Food and Drink Options

Start your day with a continental breakfast served near the lobby—great for late risers after a show. While there’s no restaurant on-site, there are several casual eateries within walking or short driving distance. For anything late-night, delivery apps and nearby fast-food spots are your best bet.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar, you’re just a short drive from Bentonville’s downtown scene, where local bars and lounges often host bands and DJs. Fayetteville, with its bigger venues and nightlife, is about 25 minutes away and worth the trip if you’re chasing after the full concert experience.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the rooms are a bit basic in decor, and there’s no elevator—which can be tricky if you’re hauling gear or luggage. While the area is quiet, it’s not walkable to nightlife, so plan on having a car or rideshare app handy.
