NEAR MANSFIELD, La. — Sharpco Hotels Group has officially broken ground on a new 67‑room Comfort Inn & Suites east of Mansfield, marking the company’s return to a community where its roots run deep.
The hotel will be built at the Interstate 49 and U.S. Highway 84 interchange, next to the LOVES Travel Center. When completed, it will become the first hotel at the exit, bringing new lodging options to travelers and supporting continued growth in DeSoto Parish.
The project will feature the Comfort brand’s Rise & Shine prototype, which includes a modern lobby, flexible seating areas, refreshed guestroom layouts, and amenities designed for both business and leisure guests. Plans call for complimentary hot breakfast, high‑speed Wi‑Fi, a fitness center, and meeting space.
For Sharpco Hotels Group, the project represents both progress and a homecoming.
“We are thrilled to return to the Mansfield market. I spent several summers living and working in our former Best Western here during my college years, so this community holds a special place in my story. Opening the first hotel at the Interstate 49 exit, right beside the LOVES Travel Center, is an exciting milestone for Sharpco Hotels Group,” said Jay Sharplin, Sharpco Hotels Group president.
Sharpco previously owned and operated the Best Western in Mansfield throughout the late 1980s and 1990s.
Construction is now underway, with the hotel expected to open once development is completed.
