We love the location of this property. It was recently remodeled and is very cosy. Decent cost and walkable to the Casino. Very nice staff and very accommodating. Pet friendly.
Everything was fine; it served our purposes making a 2000 mile journey quite well. The only drawback was an 18-wheeler parked close to our room. Refrigeration compressors made quite a bit of noise throughout the night.
You pay for fancy lobbies or pools or free breakfast in big chain hotels where they lack character and are not at all convenient to check in or unload luggage.plus you CC pay for the amenities you often don’t need or use.
Walnut Inn was impeccably clean. Seems recently renovated top notch. Beds are comfortable. You can back up to your door to offload luggage. Lobby and grounds very well kept and appealing. Diner is in same parking lot. Gas station across street. I-40 is short distance. Close to downtown Fort Smith but still feels like you’re in country. We booked room for family visit. Booked initially for 3 days but when I saw room and location booked for full week.i never got tired of our room as it was twice size of most hotel rooms.
The property was very clean, looks recently remodeled.
The staff was very friendly.
A restaurant was within walking distance.
Will definitely stay there again.
I spent a night as I was driving through to my destination. The place looks fresh and recently updated. The housecleaning personnel that I interacted with were friendly and cheerful. It seemed to me that there is a lot of pride in the way they keep the place clean. I would definitely consider a stay here if I'm in the area again.
The owners are so nice. They make you feel at home. The room was great. We stayed in #16 The All-American. It was like a small apartment. Very clean. If we ever come back this way, we will stay there again.

AC leaked and my bag and contents were all wet. Otherwise ok.
Location was excellent. Staff was good and supportive but the room were not very good, they were clean and tidy but amenities in room such as some light were not functioning. I had to figure out how tv will work, tv remote was not wotking and the managing staff was not available. However, after some time I figured out and then the stay was smooth. Not bad…. But not excellent, it is stayable (if that is a word 😉).
I stayed at this hotel for a night on the road based on the wonderful reviews. Unfortunately, I awoke to bed bug bites all over my torso. So disgusting.
