10 Top-Rated Motels in Arkansas

April 18, 2023 Major Galusha

Living up to its billing as “The Natural State”, the state is a nature wonderland with three national forests, nearly 9,000 miles of pristine streams and rivers, awe-inspiring settings in the Ozark and Quachita mountains and sparkling lakes. The menu of vacation experiences is an exciting one. For great golf, spas, horse racing and the Hot Springs National Park, Hot Springs is the place to go. Outdoor enthusiasts love the Ozark Mountains where activities like canoeing, rafting, kayaking, fishing, hiking and rock climbing are popular. The mountain village of Eureka Springs, with its streets lined with Victorian homes, is brimming with boutiques, antique shops and art galleries. Wine enthusiasts love the Arkansas Wine Country, encompassing the towns of Paris, Ozark and Altus, where German style wines are produced. From its ancient mountains to the Delta flatlands leveled by the Mississippi River, the state has a diverse topography with numerous scenic drives. Try the Pig Trail, Ozark Highlands and Sylamore scenic byways in the Ozark National Forest designated by the U.S. Forest Service. Golfers love the state because greens fees are extremely affordable for great courses. A few excellent public access courses are Sage Meadows in Jonesboro, Stonebridge Meadows in Fayetteville and the Mountain Ranch Course in Fairfield Bay.

Donna Alise Julie the best staff

Reviewed By sondieb

In April my friends and I travelled from Illinois to Arkansas for a weekend of Hot Springs, horse racing and casino. We stayed at the Best Western which was great! But what made it excellent were 3 ladies, Donna, Alise, and Julie. These ladies took care of our morning breakfast. The personal attention we received from them was incredible. They talked with us and you could tell they loved what they did. One of us celebrated his birthday that weekend. These ladies had a cake and made him feel special on his birthday. The kindness at the Best Western from these 3 ladies will not be forgotten, as we still talk about them. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you Donna , Alise and Julie for being so kind in this crazy world, we are truly grateful. May God bless you three abundantly!

Pointe West Resort Motel

King and double queen rooms uniquely decorated. Let the whole family spread out in our fully furnished 3 bedroom apartment. Enjoy our beautiful views overlooking Beaver Lake. Be sure and catch the colorful sunsets from your private balcony or deck. You will most likely see the deer come up to browse in the evening or early morning. Come and visit for some peace and quiet.

This hotel stay was amazing. The jacuzzi tub works great and is a steal in price. The room was clean and staff very friendly. The views of the lake make it worth staying outside of town. We'll be back in the warmer months to do some diving.

Other than a parking issue, everything was good. I had to park away from from door. Traveling with my daughter , I would have rather been able to park at my room. It was a sold out night, but maybe the parking could be numbered by the door entry for each room. The staff was great and the room was pleasant

Not for everyone but we loved it!

You would need to be camping in a tent to find less expensive accommodations in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. This is a midcentury era motel with a pool and a personality all it's own. The rooms are not perfect but they are just fine. Our room was clean, pleasant and came with a minifridge with a small freezer, microwave and a large flat screen tv. The furnishings are a blend of vintage midcentury, steam punk and modern. The bathroom in our room appears to be original. It looks a bit tired but is clean and charming. The restaurant, The Gravel Bar, is completely updated. It has live music, a full bar and a small but interesting menu for lunch and dinner. There are also 3 small cabins for rent. I forgot to mention the best part! Our single queen room goes for $49/night!! For those who like kitsch and a little imperfection this is a place to check out!

DIRTY & NOT MAINTAINED

Reviewed By Devin N Sarah P

The room had not been properly cleaned and maintained in a very long time. There was old half eaten pizza behind the couch, the bathroom floor was sticky, there was hair in the bathtub and on the "clean" towels, the bathtub had dirt all over the bottom like someone dumped a mop bucket and didn't clean it out and the bathtub did not drain so when you showered you would be standing in ankle deep dirty water, there was dirt and other trash behind the mattress from not being cleaned, the skirt on the bed wasn't even fixed properly, the heater did not function correctly. If I could rate it a zero, I would. I would never stay there again.
