No Hair products!
Didn't have any conditioner in the bathroom! My hair was a mess with none!
Check in went quickly. The parking lot is well lit. We stayed on the third floor and never heard any other people. Breakfast was open before the scheduled time.
This my 2nd stay at the Arc, I really like the comfort zone and the super nice staff. Nicely remodeled, close to everything I need and very clean. I will gladly stay there the next time I'm in town.
I stay at this hotel every time I come to Fort Smith. The price is fantastic, friendly staff, great breakfast bar, and CLEAN rooms. Don't let the price scare you...its just a great deal! Convenient location near restaurants and shopping.
Everyone was friendly, the room was nice. To use the shower, pull the circle out of the spout where the water comes out 😉
Breakfast was a pretty good spread for a hotel. I was satisfied.
Cockroaches in the room in several areas. When we notified the staff they just said they come in and spray every so often. Unacceptable. This is suppose to be a 3 star hotel…
The price was great. The rooms were nice. The bed not so comfortable. I was here for 6 nights and the maid service was lacking. We left the do not disturb sign out 1 time. We got towels in a trash bag by the door one night and the trash was not emptied for 2 to 3 days. Got fresh towels 1 time. out of 6 night. I enjoyed the breakfast. There was choices. The coffee was hot and it was good. THe breakfast area was nice and clean. Overall a 3.5 out of 5.
My only complaint is that I smelled a strong weed smoke smell on our floor the whole time. We weren’t in the hotel for long though, because we were busy with family.

Decent
Hotel appears nice. It has decent reviews. Hotels was clean, but room had the smell of being smoked in previously. Otherwise, hotel was nice.
Our stay was exactly what we hoped for. Convenient to most everything in Fort Smith, very helpful desk hosts. Our room had a musty smell (like AC not draining properly) that I wanted to report but the clerk was not there at checkout. Nice property though.
