“CREEPY - NOT AN AMERICAN'S WAY OF LIFE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2010
2
people found this review helpful

I am so thankful my husband and I are not the only people that found this motel strange!!! We had been on our motorcycle for 10 hours and came across, what we thought to be a quaint, quite little motel. WRONG! Our first indication should have been when the owner asked me several questions before he sold me a room - 1) the man standing by the motorcyle, was he my husband? 2) do we drink? 3) do we smoke? 4) preceeded to tell me that he was not a fan of the government or our president. My first impression of this man - he looked like a serial killer. Once I got a room key, we unloaded our bike - personal belongings, cameras, and clothes. The AC was not on and the room was extremely stuffy and hot. We turned on the AC, a couple of lights and the TV. We decided to go to the local Pizza Hut next door for dinner. When we pulled into the parking lot of the motel, @ 9 pm, he was staring out the window at us. Creeped both me and my husband a little. We walked into our room, the light and TV turned off and our stuff rearranged. WE WERE SCARED OUT OF OUR WITS! I had this gut feeling that we needed to leave as soon as possible. At 9:15 p.m., our bike was loaded and we were out of there headed north to Eureka Springs. I have never ever in my entire life been so scared to stay in a motel in a small town or a huge city as I was at the Faubus Motel.

“VACANCY LIGHT ON - SIGN ON DOOR - NO CHECK-IN'S TONIGHT”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2009
1
person found this review helpful

I called to see why no check-ins if the vacancy light was on. The proprieter stood at the window and looked at me while talking on the phone - said we could rent - but would have to leave by 9:00 the next morning - they had "a big meetin' to go to tomorrow." I told him fine, we would go elsewhere. Why didn't he just turn off the vacancy light?? This hotel was our only option in this town - even though reviews were not kind. The other hotel in town was not an option after reading reviews and seeing the place. This could be an absolutely charming place if it was ran as a professional family business. The City of Springdale received my tax dollars. Too bad for Huntsville.

“extremley rude, outragous rules, called the cops, refused to refund cc”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2009
4
people found this review helpful

Was in town looking at real estate, checked in, first clue was the rudeness at check in, grabbed a shower in an old out of date bathroom, that had yellow water first few minutes. waited for a landowner to meet me to discuss terms of a deal at the pizza hut next door. Was at the pizza hut eating when my phone rang and the old fart from deliverance in overalls ( the owner i assume) asked me if anyone was with me, I said yes, after i got over the shock of his calling me, then he proceeded to tell me that no one was allowed there on the property, and that i needed to be in my room 10:00!!! I finished eating, went back to the office, explained that i was a big boy and i would visit whoever i wanted and go to my room whenever i wanted. he then said he was going to call the cops!!! i said fine, i will wait outside. he called , they came, seems it is a regular deal. i requested a refund, he refused. i left, went to springdale, called my cc company and cancled the charges. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!

“Not suitable for Americans”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2008

people found this review helpful

I was staying at the hotel while visiting friends. I happend to be at the hotel the day of the 2008 election. The next day i woke up to see a confederate flag flying outside the motel. I was told the flag was a protest because Obama is 'not our president'. Regardless of who you supported i found this an extremely racist and disturbing act and will not be staying at this hotel EVER again. Besides the flag issue, the rooms were messy and the a/c was broken. NOT RECOMENDED.

“The rudest place in Arkansas!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2007
19
people found this review helpful

We were driving to Branson, MO for a family vacation. I have a 8 month old baby and a 8yr old son.
My 8 yr old son had been in a night time auto accident a few weeks before. He had begged to still go to Branson so we kept our plans.
About 10 pm he got nervous and asked for us to stop for the night.
We were near Hunstville so we pulled in looking for a place. The first place was rude and told us they were booked. The Fabuas place had a note on the door stating their prices (which are high) and saying if you don't like it don't ring!!
When the old man answered the door I asked if he had a room with two beds. He said yes but not for Smokers! (my husband was standing outside the truck smoking).
I told the man he would not smoke in the room and that I had two kids that just wanted to go to sleep. He told me to bad!
When I turn around and told my husband over the truck running.
The inn keeper told us he had people sleeping and to leave before he called the cops!

Stayed October 2007
