Queen of Diamonds Inn

Look, the staff is mostly friendly and the rooms are more or less clean. But the fact is that this motel is the chief inn for tourists looking to explore the state park, for which Arkansas is arguably most famous for. With that being said, this inn is NOT at par level for 2015.
1) The Wi-​Fi. Oh goodness, the WiFi. Terrible. Atrocious. All but nonexistent. Good luck finding internet when the WiFi is not connecting and your cellular provider isn’t available.
2) The «breakfast» is so badly prepared and badly hidden from the store bought labels. Also there’s the fact that there’s no room for people to move around in the breakfast room! Very poor.
3) The pool is badly kept and the water is oddly revolting.
4) The rooms still have the same square TVs they had 15 years ago. The only difference is that the cable is somehow worse and malfunctions to the point of hopelessness.
5) They don’t provide proper soaps and shampoos.
6) I get the literal room «keys», but do they have to be in such poor shape?
7) The hours of the people at front office is downright lazy.
Overall, the place is outrageously primitive, and has no place in the 21^st century for tourists of the great Southwestern Arkansas landscape.

We arrived in Murfreesboro Saturday evening, after a long day in Little Rock. After pricing the other two motels along the main drag, we decided the extra $ 10 ($ 89 for a double) for the Queen of Diamonds was the best choice.
We took an evening dip in the pool before it closed. It was clean and refreshing. The other guests were pleasant. The entire evening had a friendly, homey atmosphere.
Our rooms were clean and, honestly, larger than the Holiday Inn’s room we had stayed in while in Little Rock.
In the morning, a full continental breakfast was provided. Again, all of the guests seemed to gather together and share their stories. It was like a morning with old friends.
The Queen of Diamond is, by definition, a motel. However, it has that great b&b feel that many crave while visiting a small town!
