Absolutely no amenities. No coffee machine, not even in the lobby either, I don't believe. Still using the "Night Check in Window". it's a stuffy little add on off of the main lobby. All that being said room was clean and cheap and for this trip it was what I was looking for.

I have stayed there in the past when it was owned and managed by other names. There has been much improvement to the property since it became a Red Roof branded property. The location is kind of sketchy but it is right on Garrison Avenue so there is plenty of traffic and lighting. Its a good budget option for that end of Fort Smith.

For $75 a night I still would expect clean towels just because you washed them don't mean they clean... Oh be careful too, your liable to trip on the number of spots where the walkway is shifting or lifting up with chunks of concrete everywhere almost

Worst place I ever stayed in my 72 years. Stay anywhere else. If you can sleep here you’re not alive. The place is right on an all night long drag strip. We asked to be moved to the far end of traffic and were told that the rooms hadn’t been cleaned at 4:00 pm. Refrigerator never turned on and didn’t work. The safety lock was busted off the door. I guess they forgot breakfast and are saving the Kleenex for themselves.
