Top Pocola Hotel Reviews

Wyndham Fort Smith City Center

Wyndham Fort Smith City Center

8/10 Good
"The biggest positive of this hotel would be the staff. Everyone that helped us was excellent! We had some questions on our bill and they explained and fixed it right away. The room was very clean. Unfortunately, we did have some ants in the bathroom. The biggest negative was the fact that in an executive king room, there is no microwave and no mini fridge. I really thought those were pretty standard in rooms these days. Had a good experience and definitely wouldn't hesitate to stay here again."
