Top Van Buren Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Fort Smith City Center

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place. Will return"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Fort Smith

4/10 Poor

"Checked in and went to the room. Entering the room it smelled musty and foul. The bed linens were dirty. The phone did not work. The bathroom toilet seat was not bolted on. The bathroom mirror was dirty. The carpet was dirty and frayed. I went downstairs to tell the staff. She assigned me another room. The second room had minimal lighting in the bathroom with only half the mirror lights working. There was mold around the shower as well as a stopped up tub drain. The room also had a musty smell. There was hair on the pillowcase, dust on the walls and lamps, particles of hair and dirt around the bed skirt. It was also noisy with people slamming doors, walking hard upstairs, and dogs barking inside. Was not a pleasant stay."

Holiday Inn Express Suites Van Buren-Ft Smith Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"Large quiet room, very comfortable. Lobby was attractive and new-looking. Breakfast was a bit disappointing, though. They have fancy coffee machines which grind the beans and brew each cup individually. It took a few minutes and we were really looking forward to excellent coffee, but it was weak and tasteless. I don't know if they used cheap beans, reduced the amount of beans, or maybe set it for too much water per cup. We each used a different machine, so it wasn't a fluke. They were huge Styrofoam cups, which was another disappointment; why not paper cups like most hotels? The rest of breakfast was typical: "omelette" disks in a chafing dish, fake yogurt (Yoplait is NOT yogurt, it is pudding made with cornstarch). They had a pancake machine but it was very slow. The best part was the nice cinnamon rolls."
