Best Western - Road Trip Practicality Over Fancy Arrived…read more4/19-4/21 2026 We do a lot of long road trips, this one being a full six weeks, so priorities shift. At this point, I'll take a place where I can park right outside my door over a fancy, overpriced hotel any day. Convenience wins when you're living out of a suitcase. This location checked that box well. Easy access, practical, and overall a solid stop for the night. That said... breakfast. I've noticed over time that Best Western's breakfast quality has slipped a bit, and this location didn't help change that impression. What really threw me off was that it wasn't self-serve. Instead, you're standing there while someone portions your food. Not ideal when all you want is a quick, easy start to the day. A little "wait, what?" moment. The tougher part was the service during breakfast. Both mornings, the servers felt cold and uninviting. No warmth, no friendliness, and definitely none of that Southern charm you kind of hope for when you're traveling through the region. Overall, it did the job, and I'd still choose this kind of setup for road trips. But a better breakfast experience, both in quality and attitude, would make a big difference.

Best Western Winners Circle was our first overnight stay in our first visit ever to Arkansas on…read more7.19.2025. It also was a last minute change on my part. I had our entire itinerary planned and hotels reserved back in March, then decided to make a few changes after listening to a few new-to-me places from a friend who has been to Arkansas with her husband several times. Our 2 double beds room was $160.68. It's one of the nicest Best Westerns we had ever stayed at. That being said, it's not glitzy. Both beds were super stiff and uncomfortable. Of course my kids didn't complain because they are young. Lol. Dogs 30 lbs or less were welcome for a one-time $25 non-refundable fee per stay. My daughters and I loved their outdoor pool which closed at 10:30 PM. It was by far the cleanest pool we had used all year. Most of the staff members were all extremely friendly and used words like "sweetheart" and "darlin'." Just get over it if you usually don't appreciate niceties, manners, and that sort of thing. The breakfast had actual service - not the usual do-it-yourself set-up at most BWs. Kind of like cafeteria style, but they also brought plates out to customers. It just depended on the item. Huge fan for the price!

Located in the heart of bath house row, this is a charming old building with modern touches.

There is valet parking immediately in front. The property was well maintained, the staff were friendly. Our room had a view of The Arlington and the mountain tower. The room was clean and well kept. The only complaint is the air unit was quite loud (thankfully I always travel with ear plugs). Overall I would stay again.

After being awakened by tornado warnings (both from my phone and alarms sounding off throughout the…read moretown), getting a small glimpse of the aurora borealis from the rooftop, being continually surprised at how good the food at the Avenue restaurant is, and questionable brushes with the paranormal, I can confidently say this was one of the most memorable stays at a hotel. Our initial room had a view of the wall next door and air conditioning units. I didn't want a week of a crappy view, so we asked to stay on a higher floor and they obliged with our request. We ended up in room 510 with a much better view of the town. The room was clean and modern, but the bathroom seemed small and the shower's partial glass meant water was continually spilling out onto the bathroom floor. Maybe add a full glass shower door? The exterior windows could use a washing as well. Seeing lots of spiderwebs (outside) was icky. There is no self-parking either. Valet parking is $30/day; not bad as I've stayed at other hotels (i.e., San Francisco and Los Angeles) where overnight parking is $75-$85. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful. P.S. You may be wondering about the "questionable brushes with the paranormal" comment. Two strange occurrences happened to my bf who doesn't believe in anything paranormal. First was at the hotel lobby restroom. As he was washing his hands, the soap bottle moved a good 6 inches on its own. He lifted the bottle, thinking there was water underneath that caused it to move across the surface. Nope, no water. Side note; there's an old urinal from 1913 in the men's restroom located in that same bathroom (hotel lobby). Perhaps the ghosts like old urinals. Second, my bf went to the back exit, in an attempt to walk up the staircase that would eventually lead to the rooftop. When he saw there was a musician performing at the top staircase of the rooftop, he came back down and tried using his key card to enter the hotel. Spent a good ten minutes before he called me and asked to let him in. I met him at the door, he explained what happened. I used his key card to see if there was an issue with the card. Nope, key card worked and let me right in. In this situation, it could have been an odd glitch, but I do find it interesting that this happened right after the soap bottle incident. Last note... we were talking to a bartender from another restaurant who had worked at this hotel as a bartender a few years ago. She said she was closing up the bar one night and a basket from a top shelf had fallen off. It was only her and one other person and neither were near the area. Spooked her out quite a bit! COMING BACK? Absolutely. There are some minor inconveniences that I mentioned, but there was so much more that I loved about this hotel, especially its historic vibe.

I contacted front desk immediately, and was told that housekeeping would get to me the following day as they were no longer on site. The next day, no call. So I called. They said they never received a report of missing items. So I went through it again, and let them know in specific detail what was left behind and what my medication was contained in. I was assured I would be gotten to. No call. I called three more times, all with different employees with varying attitudes, and I was polite and understanding that for some reason, the room hadn't been cleaned in 2 days?? 3 days?? I understand leaving items behind is my own fault, however the lack of response, assistance, or even a polite phonecall back to say my items were in fact, missing, is why I would never stay here again. Congratulations to whomever has all my stuff, I hope the Eliquis is working well for you and you love all the facecare and perfumes.

The toilet in my…read moreroom was not working, when I went to the front desk the receptionist said "she did not know anything about toilets" and handed me a plunger, she also gave me cleaning spray that smelled like straight alcohol. Later that night, when I requested a late check out and towels, the staff member stayed on the phone and acted as if he did not want to assist me. I was told I would have to speak with the morning staff about the late checkout. Overall, the customer service was rude, unhelpful and in serious need of training, especially Shirley Brown. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL - DO NOT STAY HERE.

Our room was ready early & we checked in. Room #306 was tight, it felt like an obstacle course moving around our suitcases and belongings,. We had a comfortable king bed, small dorm refrigerator & large television. We have a full size sofa bed, however there doesn't seem to be enough room to open it. The WiFi worked well & our room was quiet. There was plenty of free parking in front. There was a small pool, fitness room & worn washer & dryer. There was a bar in the lobby & market with expensive snacks. There was a dirty animal smell in the room that became worse. We mentioned it at the desk. When we came back at the end of the day, housekeeping came through & the room smelled better. Happily the room didn't smell like chemicals. The hotel staff was very friendly and accommodating.

I have stayed at plenty of Holiday Inns and Holiday Inn Express locations, so I expected this stay…read moreto be comparable to previous stays elsewhere. However, I highly recommend you find somewhere else to stay for a trip to Hot Springs. I won't be recommending or booking a Holiday Inn in the near future because of this stay. Let's start with the good: Decent price, free continental breakfast, they were able to meet our request for two rooms next to each other, the front desk clerks were always polite and helpful, there is an indoor pool and a fitness center, and the room included a microwave, coffee pot, and small refrigerator Now for the rest: From the first day we arrived to every time we walked back into the room, it smelled like someone had smoked in the room, even though all rooms are supposed to be non-smoking. Only one of the two elevators worked the entire time (and it did not seem like they were even attempting to fix the second one. There was no out of order sign either). The pool is indoors, but it was quite cloudy and had lots of clumps of hair floating around in it. We had to repeatedly go to the front desk to ask for 4 washcloths everyday even though we were staying in a room with two double beds and had listed 4 people staying in the room when we booked it. ‍ The continental breakfast was not impressive. I understand that continental breakfast is usually grab-and-go, but the advertised pictures showed scrambled eggs and bacon, yet everyday it was an egg and cheese "omelet", sausage (one day pattis, the next links), and biscuits with gravy. They did finally serve bacon on Saturday, but the original rotation was the same from Monday-Friday. No waffle or pancake machine. Housekeeping did come by daily to add new bath towels (but apparently not washcloths), pick up used towels, and empty trash cans, but the cleaning was very limited. We had to ask for the room to be vacuumed (and that seems to be the only day it happened). The sink area was wiped down, but we could tell they didn't "clean" it (hand soap was visibly smeared where they had wiped). Coffee cups and supplies were not refilled once used. (The coffee machine smelled like it was burnt when I did try to use it once, and then there was only one packet of sugar and no stirrer in the coffee supplies, so I did not attempt to make coffee in the room again.) The carpet in the hall is bunching, which could be a major tripping hazard for anyone. Lastly, while I am used to hearing some noises when staying at any hotel, this one seemed to have paper-thin walls and windows. I was repeatedly woken up the first two nights by someone's baby crying, then again the next morning by someone playing music from their car speaker right outside our window, and then I could hear someone's phone conversation from a room near us. I highly recommend finding somewhere else to stay for your trip to Hot Springs. I wish I had found a review that warned me of this before I stayed here with my family.

Nothing a call to the front desk can fix. They just keep renting that room. 2) NO blackout shade...no way to control the light coming in from outside. Hope you planned to get up with the sun! Obviously not a new issue. Loose chain that once connected to the shade sits on the window sill in a puddle. Again, nothing the front desk could fix. 3) a loud tapping noise came from a vent in the bathroom. Two desk people told us it is a system-wide problem and advised us to keep the bathroom door shut. We did ask for a new room but were told they were full.
