Travel tips
Since the hotel sits right off Interstate 40, it's an easy, convenient stop for those driving between Memphis and Little Rock rather than a destination in itself. Guests planning to rely on the included continental breakfast should confirm it's being served at check-in, as availability has been inconsistent according to past guests. Bring a vehicle, as the property is auto-oriented with free parking and nearby attractions like Cache River National Wildlife Refuge are best reached by car.

A few reviewers also mentioned thin towels or had concerns about basic cleanliness expectations like avoiding pests, while others simply needed a functional, no-frills place to sleep for a short stay.
