Comfort Suites Oil Center
The front desk agent wasn’t rude, but also wasn’t friendly, wasn’t welcoming, or cared to talk much. The room was nice, clean, and fresh. Breakfast was limited to cereal and fruit. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. It wasn’t our first time at the property, and won’t be our last.
