Don’t waste your time or money. This hotel no longer exists. Hotels.com refuses to remove the listing or refund my money.
We came to the lake for the day. Swimming, hanging out got a room for the night due to drive was a long way back. Room was fine and clean. Service was questioning need for additional blankets due to being cold. I didn’t like that and need breakfast to be included.
The guy at front desk was very nice and helpful. He got us a remote for our TV. Called us at 10am on check out day to remind us checkout was at 11. I guess in case we overslept. Much appreciated.
My nonsmoking room turned out to be a ashtray with no hot water in kitchen or bathroom sink and lukewarm water in the shower and microwave door handle was brokei have sinus problems what a stay that was.

This property is not a motel any more it is being renovated and has been under construction for months according to the builder on site. We received an email confirming our reservation this afternoon, yet when we arrived the sign on the door stated this is no longer a motel. Pathetic vetting by Expedia after paying our deposit. Will Expedia do any about this?
The hotel took my reservation and my money, but after spending 7 hours driving to Heber Springs and to the OYO hotel location, the hotel was closed and nobody would answer the phone. Fortunately i was able to get a room at the hotel down the street but this could have been a huge problem if other hotels had no vacancy. OYO owes me a refund and needs to quit taking reservations on line if the hotel is no longer in existence.

The room was clean-ish the floor going from the bed area to the bathroom was not clean, you could see dirt where one type of flooring ended & the other began. Could see light between the door & the door frame. The curtains were old & had torn spots on the blackout part .
Did not stay. Room was supposed to be non smoking but had a strong odor of smoke . There was a commode sitting on the sidewalk by the room. Checked in looked around checked out and left. Didn't ask for refund but should have. Did not feel safe no chain on inside of door. Sketchy surroundings. Property very run down.

Nightmare!!!
I did not even stay at this property. The parking lot was littered with many broken appliances and trash. The windows on every room were taped completely up. It was a scary place. And also no hotel staff was anywhere to be found, the office was locked and the phone was busy every time I tried to call. Very frustrating experience.
They are in the middle of a renovation, they had all kinds of people there. Folks fighting, smoking drugs outside our room from next door. The door was barely closing coming apart and the bathroom had ashes in the tub and pee in the toilet. We stayed maybe 2 hrs and packed up and left. We spent all we had to get away for what was supposed to be peace and quiet and clean. We wanted a refund but it was no refundable. I want a refund. It was the worse experience we’ve ever had
We stayed here several months ago and it was nice. The room we hot this time is awful. Tub won’t drain. Hair dryer fell off the wall and doesn’t work anyway. Phone doesn’t work. No one will answer my cell phone . No one answers the bell at the office when I went over to ask for a new hair dryer. What a mess.
When we arrived, the hotel was closed. In fact all the furniture, beds, and appliance were in the parking lot. No one was there and a sign in the window said "CLOSED". I called 501-588-1986, the number you listed for OYO and they know nothing about the hotel or its closure. There were 7 other person at this hotel with similar experiences with OYO. Get OYO off your website. I called their "customer service" today. They said they could do nothing about it because I looked through EXPEDIA. OYO said to call Expedia and then OYO representative hung up the phone. Its a Chines company ripping of Americans If OYO remains on your bwesite, I will never book on your again.
