Definitely the sadder of the airport neighboring Phoenix Ave hotel options in Fort Smith… The building is rundown and smells, though no bugs or stains, but the rooms are hastily repaired (ugly patched holes, exposed wiring etc), bed was comfortable but just only stay if you need to save a few bucks I guess
