Hotel is great, location not so much

Had no issues with the hotel itself. Staff was friendly, clean environment, room is nice, all that is fine there. The hotel shares the area with a restaurant just across the parking lot. I was in town for work, staying Tuesday and Thursday night. Both nights, around 3:40 AM the restaurant has garbage pickup. The garbage truck comes and makes what almost felt like an intentional amount of noise that I can imagine woke up most people on this side of the hotel. Loud BANG BANG BANG of the dumpsters. Not great for getting a good night's sleep.

This property has friendly front desk personnel. The rooms were well lit with ample space for luggage and working. I liked the full length mirror and the fact that the bathroom mirror did not fog up at all. The shampoo and conditioner for the shower was very nice. I did not like that there was no outlet plug on the desk lamp so that I could have the lamp on AND charge my laptop while working at the desk. I had to unplug the lamp in order to charge my laptop while sitting at the desk. The free breakfast was very good with a variety of items to suit different tastes. Overall, this was a very nice property.

I can't say enough about how wonderful this hotel was!!! From check in, to check out. We arrived it took literally 2 minutes for them to hand us our keys, and the front desk receptionist was an absolute sweetheart. Rooms were very clean, loved the roomy shower and bathroom, and their parking lot was clean and safe. Breakfast was also good The one thing though I must brag about I unfortunately had a women issue around midnight, and went downstairs hoping their little gift shop had feminine products, luckily they did and the gentleman that was working was so sweet, he gave me the box for free! 10/10 recommend, and if ever coming through fort smith, this will be hotel destination.
