Stopped in on way to NC and this was perfectly along the way. They're doing a remodel right now so it's a bit unkempt but that's to be expected. Room was very nice!! The shower head felt really nice the next morning as it was very powerful

We checked in around 10:00 pm and were given an upgraded room because I asked for a room close to the elevator. The pool had flooded but that did not affect our check in or stay. Our refrigerator was leaking but the housekeeping staff promptly cleaned up the water and exchanged our refrigerator for one that didn’t leak. The woman who checked us in on the night of 4/18/2022 was very professional and courteous. We really enjoyed the breakfasts and our overall stay was great. Wonderful hotel and location, we will stay here again whenever we visit Morrilton.

My review is a mixed bag with an overall positive experience. Please don't just take the bad and leave the good, as any issues I experienced will probably be resolved quickly. The rooms are recently updated, and updates are still ongoing across the hotel, but our tub had a chip in it, and the surface was so slick that it was dangerous when wet. The elevator has chunks out of the floor and long cracks. There is only one elevator that I know of, which is odd for a hotel of that size. They have an indoor pool! Which we didn't use due to time constraints but I wish we had. The new hand carts are great, and navigate more easily, but they dont have a hanging rack for clothing. All the bedding was clean (a wonderful surprise) and the room layout was more sparse but more effecient and relaxing than I've seen in the past. The ac units work, though the wall control hasn't been connected to anything yet (as of the date of this review) so I had to use the manual controls at the window unit. The water gets increasingly hotter the longer you shower, so I suggest setting it a little cooler than planned to begin with. This will probably get fixed with time, so I didn't take offense. On the third floor, one of the rooms I passed by smelled like septic. I imagine they had a plumbing issue of some kind there, as the room did not seem to be inhabited. But still the smell leaked through the door into the hall and smelled like rotting eggs. The breakfast servers were overly chatty with coworkers, and some food was set out cold as a result. Some food didn't make it to the serving area until almost everyone had eaten. The manager seemed to arrest that issue quickly, but it shouldn't have occurred to begin with. As far as breakfast, the standard fare is eggs, sausage patties or links, biscuits, gravy(white), Oatmeal, doughnuts, toast, muffins, juice, milk, apples. They had butter, cream cheese, salt and pepper, but no jelly. The servings are the same on weekends are they are on weekdays. The trash receptacle for the eating area is on the far side, away from the food serving area. I understand the logic, but another trash can should be provided nearer to the serving area, so folks going back for a second round dont have to circle the entire room to do so. The floor above us had children that ran up and down the hallway all night long. I was still hearing the stomping noises at 2 am. The beds are comfortable enough, as are the pillows. I don't know about the security camera situation, but the hotel only had one entrance/exit, and there was only one entrance to the hotel without having a key card. The hotel is in an out of the way place, away from the interstate but still within reasonable distance. Overall good experience. Will likely visit again.

Honestly after reading more recent reviews I was a bit apprehensive to stay here. It’s not bad. Upon walking in there was definitely a mildewy odor & they’re also clearly renovating the hotel. My room or bathroom did not have any mold, the AC worked, no bed bugs. I had a fridge in my room with a freezer compartment. Area is a bit secluded but it’s quiet. Staff is nice and pleasant. Honestly a solid stay.
