Multiple reports of mold in the bathroom, dirty bathtub drain, pool-area bathroom described as disgusting and some guests saying rooms were less clean than prior stays.
Service
9.5
Staff repeatedly described as friendly and extremely helpful; front desk addressed issues promptly (e.g., securing a door) which supports a high service score.
Location
9.5
Several mentions of a great location and convenient placement for visitors, supporting a very positive location rating.
Room Quality
7.5
Comfortable beds praised, but several maintenance and room issues reported (exposed tack strip, loose panels, poor sofa bed quality, squeaky microwave) reduce this score.
Amenities
8
Breakfast offerings (pancake maker) and basic amenities generally positive, but fitness room had strong smells, noisy equipment and water machine low which lowers the score.

One guest called the stay 'fair but not excellent' and 'expensive for just a fair experience,' while others seemed satisfied; overall value is slightly below top-tier.

Breakfast frequently described as very good or amazing (pancake maker noted); occasional note about missing eggs but overall very positive.

Great stopover in Searcy
Pros:

The breakfasts at a HIE are always quite good. This location had a pancake maker. Unusual & different from the waffle maker, but still great.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind

Cons:

No hot water
Breakfast was not as good as most holiday inn express.

Past stays were much better then this last one
Pros:

Breakfast was very good.

Cons:

Room was in need of some repairs. There was mold in the bathroom. The tack strip where it transitioned to carpet, the tacks were exposed and hurt your feet when you stepped on it.

Fair but not excellent. And expensive for just a fair experience.
Pros:

Staff was super friendly.
Location was great.
Coffee was delicious.

Cons:

Room had minor things that looked like it wasn’t cared for with excellence- I.e panel on floor of bed frames loose, inefficient and squeaky microwave… Fitness facility also- treadmill squeaky and strong smell in fitness room- not pleasant. Water machine low on water.

Pros:

The staff was extremely helpful and very friendly. The only issue that was a concern was the back door to the parking area kept hanging up and not closing correctly, we told the front desk, and they would get it closed but it needed more attention to fixing the problem for security purposes. Overall, it was a great place to stay while visiting my father for his 80th. birthday. I will definitely stay again in the future as I make a trip once a year for family visits.

Pros:

The bed was amazing. Was in the heat and sun all day with a softball tournament. Room was cool, bed was the best. Slept like a log.
