The mattress was very comfortable, but the bedding smelled of diesel fuel or gas or kerosene. To the point my husbands back smelled like it after we woke up and my clothes also absorbed the smell. Upon check out, I was just letting them know to clean the bedding better or figure it out for next guest and my concern was dismissed to a new mattress smell. I have smelled new mattresses, they usually do not smell like gas.

Tremika Copeland, the operations manager, was amazing! She went out of her way to find us a room to exchange when we told her the first room’s bed was too soft for us. The room was cozy and clean with the best towels and sheets. The lobby was great with a pantry, bar, and dining area. Parking was easy and in a free garage attached to the hotel. I would stay here again!
