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 The overall shape of the buildings was a bit run outdated.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.

This was a business trip for an event a friend and I were bartending at. It's always a hot and miss with choosing a place to crash after 12+ hour shifts. It's not a fancy dancy hotel. But it is a place to lay your head after a long day. Beds were very comfortable. New fridge in room. Older hotel could use a lot of updating, but over all I got a good 9 hours of sleep and a hot shower.

Overall the space was good for the price and location, just some small things I wish was where better This was my first hotel I have booked myself, it was simple and the front desk people were nice and helpful. The room was mostly clean, inside the trash cans were dirty and needed a desperate scrub. There was also something on the floor near the bed and something melted onto the dresser infront of the tv. There was a bottle cap in a dresser drawer. The bed was okay but the pillows are hard and the toilet paper was rough and thin. The shower head is fixed to the wall, presser was okay but it was on blast mode and had to figure out how to change it to be more gentle. Temperature in the shower was also good. One lamp by the bed had no bulb and was loose fitting. It was nice and quiet and a good amount of space

Place is a sh*thole. Roach infested, peeling paint, and dirty. No ice machines. Made reservations online, but when I arrived, they didn't have my reservation. And they required a 100.00 deposit. Would've been better off sleeping in my truck.

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.
