They have done a great job of increasing that value. Last time we were in town we let the others pick the place to stay. It was about $60 higher but not nicer. It was more than one level ( a hotel) , but that was it. This stay was Nov.7th, 2024. Andy at the desk , was very friendly. No negatives to report. Being a retired truck driver , I've stayed at hotels quite a bit. This Motel is one of my favorites. I hate to pay a sizable amount and it's nothing special. This place suits me perfectly! We will be back, soon.

The longer my trip goes, the better the hotels get. Ozark has risen to the top of my list so far,…read moredespite not having any food up front (not that that's a dealmaker for me). The only other real con for me is that these are outdoor rooms - but there are no indoor hotels anywhere near this price point in the area. To be fair, every place has had good service for me so far, and no exception - the Ozark desklady happily gave me a second key to unlock the room that had my first key locked inside (I was really tired last night, sorry!). Rooms are very well maintained and kept clean. No loiterers outside, unlike other hotels on this vacation, and no smoking anywhere. This all shows, and it's why we're at the top. What I'd like to see for 5 stars: quieter room A/Cs, slightly softer beds, room lights a little less obnoxiously bright (no lamps, it's just a few overheads - all or nothing it feels like). It's close. A good choice for Mena travelers.

We snagged a room here to get us the majority of the way from Dallas to Eagle Rock Loop (Arkansas) so we could knock it out without a 4.5h drive leading up to it. I am so glad we did! Upon arrival at around 8PM, we had to call so the inn keeper could let us in, then we got a tour, and were shown upstairs to our room: #4. The floors are creaky with charm, but there's a private bathroom in the room, window-unit AC, and a large and powerful space heater (we were toasty on a freezing night). So much personality and personal touches here. A modest, but complimentary, selection of snacks and drinks are available in various places, too! All in all, I'd definitely come back and stay a little longer!

I stayed here with a buddy on a road trip to Texas and it was definitely unusual…read more The neighboring national park is beautiful but the town of Talihina is a grim place, avoid if possible, it's definitely seen better days. Upon arrival we received a warm greeting from the gentleman at the front desk and he showed us to our ground floor room. The decor in the hallway set the tone (rather rundown but featuring displays about the area and history of the hotel), one of the rooms we passed was missing a door and had a bed sheet covering the door way, perhaps it was being rehabbed? Our room was clean, sheets were nice and the beds were comfy but the room didn't feel finished (bare concrete floor, exposed pipes and electric lines from the room above running along the ceiling). The bathroom was clean but tiny and a bit rundown. After seeing the room for the first time, I'm certain that had I been with my wife, she would have insisted we get back in the car and keep driving. The hotel restaurant is closed for business (not sure if that is temporary or permanent) but that was definitely the only attractive room in the building. The whole marketing emphasis of this place is that it's "historic" but it's only from the 1940's, my home is much older and I've never thought of it as historic. Frankly, it felt like the whole "historic" thing was just an excuse for being so shabby. All in all I'd say that whoever is in charge of cleaning is doing a wonderful job but the whole place is rundown and desperately in need of restoration. You will be hard pressed to find somewhere decent to eat in town. We received a couple of recommendations for "El Rancho Mexican Grill" and it was pretty awful.

There is a steep grade climb up to the cabins, no issues for a car or truck. All of the cabins have a view. We stayed at the honeymooners cabin number three in the view from the screened in porch was amazing. The porch is where we spent most of our time. We used the Jacuzzi tub in the living room for a good hour of soak time before bed. The queen bed was comfortable for two people. Cabin was clean and spacious enough for us, And had everything we needed including a small refrigerator microwave toaster oven sink. Good size shower in the bathroom. We stayed in cabin 3, Honeymooners. The interior of the cabin is all wood but in really good condition and there was no smell of smoke. Good communications by text we never have to actually see anyone. Looking forward to the next visit!

If you want to get away from it all, this is your place!…read more It is very remote, but if you want a place to go and stay there (for the most part), and fish, swim in the swimming pool, hike, etc., it is a great place. If you want to spend most of your time in Beavers Bend State Park, it is not too convenient for that. And, don't expect to get a cell phone signal. Wifi is not dependable. So, GREAT place if you want to be "removed," and very pretty. Since there isn't much information, I'll say: there are 8 cabins and they are down an 8-mile long road (Game Preserve Road/Sherman Road) from a point that is about 12 miles north of the state parks. There is a swimming pool, and there is a boat ramp very close by. The "lakefront" is a stretch. You can walk down a trail (gets very steep at the end) to the cove of the lake.

We arrived after midnight and promptly got a room. It was clean, and well made up. A mini-refrigerator and the microwave both worked, plus we had cable and HBO. The AC worked like a charm, it got us down to 65 degrees! The shower was hot and very nice after a long hike. The beds were very comfortable and the sheets were nice, could be improved, but not scratchy. The rooms were pretty large too, lots of room for luggage and space for what ever. There was also a table to eat at or play a game, and a well lit bathroom/vanity. The grounds were well maintained and well lit. I forgot my pillow and they notified me that I left it. I'm very grateful I chose to stay here instead of anywhere else we passed on my way to, and from the national park from Texas. Great customer service, and overall experience. Thank you, guys!

I arrived to check into my prepaid reservation 6/7, only to be informed that the hotel had given my room away to another guest. I had to call a number on the door since there was not an employee on site. This person lied about my calling, even though, my call log proves otherwise, calling four times until it was answered on the fourth attempt. When contacting the property on 6/15, Jordan at the front desk offered zero customer service then proceeded to HANG UP on me. In the proceeding conversations, she lied three times about this situation. Refused to escalate this to the supervisor nor provide me with their email address. Attempting to resolve this with their billing and management team has been an exercise in frustration. Retaining payment for services rendered is standard business; charging a customer for a room you actively gave away to someone else is, frankly, fraudulent. If you value consumer rights, reliable reservations, and ethical billing practices, I strongly advise booking elsewhere.
