Best Western The Oasis at Joplin

Won't go back due to the awful smell in room especially after attending a funeral plus we were told there was security, which there wasn't. There was no wall decor and the wall plugs looked.weird The bed was so uncomfortable my back has hurt since then. No security as promised and you could hear everything above you less

First off, as 2 younger women traveling alone, I did *not* realize this was a motel. I never would have stayed here had I realized. Once we got in the room things were good, but our room was in the second building. The stairs on either end are towards the back of the building, so we weren’t going up those. The stairs in the middle, nearest our room, had a man that was clearly drunk, smoking directly outside his room. He was also standing in the middle of the stairway, and since it was 10pm at night when we arrived, that didn’t feel safe either. In the morning, the people outside the room talking seemed extremely loud. I then realized the door at the bottom didn’t shut all the way. It looked like it had been forcefully pushed open at some point. The room itself was fine- about what you would expect for a place with 3.8 stars. Water pressure in the shower was great, though I think the water was hard water, as my hair was quite tangly- way more than usual. Room seemed very clean less

Rooms are out of date, chipped flooring. We were given a room in the little annex building. This is a motel not a hotel. Requested extra pillows, had to put on our own pillowcases. No bed beg covers on the mattress. It was late and had a kid to put to bed so looked past the above details. Unfortunately the bathtub knob would not work. The only temperature was scalding hot so we couldn't bathe. Called the front desk and they had no non-smoking rooms left. Changed to the Hampton Inn. less

Easy to get to from Highway, simple check-in, friendly staff, very nice stay. due to covid, breakfast is limited to Togo boxes of Biscuits and gravy, At least its still offered. Plenty of space for parking as I had Pickup Truck and Trailer to park, I would stay again if I was around there again. less

Room was in poor condition - shower was loose and off the wall, dirty towels were left behind by cleaning service, empty cigarette boxes and beer bottles on the grounds outside the room - strong odor. less
