Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
The desk clerk was friendly and upbeat. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The shower had great water pressure but the frayed fabric shower curtain on the arc shaped rod could not keep the water in. The hair dryer didn't work, and there weren't enough accessible outlets to charge phones or make coffee. One of the window panes was completely blocked and needs replacement. They supposedly served free breakfast til 9 am. However when my husband went down at 8:45 they were pulling all the food and putting everything away without even asking if he wanted any of it. Even the salt & pepper shakers had been gathered up.
They refused to let me stay there bc I over slept past check out, they didn't tell me until I booked again and they already even took my money off the card. Had to wait two weeks for refund, they could of just talked to me the day I overslept and offered me to pay a late check out fee or told me that day before I left not to come back
The room was very clean and roomy. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The hotel smelled nice and clean. Will definitely stay again!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Check in receptionist was not all that . I probably would have done better checking myself in . I also was supposed to pay at the desk, but was charged before I got there .

No Hair products!
Didn't have any conditioner in the bathroom! My hair was a mess with none!
Check in went quickly. The parking lot is well lit. We stayed on the third floor and never heard any other people. Breakfast was open before the scheduled time.
This my 2nd stay at the Arc, I really like the comfort zone and the super nice staff. Nicely remodeled, close to everything I need and very clean. I will gladly stay there the next time I'm in town.
I stay at this hotel every time I come to Fort Smith. The price is fantastic, friendly staff, great breakfast bar, and CLEAN rooms. Don't let the price scare you...its just a great deal! Convenient location near restaurants and shopping.
Everyone was friendly, the room was nice. To use the shower, pull the circle out of the spout where the water comes out 😉
Breakfast was a pretty good spread for a hotel. I was satisfied.
Cockroaches in the room in several areas. When we notified the staff they just said they come in and spray every so often. Unacceptable. This is suppose to be a 3 star hotel…
