Ozark Inn

For the price we paid, and given the reviews of the other locations, this is a good deal. We were very pleasantly surprised when we entered the room! Normally I despise hotels in which the door leads to the outside (as opposed to within a building). Though I still don’t prefer them, I didn’t even notice this. The air unit was loud enough that it drowned out the noise of the highway.
The bed and pillows were comfortable, the room was cozy, it had a microwave and fridge. I was more than content for the time spent in the room. It’s not a place to relax and hang out, but it wasn’t bad at all.
The staff were unfriendly but not rude — just to the point. I think they must live there, because both times we felt like we woke up the employee who helped us.
Breakfast wasn’t much, but coffee, muffins and bananas were more than enough. I’ll return if we revisit Mena.
QUICK TIP: If you visit the convenience store next door, check the expiration dates!!! We were shocked at the prices, then had the thought to check dates. Some were expired as far as two years back.

Good for a short overnight stay: clean, safe, and well kept. There is satellite TV and a small pool – I didn’t use it. The location is fine but it’s about five minutes to Walmart as compared to other inns which are much closer. Breakfast is from 6 – 9 and consists of donuts and coffee (don’t get your hopes up). Shower was clean but the water temperature fluctuated quite a bit.
