The Best Western Van Buren Inn, at 1903 North 6th Street, offers 56 rooms with refrigerators, microwaves and coffee makers, a free full breakfast, free parking (RV, bus and truck parking available), a gym and a seasonal outdoor pool. Pets are accepted for a fee, and there is an off-leash area. By the booking page, Fort Smith National Historic Site is 12.6 miles away and the Fort Smith Regional Airport is about 15 minutes by car.
A good fit for groups and road-trippers: the parking accommodates larger vehicles, which matters for tour groups and families in RVs who come for the train.
Rooms are practical rather than fancy, with laptop-friendly workspaces and in-room refrigerators and microwaves. A snack bar and vending machine are on site, and there is express check-in.
Like the other Van Buren hotels, it is a short drive from Main Street rather than within walking distance.
