Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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

Definitely the sadder of the airport neighboring Phoenix Ave hotel options in Fort Smith… The building is rundown and smells, though no bugs or stains, but the rooms are hastily repaired (ugly patched holes, exposed wiring etc), bed was comfortable but just only stay if you need to save a few bucks I guess

Great place to stay. Hotel staff friendly and helpful. It’s clean and well kept. They have breakfast, although I’ve never taken advantage of it the smell is wonderful and there are always several people eating.
