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.

Room 202 has water intrusion issues

The room was musty and the sheets were damp to the touch. Obvious water issues. There was rust on the ironing board and other metal objects in the room. There was no way to stay in this room. We had to find another hotel, since they were full and only received one night credit out of two, after not staying there at all.
