What guests think

Reviews of Holiday Inn Express & Suites Forrest City by IHG highlight very clean, modern-feeling rooms and a popular complimentary breakfast, plus convenient highway access and family‑friendly touches like a heated indoor pool.

Some travelers mention firm mattresses, occasional noise, and sporadic in‑room maintenance issues. Renovation work has been present at times, causing lobby clutter or construction noise, and a few noted the elevators needed attention and parking can feel limited. Service feedback is mixed, with many friendly interactions alongside instances of untrained or unresponsive front desk staff and billing or reservation confusion. Expect a straightforward, comfortable stopover.

May 30, 2024, overnight. Check in, breakfast, lobby areas being remodeled. Big mess! Breakfast was in a converted meeting room. Walked down the hall as tile was being installed. Set up was fair. But no fruit juice. Our room though was perfect except for toilet paper nearly out with no back-up. Went to lobby to get a roll. Also, the toilet seat was very loose. An INCONVIENCE credit should be made! Normal rate was used. REPLY?

It was in process of remodel but our room had been completed. Very nice! Good style and comfort. The other aspects of remodel did not interfere with our stay at all. Breakfast had good variety. They did not have individual coffee pots in room but fresh brewed was available in lobby 24/7. I am a big coffee drinker but did not mind that switch to cut down on waste. Fresh baked cookies were available in lobby as well. There are not a lot of restaurants in town that are open in evening. Some fast food chains.

The pool was initially cold when we looked at it and there was a fan blowing which made it colder. I asked the front desk if the pool could be heated more. She asked maintenance and they did turn it up.

Have not stayed in Holiday Inn in years. This was the best hotel stay I’ve experienced in years! So quiet and peaceful and CLEAN, even so close to the highways. The stairwells were carpeted and well lighted (I like to walk stairs). Staff helped me fill my water flasks easily. Everyone was friendly and respectful! Will consider these hotels in the future.

We stayed at a Holiday Inn Express on the way to our vacay, and it was so good that we looked for another to stay at on the way home. When reading hotel reviews online, it’s easy to become confused by such good and bad reviews, so it’s a relief to know that Holiday Inn Expess is a sure thing! Very clean rooms, good water pressure, excellent breakfast (with really crispy bacon!) and friendly staff. Couldn’t have asked for better.

I love staying in this hotel when I’m traveling through on my way to Tennessee. It is super clean, friendly staff, and rooms are cozy. The only critique is the beds are quite firm, I did like the fact that both firm and soft pillow options are given. The breakfast here is also a good one with plenty of options. My favorite is the cinnamon rolls. I will keep staying here on my way to Tennessee, even though the bed might be a bit firm for my liking.

The rooms are so spacious compared to the typical hotel room. The kids have room to move and plenty of space for a crib. The other famiky we are traveling with has 3 kids making the couch a necessity to keep the family together versus most hotels automatically splitting them to two rooms.

Rooms were clean and very spacious. We travel with a twin air mattress and had plenty of room for that. Room was quiet. Ac worked great. Pool was a hit after sitting in the car all day. Indoor hallways. Parking lot clean. Bathroom was spacious, shower needed some hardware updates, starting to show some wear. Bathroom sink has plenty of water pressure so watch out! In room microwave worked well for our microwave dinners. There's a good size fridge too.

Spacious room and very busy hotel. Lots of people, including a bus load that arrived right AFTER me! Our room had plenty of space, was up to date with furnishings and equipment to include having USB-C outlets. Coffee is available 24-7 with machines that grind bean when with the push of a button. So, all good here and I recommend it.

Room was not ready for check in at 7:30pm. We needed 4 set of towels, only had 3. No big deal to call and request more. We did call and request more. Noticed the soap dispenser for shower was out also. So requested soap for shower later as well. Never received either item, no towels and no bath soap. 2 different phone calls and never received.

The front desk staff wasn't trained to handle an orbitz reservation and said the CC was denied and it wasn't my card. I spent 30 minutes trying to check in and finally she said her manager would fix it tomorrow. Just a very frustrating situation and no one seemed to know what to do. One was terrified and the other didn’t care and offered no help to the new employee.

Check in was perfect. A very kind young lady welcomed us to the hotel. Breakfast before departure was excellent. But that's where the accolades stop. We stayed Christmas Eve into Christmas Day and it was obvious from the parking lot that the hotel was probably less than 10% filled - yet we were jammed down into one section of the fourth floor with several other guests. About 1:30 a.m. a fight or party broke out somewhere near our room and continued with yelling, screaming, loud TV, etc. up until about 3:30 a.m....ONE HOUR BEFORE WE HAD TO GET UP. Your hotel plainly has a QUIET TIME 10 p.m. sign posted, yet no hotel employee made any attempt to quieten down the loud partiers. At one point my wife said she honestly feared t here was a dead body because of the screaming and things being thrown against the wall...then the LOUD TELEVISION. We will likely never stay again at an IHG facility if this is standard. Upon checking out and leaving not one person asked about our stay and acted like they cared that we were there. That's $118.73 I feel was pretty much wasted because of the lack of sleep and aggravation. It is likely I'll not use Hotels.com again if this is the type of place you recommend and endorse.

It was a convenient property to stay at right off the interstate. The staff was excellent in helping to find a park nearby to explore. There was some road noise from highway and it was a little bright in room from outside lighting since curtains didn't completely close. Also pancake machine for breakfast was acting up.
