I was in town for a class reunion. Looked at places to stay from Jonesboro to Batesville & Scercy. Since I would be out late at night and it had been many years since I lived in town I decided upon encouragement form Friends to stay here. I was not disappointed. The room was very clean & cleaned daily. Sheets & Towels refreshed daily. 32" Cable TV, Nice Clock radio that worked and was set to the correct time. Microwave & Mini fridge in room. Mini-fridge keep my soft drink nice and cool. Heat & A/C worked well. King sized bed.

I would have liked more pillows (3 regular sized) but I did not ask. When i asked for extra towels I got them quickly. I hung the DND sign on the door and was not disturbed by housekeeping.

Location right on main drag in town, on site bar & pool table, Swimming pool (closed for the year), Ice, soft drink machine across the parking lot. Brand new Business Center & Work out facility with WiFi for guest use.

The Hotel & Inn offered a continental breakfast which I did not partake of. Close ( less than 1 mile) to all fast food places in town.

For a nice comfortable, safe & secure place to spend a couple days in town it was a very good value for the service rendered.

Stayed last month for business with some colleagues. If you like noise while trying to sleep, ants, hair on the bathroom floor and bed, dirty toilets, and a tv that sometimes works, then this is the place to be. When we complained to the owner, he said we have the option to stay someplace else in the town??? huh, what does that mean? How does this old man stay in business with that attitude was beyond me and my colleagues. My company will never stay here again.

The Fortune Inn is an economy motel - think Motel 6 or similar. It was probably a big-name chain location in the past. Although recently remodeled (probably in the last 3 or 4 years), it's still a little rough around the edges. Housekeeping keeps it clean but don't expect fancy. Towels are rough, mattress was thin and hard. We had a king room and it was large and roomy but the furniture was very low grade. Continental breakfast was typical of most motels. About half the buttons on the TV remote didn't work. The worst part was the heater/ac. We visited in the winter and the heater was incredibly loud. It vibrated the wall so bad you had to turn up the TV. I reported it to the front desk and they claimed to have a maintenance person look at it, but it was the same the remaining two nights we stayed. We finally just turned it off when we went to bed so we could get some sleep even though the room got cold. I might stay there again, but I would demand another room next time.

Everyone at this motel were very friendly and helpful. Will stay there again, and will spread the word. This is the place to stay in Newport.
