Love this quaint little one story horseshoe style motel. Check in was quick & easy, owner was very accommodating. The room was nice, cool, clean & well stocked. We got a king room, it was vey cramped! the bed was way too tall a 2 step stool ( provided ) to get in & out which proved challenging for night trips to the bathroom, & there was no room for a table & chair. Being a smoker I did appreciate having a table & chair as well as ashtray bucket, which you very seldom find. It was nice & quiet in the evening as well.Would definitely reccomend for short stays.

Comfort near the River
Very friendly, helpful owners who like their guests! Comfortable bed, great heating, good TV-streaming selection, defrosted mini-fridge (!), clean microwave, surprisingly well-supplied/equipped for an older property. Pristine swimming pool with deck chairs, safe parking, quiet, convenient right off the highway, close to Current River activities. Convenient espresso coffee shop onsite.

Room was clean and couldn’t hear anyone partying outside even tho they were.I liked it and would have done a straight 5 star on all except for there wasn’t a closet to hang clothes and the bed was too high. It was a good bed just too high for me and I’m 5’7”.

Van Buren Stay
One of the few inns in the area, this stop has become one that I frequent on business trips. The rooms are super comfortable, and the price is within my allowed traveling budget. Beds have well enough sheets to keep a soul from freezing in the night which is more than I can say for most of the other hotels I frequent with similar price ranges. Staff is very friendly. They don’t offer a breakfast, which isn’t really a big deal for me since my company will take care of that somewhere else, but something travelers should be aware of. Would recommend.
