It was the Holiday Inn Express (HIE) but the property lost its flag from HIE due to not updating to the brand's standards. A new hotel was built just down the street that flies the HIE flag/name. This is a great value for a property close to the airport and includes bkfst with the stay.

I do wish the rooms had a mini fridge but that's okay, there is a large fridge and microwaves available in the gaming / common room which itself is a nice perk! Loved all the coffee nooks -was a nice thought! I'm bummed there's no breakfast anymore under the new ownership but by no means does it take away from the stay. Was so cute, clean and I'd stay again if I find myself in the area.

Beautiful mansion that has been put together so tastefully and the room we rented was clean and well appointed. As a fan of history and architecture you can't go wrong. Nice coffee bars in the common areas and spent a few moments on the way out chatting with the other guests. Loved our stay and will be coming back on our return trip

My room (Middle Eastern) was bright and comfortable. Last night, I appeared to be alone in the place, with its proximity to potentially menacing dolls in a crib (and deep, looming shadows down the entryway). Things might well have gotten spooky (and if I had the $$ and a production crew, this would be an amazing location for an indie-horror flick!) Instead, because the vibe was so clean and the aura so well-manicured, it was a perfectly tranquil, restful evening.

This place is clean and has decent electricity, cute, and history appropriate, but the themed rooms are cool. The only problem me and other guests had was you had to let yourself in with a code at night, no onsite staff, and the door lock was quirky. So, guests were propping it open when they went to their cars in order to not get locked out.

Extremely Disappointed - Unsafe Room Conditions & Poor Management…read moreWe stayed at Holiday Inn Express Van Buren-Ft Smith Area in July 2025, and it was an incredibly frustrating experience. We booked two rooms, but one had no working air conditioning, with 97° weather outside and even hotter inside, it was completely uninhabitable. We had an infant with us, and when we asked for help at the front desk, we were told no other rooms were available. So, our entire group was forced to squeeze into one room for the night. To make things worse, we checked in just before 2:00 a.m., and housekeeping knocked on our door at 8:15 a.m. because the front desk clerk checked us out 5 minutes after we arrived. The noise woke everyone, including our baby, after a long night of travel. I attempted to resolve this with hotel management. The front desk initially told us the manager would call us, but that call never came. When I called the corporate office myself, the manager argued with me and then hung up. Completely unprofessional. I've now had to dispute the charges with my credit card company because the hotel charged me for both rooms, including the one we could not use. Based on the poor service, unsafe conditions, and total lack of follow-up, I would not have anyone stay here! I expected better from Holiday Inn Express and IHG. I do not recommend this location. After reading several other reviews looks to be the MO for this location! RIP OFF!

The entire stay, I had difficulty opening and closing the door, had to be done forcefully. Couldn't fully close the door once inside without slamming it. The free wi-fi was practically nonexistent, and when you could connect, it wouldn't stay connected. There were no drinking cups, no tissues, not even a phone. The parking lot was hard to get in and out of, and the lobby was tiny. The bathroom had cracks in the walls, and the toilet did not flush unless you held the handle. Hardly any outlets to plug a charger into. No place to hang clothing. Due to the pool in the parking lot, I couldn't park near my door. TV reception was good, beds were ok, but one of the pillows was so lumpy that it needed to be discarded. The manager (?) spoke English with such an accent that a staff member ended up translating for me. When I got home, I realized that the hotel had charged my credit card for my stay, even though I had booked through Priceline and had prepaid; I had to contact Priceline to get the hotel to refund my money.

We hike, bike, float, and off road and this place is prime for river floats and off roading. One of the most beautiful waterfall hikes (Devils Den) is right up the road as well. The owners are incredibly nice and welcoming. There is a mile of river front where you can camp (tents, vans, small trailers) and plenty of large RV spots in the main area (50 ft from water). Oh and the owner brings her kangaroo on Saturdays who is so friendly and can be pet. If you need a shuttle for your float the owner can help you out (spots to float 15, 8 or 3 miles) and bring your ATV bc there is a ton of trails on the property. All the campers have been really nice and respectful of quiet hours too.

The RV campground is right next to the mulberry river, and has a very peaceful vibe; it feels like camping in the forest. All hook ups were in good condition; electrical was new, and the campground was clean. There are a lot of nearby nature activities - kayaking, off roading, hiking, etc., and our kids had a blast playing on the river bank. The owners are very warm and genuine, and made us feel like family. We highly recommend this RV site if you ever find yourself in Arkansas.
