Scottish Inns Jonesboro AR — Hotel in Jonesboro

Don't stay here. You WILL regret it. Pictures of the building on the site are old. This place is quite rundown, and in total disrepair. We were in town for a trade show, and booked 3 rooms. Very old, smelly and obviously had smokers who had stayed there. My room was no smoking and still had an ashtray in it. One of our members had to clean her bathroom herself before she felt comfortable to use it. There were also some very "sketchy" people staying there. At 5:30am on Saturday morning a woman was pounding on one of the doors, screaming and demanding to be let into the room because her husband had apparently spent the night there with another woman. On Saturday afternoon, at around 5PM my team wanted to meet in the lobby to discuss our plans for the show. The owner told us we could not meet there and when I questioned him he said that it was for conducting business for the hotel, not for guests to conduct meetings. He knew we were all guests, we were all in business attire, so he knew we weren't bums, yet he was still rude, insolent and condescending. There also really isn't a breakfast. They have watered-down coffee and "little Debbie" individually wrapped tiny, nasty-looking cinnamon rolls....

Don't waste your time or money here. We stayed only because it was almost 1am and we were still 4 hours from home and needed a place to sleep. The only positive things I can say is that the beds were fairly comfortable and our sheets were clean and the air conditioner worked very well. Now for the negatives--- the light in the bathroom would not come on, the floor was dirty, the towel rack came out of the wall when you touched it. There was mildew on the shower curtain and there was a twist tie with part of the metal showing that I stepped on. My husband wanted to get them to move us to another room when we discovered the light broken but I was too tired to go fight with them so we made do. Upon checkout I took the thing I stepped on to the desk and told them what happened and that they must not clean the room very well. The guy there just said ok. I told him all the other things that were wrong and told him they need to get it fixed because I would be posting a review on tripadvisor. I wish I would have been able to read the reviews before I stayed because I would have kept on driving. I took pictures of the room so everyone could see what they are...

For someone in need of a "basic" room to Stay the night, I don't think you can beat the Scottish Inns. Rooms have all the necessities, clean, and comfortable. No, there's no "free" (baked into the price of your room) Breakfast, grandiose lobbies filled with furniture no one ever sits on, mints on your pillow, and what other nonsense that makes even "economy" rooms so expensive these days.

I felt secure and didn't feel like the room was gross or anything. Did it have extra soap/shampoo/every toiletry conceivable "just in case" you forgot something? No! But, that's ok...stocking rooms with that stuff adds costs and I usually plan/pack well for my travels. If I do forget something, there's always a Wal-Mart nearby. Location was a little away from what I was doing in town, but then again, there were really NO places to stay close to where I was going, so I can't even ding them too much for that.

People giving this place a low rating...I don't know what you are expecting for a Place that's charging roughly HALF the price of the next cheapest place in town?!? I wish more towns like Jonesboro had a similar place to stay as the...
