Best for
This hotel best suits budget-conscious road trippers and families passing through Arkadelphia who want an affordable overnight stop near DeGray Lake, DeGray Lake State Park, and the Caddo River for outdoor recreation.

Travel tips
Book ahead if arriving late, but be aware that some guests have reported having to redo the check-in process at the front desk even after completing an online pre-check-in. A car is recommended for reaching DeGray Lake State Park and the Aquatic Park, both a short drive away, while the Caddo River Float Drop Off is close enough for a quick trip. If noise sensitivity is a concern, request a room away from ground-floor exterior doors, as designated outdoor smoking areas near some rooms have been a source of late-night noise for guests.
What guests say
Guests frequently praise the cleanliness of the rooms, comfortable beds and real pillows, good water pressure, and consistent hot water. The motel is also noted as pet-friendly with decent nearby walking areas for dogs. On the negative side, some guests report a strong cleaning-product smell on arrival, a noisy air conditioning unit that runs all night, an overpriced in-room soda charge, and disruptive late-night noise from other guests smoking just outside room doors. Concerns were also raised about redundant check-in procedures and a lack of visible overnight or checkout staffing to address issues.
