This hotel suits families and road-trippers thanks to its free-kids-stay policy, kitchenette-equipped suites, and relaxing outdoor pool with hot tub, as well as visitors to Harding University or White County Medical Center given the short 0.7-2.5 mile distances. It also works well for budget-conscious travelers seeking free hot breakfast, free parking, and easy access to Highway 67/64 for onward travel.
Travel tips
Since the hotel sits just off Highway 67/64 in a shopping area, having a car is the most convenient way to reach downtown Searcy (about 4 miles away) and nearby parks like Berryhill Park and Riverside Park. Dining options such as Wingstop and McAlister's Deli are within a short walk, so guests without a car can still eat easily. Note that the nearest airport, Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport, is roughly 47 miles away, so plan extra travel time if flying in or out.
What guests say
Guests most often praise the hotel's cleanliness, friendly and respectful staff, and the spacious pool area as a relaxing highlight of their stay. The daily breakfast buffet also draws repeated positive mentions for its variety and quality, and several reviewers noted the property felt ideal for families. However, a subset of reviews raised concerns about room upkeep, citing stained linens, a broken toilet seat, and scattered trash, suggesting some inconsistency in housekeeping standards.
