Not to bad!!! Quiet and safe location.

The price was great. The rooms were nice. The bed not so comfortable. I was here for 6 nights and the maid service was lacking. We left the do not disturb sign out 1 time. We got towels in a trash bag by the door one night and the trash was not emptied for 2 to 3 days. Got fresh towels 1 time. out of 6 night. I enjoyed the breakfast. There was choices. The coffee was hot and it was good. THe breakfast area was nice and clean. Overall a 3.5 out of 5.

Not completely satisfied

My only complaint is that I smelled a strong weed smoke smell on our floor the whole time. We weren’t in the hotel for long though, because we were busy with family.

Our stay was exactly what we hoped for. Convenient to most everything in Fort Smith, very helpful desk hosts. Our room had a musty smell (like AC not draining properly) that I wanted to report but the clerk was not there at checkout. Nice property though.

! DO NOT BOOK !

I booked this hotel through Hotels.com, and the experience was awful from start to finish. When I arrived, I discovered the sink wasn’t connected… water poured straight through the pipes onto the floor. Even worse, there was what looked like blood smeared near the door handle/lock. The room was unsafe, unsanitary, and completely unlivable. What made things worse was trying to resolve it. Hotels.com makes themselves nearly unreachable. I tried emailing (the addresses bounce back), calling (endless hold times), and even using the chat feature. Getting an actual human to help is almost impossible. For a company as big as Hotels.com, this lack of accountability is unacceptable and I’m still struggling to get a refund. I expected Hotels.com to at least stand behind their bookings and make the process easier, but instead I’ve been stuck chasing customer support with no results. If you’re considering this hotel — don’t. And if you’re booking through Hotels.com — be aware that if something goes wrong, you may be on your own.

Hotel is in state of a turn around from a chain. I am sure they are going to freshen it up as it was clean but a little worn on the edges. Bedding was fresh but the carpet was worn. Area seemed very safe.,

There are roaches on the bedside table and crawling up the walls. 😩Don't know how I'm going to sleep. Also, booking on expedia is $10 cheaper now than what I paid, today. Tv was unplugged in the back of console. Took me a minute to figure it out. Mostly the roaches tho. Ugh.

There was a leak in our room the first night. It leaked down in to the breakfast area. We had to change rooms for the repair. No help with moving! The room we changed to had no lamp and no chair at the table. The second morning breakfast ran short of items, biscuits, sausage, eggs, etc. 30 minutes before scheduled shut down. Thougnt we might get reimbursed or comp somehow, but no! The hotel was clean, comfortable, staff were nice, courteous.
