History-minded guests can visit the Delta Gateway Museum about 2.2km away or the Blytheville Air Force Base Exhibition around 7.1km away. Larger regional airports, Jonesboro Municipal Airport and Frederick W. Smith International Airport, are both roughly 43-61 miles out for those flying in from farther afield.
Best for
This hotel suits families and leisure travelers thanks to its indoor/outdoor pools, free breakfast, kids-stay-free and kids-eat-free policies, and proximity to a wide range of nearby restaurants. It also works well for business travelers and small groups needing meeting space, given the staffed business center and 7 meeting rooms. Road-trippers and airport-adjacent stays are convenient too, with Blytheville Municipal Airport just 3 miles away.
Travel tips
The hotel is walkable to several restaurants clustered within a few hundred meters, including Perkins and Bistro Eleven 21 right next door, so a car isn't strictly necessary for meals. Because guests have noted the property is fairly spread out, ask about room location at check-in if a long walk to your room is a concern. If flying into a larger airport, plan for a drive of roughly 43-61 miles from Jonesboro Municipal or Memphis's Frederick W. Smith International Airport, so budget travel time accordingly.
What guests say
Guests frequently praise the spacious, clean rooms, friendly staff, and the on-site restaurants and bar, along with the indoor pool being a hit for family getaways. Some reviewers highlight the hotel's sprawling layout leading to long walks to rooms, and a few report inconsistent housekeeping, including delayed towel and toilet paper restocking and slow trash removal. WiFi and cell signal reliability were also flagged as weak points by at least one guest, and the surrounding immediate area was described by one traveler as unappealing despite the hotel itself being well-regarded. Overall sentiment remains strongly positive, anchored by the 4.3 rating across 1,111 reviews, with service inconsistencies representing the main recurring complaint.
