Cedar Falls Motel

Pros: - On Petit Jean Mountain - Quiet; peaceful - Owners are patient and kind. - A/C worked great. - Bedsheets were clean. - Plenty of towels. - Water pressure in shower was fabulous. - Older model motel with original tile in bathroom (I hate the cookie cutter chain hotels.) - Rooms have mini-fridge, small microwave, some type of coffee pot (one room had small; one room had full-sized.) - Not too far from Morrilton, Ark. - Has a pool. Cons (some of these cannot be helped, but just listing them as an fyi): - Although rooms are surface clean, they badly need a good sweep. Baseboards in room and bathroom have not been swept in awhile. Even my teens commented that they were dirty. - Some of our mattesses were very "hollowed out" from wear and were uncomfortable, and box springs extremely old. - Some outside elements just a little shabby and need repair/replaced. - Price a bit too much for the quality of the room.

This is an older motel that has been renovated as best as an older motel can be. Room was clean. Bed was clean. Pool water was clean, but the pool wall and pool area could use a little cleaning; trash pick up, etc. The grounds were beautiful and grass was nicely mowed. Air conditioner in room worked great. Hostess was very friendly and helpful. Area is quiet and peaceful. For the price, I would stay again.

Our room was flooded when we arrived. The office staff (one man- very nice and apologetic) was gone when we tried to tell him only minutes after checking in. He moved us to a room that was okay, but said he would move us back to the "cottage". We said "no, thank you" because we did not want to unpack, pack, and unpack again. The refrigerator was nice. Towels were clean. Everything else is dirty, rustic, cheap. Price is WAY too high for such primitive accommodations. We were extremely uncomfortable because the room was hot and it had a window unit. The "cottage" has a window unit as well. A/C was VERY loud and hard to sleep. The swimming pool should have been open because it was 83 degrees and we were sweating after a short hike.

My adult daughter and I came to hike Petit Jean and stayed here four nights from Sept. 28-Oct 3. Room is normal motel room. Air conditioning, toilet, shower with hot water, mini-fridge and microwave all work. Beds (2) comfortable with lots of pillows. Internet was not available nor was WI-FI. Needed to drive out to an overlook like the Palisades to get anything. Pool water was cold and refreshing. Lots of towels. Congenial and willing management. We spent little time in the room. Out hiking every day. This is not a luxury accommodation. We ate our evening meal at the Lodge in the State Park down the road. Beautiful sunsets. Great hikes in the mountains though drought takes away falls and creeks along trails.

Hosts were friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable, convenient to everything on the mountain. We were unable to take advantage of all amenities due to the weather (i.e. firepit, charcoal grill, etc.)
