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.
