Oasis Botique Motel

Old-school, basic motel, but it was clean, had good toilet paper and friendly staff.

Food was delicious and people were wonderful. Definitely staying if we come back through the area. So homey and old school.

This place is a dump. My room smelled like a rotten peach or something and I finally found an old dank air freshener behind the nightstand and I threw it outside. When I turned on the air conditioner to circulate some air, the unit rattled so bad, but I didn’t call the manager, Frank, because he had been so rude at checkin I didn’t want to deal with him again. I don’t expect much when I’m traveling single and staying at a bargain motel, but the Oasis is not good at any price.

Good

First, the thumbnail photo of the lake is very misleading. There are no majestic views to be had here. The staff was friendly enough, and things were clean, but the facilities themselves were pretty dated and falling apart in some places. Rotting baseboards, holes in the towels, that sort of thing. Raton isn't a huge town and I think the owners are doing the best they can, but beware if these kinds of things bother you. The diner wasn't bad and the servers were friendly.

Lack of plug ins ans stain on the bed

Focused on profit rather than service, Frank, the manager, took our night’s payment but we, seniors, had to drive 5 more hours in the mountains at night and in the rain for an accommodation because of a booking error.

Very big room and quiet. We know the area is struggling and we hope that some repairs and updates will be affordable for them in the future. Restaurant has very tasty food and we can see the locals are helping keep the business open. Quite busy.

first room was clean with a broken tv second room they moved me to was full of bugs and smelled like mildew but at least the tv worked they just need to get it cleaned up

The staff was rude. Tje room was dirty. The bathroom had less than a ½ a roll of toilet paper. The cold water was shut off to the sink because of a leak. Never going back.
