Charles

Disliked: Amenities
Lowest, worst, dirtiest, most run down hotel possible. Shockingly decrepit. Reallllllly bad. Broken tiles in bathroom; hair dryer non-functioning; 20 year old sunken mattress; bright red walls, painted by some 5 year old. Missing baseboard in olaces. Could not have been any worse. Never ever ever ever stay here. It is an embarrassment to the state of Arkansas.

There is no reference of a 100$ deposit on site, but lady at front insisted there was so had to pay an extra 100$ . There is mold in bathroom all over walls and ceiling, stained sheets on bed and open electric wires sticking out of the wall. I do not recommend anyone staying here untill the rooms are fixed.

Steven

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The staff was pleasant and friendly. The room was large and equipped with a microwave oven and refrigerator. Everything in the room worked well. The waterpressure was good and the water got hot. There is no icemaker in the premises. The overall shape of the buildings was a bit run outdated. The door of our hotel room was hung crooked whichl ooked bad and let extra light into the room from the hallway. The bathroom tile and paint looked like it was left halfway completed. Everytime a guest would shut the door to their room, it would echo down the hallway and the sound would travel loudly right into our room. Because the price was so inexpensive and the staff was so friendly, I would still consider staying here again.

Nightmare in Fort Smith

Awful stay. Avoid at all cost. The business is a racket. When i arrived i was told i have to pay another $150 cash on top of what was already paid. The place had the smell of bodily fluids when you walk in the front.
