this hotel! Overall very clean and well kept! The only downsides are the small free breakfast doesn’t offer many options, especially allergy friendly. Also wish there was a hot tub with the pool! We love the rooms that open to the pool area! Feels like a tropical paradise in mid Mo!
