Stay was okay, not bad, not great....

The stay was fine, but nothing special. I think this is the old Holiday Inn Express, rebranded. The hotel charged $25 for my pet. I'm used to paying $10-$15. I felt this was over-charging. My opinion.

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.

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.
