Cedar Falls Motel

We had a long drive from Arlington Texas because of the rain and traffic. Was hoping for a nice room when we got there, we were very disappointed. The room smelled musty, the carpet was dirty, some type of water or pee spots and old. The sheets did not look clean, no coffee decanter, there was the actual coffee maker but no pot. I requested to charge a different CC instead of using our debit card, she said no problem. Well our debit card was charged instead of regular credit card I wanted to use. The was comfortable and the shower was good. I did bring my own sheet cover and blanket. No place to hang out clothes except if you want to use a rod next to the water heater. The place was run down and desperate need of new everything. It was not clean to me, some small droppings found behind the bathroom door. My husband was even disappointed, he rarely has bad things to say about the places we stay. I should have taken pictures.

Very close to Petit Jean State Park. Room was very clean.

Close to Petit Jean State Park and it is dog friendly. They have a huge area that you can let your pet run.

We were right on the mountain, which our goal in picking this place. It was very clean and there were plenty of towels. There was a refrigerator and microwave and a small place to eat. It’s an older place and not very fancy or luxurious, but very peaceful and comfortable. My only complaint is after a long a day of hiking there was not enough hot water for both of us to finish a shower. We would stay here again.

Convenient.Peaceful..

The room was clean. But could use a new paint and new carpet

Great location

Quiet and Comfortable for a night stay on Petit Jean Mt.

The property was built in 1957. Therefore it is old. However it's like stepping into an old classic movie. Bathroom fixtures were new, appliances were new, bed was comfortable. So if plush isnt required, its a nice quiet & safe place to stay. However the worst part was check in. Which gives you a negative & frustrating first impression. No one was in the office upon our arrival at 3:15, even tho check in time said 3 pm. There is a sign on the door that says if no one in the office call this number. But there is no cell service at the resort unless on wifi. We had to leave the property to locate a place with a land line that allowed us to make a phone call. Once we made the call, we were told our room was ready and unlocked with key in the door. It was unlocked with a key on the table inside. We were told that office personnel was over an hour away from lodge.This frustration could have been resolved 2 different ways. If the note on the door would have included wifi password to use if cell coverage wasnt available, we would have been in our room within 5 min. But the best form of communication should have been sent via email or text on the day of arrival that our room (give room number) would be open & waiting on us at 3 pm. I hope they will incorporate one or both of these ideas for future guest. I would stay there again even after this fiasco because we enjoyed the stay. I would call prior to driving up the mtn for check in instructions.

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.
