Quality Inn Fort Smith I-540

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about our stay! The room was well maintained and even serviced during our stay! The lobby has the CUTEST snack area! The breakfast was the best hotel breakfast I’ve had in YEARS! (Even if there weren’t bagels 😂). I stay in fort smith multiple times a year and this may just have become my default choice."

Rest Inn Fort Smith

10/10 Excellent

"I stay there quite often. I'm always trying to be clean friendly staff and even an early check-in the only thing is stay was advertise a pool and they advertise a breakfast which neither they have so I was kind of disappointed about that but other than that I think the price is a little too high for the condition of a two-star property but the staff makes it worth it"
