Top hotels in South Central
Oasis Inn
The owners of the hotel clearly care about the property and take care of it. The rooms were very clean and well outfitted. The hotel surrounds a pretty courtyard that is blocked off from the roads with green space & a pool. I thought it was a nice little place.
