The room was comfortable, the shower needed repairs but still workable. The staff were amazing and attentive. We were staying for a family funeral and it was easily accessible to church, funeral home and family. We would stay again when seeing family in area.

The staff at this hotel is excellent so kind so friendly. The lobby is beautiful. Note that this hotel does have some wear and tear, but it is *well worth* the value and the service. I would stay here again! It is a former holiday Inn express.
The room was very clean and roomy. The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The hotel smelled nice and clean. Will definitely stay again!
This my 2nd stay at the Arc, I really like the comfort zone and the super nice staff. Nicely remodeled, close to everything I need and very clean. I will gladly stay there the next time I'm in town.
