Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

Acceptable, but not good

Definitely not 8/10 rating, maybe hotel used to be better in the past. The real rating should be 5/10, the room was barely above acceptable to stay in. I was first given a room that was swampy, smelled like mildew. After asking for a new room, second one was acceptable but not very clean and quite dark.

Needs updating, breakfast was ok but they run out of food and don't replace anything, no fruit but they have a bowl for it, no one is ever at the front desk. Toilet had to be plunged multiple times, no USB connection for your plugs

Great place to stay 💯💯

I stayed here on the way to my destination and on the way back. It’s in a very safe area which is extremely important to me because I was traveling with my kids. The rooms are very clean, a bit dated but that is the vibe so it wasn’t concerning. Beds are extremely comfortable and we needed a roll away on the drive back and we were accommodated with no problems. Breakfast was hot, delicious and amazing. There is a variety of options and they even have yogurt and oatmeal if you don’t feel like something heavy or sugary. The staff is super nice and super helpful. If I’m ever passing through Fort Smith again, I will be coming back.

Only thing that I disliked was the fact when rooms were being cleaned and we came back they only had 1 towel/wash cloth when we booked for 3 people. When asked they said they were behind on laundry and would get them to us but never did. Other than that great place. Will stay again

The front desk employee was very nice and check in was quick. We walked into our room to a musty smell and the refrigerator was open with wet towels in it and the floor was wet by the refrigerator but all over it was damp. We were so tired we just dealt with it. We were there for a swim meet so we had food to put in the refrigerator but had to keep it in our cooler due to the refrigerator not working properly. It was a bit of a hassle because we had to empty the water and refill the cooler but it is what it is. We have stayed here before and had a great experience. I know this situation was out of their hands and I could’ve asked for a different room. I would stay here again to see if I have a better experience again. The area was a nice and convenient to where we needed to go. For the most part it was quiet, every once in awhile we would hear a door slam but not often.
