You might also think if your life is hard you would stay in a better so called luxury 4 or 5 star hotel but they may not have the room or food, so it's better to save a lot money. I would also advise against paying hotel maids and cleaners if you are traveling with them on long vacations.
You should try to get your expenses covered as well, because in some cases these people may earn money from you. If you do this, you can get a discount. It's really not necessary for anyone that's doing it but you'll feel so much better about yourself because you're not being paid extra to make sure your guest is treated fairly and in good times.
The lowest price for inn is not always the best choice. A good example illustrating the scale of the problem with the cheapest inns in Fort Smith can be found here. Fort Smith also has a variety of hotels and motels, and today I will try to give you some tips about cheap lodging.
As a experienced blogger and traveler I spent months in different hotels and inns all around the US. If you are planning to visit New Mexican, then you should book this bed and breakfast with a real bed. This particular inn is owned and operated by a wonderful man by the name of Bob. He opened his hotel in a small town that has no restaurants or shops and you will be amazed how much you can eat at this place.
Don’t eat out of this. He personally cooks most of the meals including breakfast and lunch.
What you should get is the homemade breads and a simple fruit salad for breakfast. Dinner is really good, especially the chicken casserole and for desert try the banana pudding or apple crisp with a big scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream. You will be surprised how good this place is. The rooms are a little bit old and a little bit small, but they’re quite comfortable and have a fridge.
Bob told me about other hotels that are more expensive but if you want to save money than consider staying there. It is located in Gallup, New Mexico, about 100 miles outside of Santa Fe with excellent and easy access to main highways and is about 22 miles from the Navajo Indian Reservation (which has awesome casinos) and 45 miles from the White Sands Missile Range if you like to leave Fort Smith and move further South.

I have stayed in countless motels throughout the years. But my experience at Magnolia Inn Motel was one that left me feeling incredibly frustrated and outraged. It all started when my girlfriend and I arrived at the hotel after a long road trip. We were eager to check-in and get some much-needed rest, but we were met with a line of guests snaking around the front desk. It was as if we had stumbled into a government agency on tax day - the wait was excruciatingly long!
We stood there for what felt like hours (in reality, it was closer to 30 minutes) as the staff struggled to process each guest's reservation. I could feel my blood pressure rising with every passing second, but I tried to remain calm and polite. After all, we were guests in their establishment, and I didn't want to cause a scene. But as the minutes ticked by, my patience began to wear thin. My girlfriend started fidgeting and looking at her watch, and I could sense that she was just as annoyed as I was. We had places to be, things to do - we couldn't afford to waste any more time standing in this never-ending line!
Eventually, we were called up to the front desk, where a harried-looking clerk handed us our keys and a map of the area. As we made our way to our room, I couldn't help but notice the worn carpets and outdated decor. It was clear that this place hadn't seen an update in decades - a fact that only added to my mounting frustration. But what really set me over the edge was today's news. In light of recent events, I can't help but wonder how Magnolia Inn Motel is handling their COVID-19 protocols. Are they requiring masks and social distancing in common areas? Are they regularly sanitizing high-touch surfaces? As someone who values my health and safety, these are questions that need to be answered - and I'm disappointed that the hotel hasn't made this information readily available. All in all, my experience at Magnolia Inn Motel was a deeply frustrating one. From the long lines at check-in to the outdated amenities and lack of COVID-19 transparency, there were simply too many red flags for me to feel comfortable staying here again.

As I step into Garden Lodge, memories from my last visit flood back. The lush greenery, the fragrance of blooming flowers, and the soothing sound of a nearby fountain all transport me back to my last stay with my husband, finance. But this time, our anticipation is tinged with apprehension, as we recall the long lines at the front desk during our previous visit. We approach the reception area, and our anxiety grows as we see a snaking queue forming right in front of us. Our hearts sink as we realize that the delay will undoubtedly affect our schedule for the day. We exchange disheartened glances and hope that things will not take too long this time around. As minutes pass by, the line shows no signs of reducing, and I can feel my patience wearing thin. My husband tries to reassure me, pointing out the serene surroundings, but his words seem like a feeble attempt to mask our growing frustration. The tension in the air is palpable as we watch other guests fidget and roll their eyes in annoyance. Finally, after what feels like an eternity, it's our turn at the front desk. I try to remain calm and polite as I present my ID and credit card. But inside, I am seething with anger and disappointment. My husband notices the change in my demeanor and tries to put a brave face, but I can see the same unease etched on his features. As we are handed our keys and shown to our rooms, I can't help but wonder if Garden Lodge will ever learn to manage its crowds better. The delay has left us with less time for sightseeing and exploring the nearby attractions. We both share a rueful smile as we head up the stairs, silently acknowledging that this isn't quite the peaceful retreat we had hoped for. Today, as I read about the ongoing protests in the city over a recent development project, I can't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for Garden Lodge. The hotel might be facing similar issues with overcrowding and traffic congestion around its premises. As tourists like us continue to flock to this picturesque location, it's high time that the authorities take note of the situation and find sustainable solutions to alleviate the burden on the local community. In conclusion, Garden Lodge is a beautiful place, but its reputation as a tranquil oasis is marred by the constant influx of visitors. It's time for the hotel management to devise innovative strategies to manage crowds better and provide a more seamless experience to their guests. Otherwise, they might find themselves losing out on repeat customers like us, who crave a peaceful getaway amidst the chaos of modern-day living.

I have seen my fair share of healthcare facilities, both good and bad. However, my recent stay at Stonewall Jackson Inn left me feeling disappointed and disillusioned. Let me paint a picture for you - it was November, the leaves had started to change color, and the air was crisp with autumn's bite. I was looking forward to a peaceful retreat, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But little did I know that my tranquility would be shattered by the deafening noise coming from my neighbors. At first, it was just a few whispers and murmurs. I assumed it was just the wind or my imagination running wild. But as the night progressed, the noise escalated to a crescendo of banging, shouting, and slamming doors. It felt like I was in the middle of a rave party, complete with strobe lights and thumping bass. I tried to ignore it at first, hoping that they would eventually wind down, but it seemed as though they were determined to keep me up all night long. I could sense my blood pressure rising with each passing moment. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my ears were ringing from the constant noise. I tried to call the front desk, but there was no answer. It was as if they had vanished into thin air. I felt like a prisoner in my own room, trapped by the noise and the darkness that engulfed me. As I lay there, wide awake and fuming with anger, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of people would choose to stay at a place like this. Are they aware of the noise level? Do they not care about their fellow guests' peace and quiet? Or are they simply oblivious to the fact that they are disturbing others? It's hard to say, but one thing is clear - Stonewall Jackson Inn has some serious issues with noise control. And let me tell you, this isn't the first time I've encountered such problems at this establishment. In fact, it seems like a recurring theme. The last time I stayed here, in July, I had to endure similar noise disturbances. It's almost as if they're deliberately trying to drive their guests away. Speaking of driving people away, have you heard about the latest news making headlines today? A millennial who made $225,000 secretly working 2 remote jobs has decided to give up overemployment. According to him, "the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. It's a fascinating read, and it got me thinking about my own experiences at Stonewall Jackson Inn. Is it possible that this place is simply not worth the hassle? The noise, the lack of customer service, the inconsistency - are they all signs of a bigger problem lurking beneath the surface?
In any case, I'm done with Stonewall Jackson Inn. I won't be returning here anytime soon. And if you're planning on staying here, I'd advise you to pack some earplugs and a sleeping mask - you'll need them if you want to get any rest. As for me, I'm off to find a quieter, more peaceful place to stay - one that won't leave me feeling like a prisoner in my own room.
