Best for
This hotel suits business travelers needing a 24/7 business center and meeting room, as well as leisure travelers and families wanting convenient access to Bentonville's museums, trails, and parks like Crystal Bridges and the Scott Family Amazeum. It also appeals to budget-conscious travelers seeking clean, comfortable rooms with practical in-room amenities like microwaves and minifridges.
Travel tips
A car is recommended, as many attractions like Pea Ridge National Military Park (about 14.8km) and The Walmart AMP (8.8km) are best reached by driving. Note that the side street exit near the hotel lacks a traffic light onto the busy Arkansas State Highway 72, so allow extra time and caution when leaving the property, especially during peak traffic. Also budget separately for breakfast, as it is not included in the room rate despite being served on-site.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the hotel's cleanliness, friendly and helpful front-desk staff, and good value for the price, along with comfortable, soft bedding.

A recurring complaint involves breakfast not being complimentary, which some felt was overpriced for what was offered, and one guest flagged difficulty turning left onto the adjacent highway due to heavy traffic and no traffic light. Overall, guests describe the rooms as quiet and comfortable, with efficient check-in processes.
