This was a gem right in the middle of downtown Ft Smith. Art everywhere. I would stay here again. Clean, friendly staff. Was on my motorcycle and felt safe.

Pros:

The room we had was on the front , it sounded like drag racing all night , and that really cut into my sleep. But the room was clean and comfy, the gal at the counter was nice .
I think I would stay there again in a different room away from the street

This place sucks save your money
Pros:

I passed through to pick up a friend so that we could go to a funeral. When I came back we stayed here in this horrible hotel. I waited 45 minutes to speak with the clerk because there were a group of men arguing with her about getting a room but the lady who was paying was on the phone. We finally get to the room after dark after driving 1200 mi after a funeral, the door won't lock there's so much light pollution we can't get a proper night's sleep. There are people up and down the stairs all night. The building looks like it's going to fall down around us. The bathroom shower head needs to be cleaned so badly that it emits a high-peached squeak when you're showering. The bathroom door doesn't close there's a melt hole in the microwave making it unusable the refrigerator was frozen over. The TV was stuck on channels because there was no working remote and the buttons on the TV had been so overused that they didn't work either. The TV was pixelated on top of that.
