Absolutely Sleazy Hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/24/09
Howard Johnson Hotel - 101 North 11th street - Fort Smith, Arkansas. This is one of the sleaziest hotels in which I have stayed. It is in a bad part of Fort Smith with numerous bail bond offices nearby. The hotel is open to the streets on three sides - most rooms are external entry. The attitude of the restaurant staff and front desk is one of thinly veiled contempt for guests. They are generally arrogant and unfriendly. Food in the restaurant is bad. I waited 35 minutes on a slow Friday night for a BLT and fries. No apology or explanation from the surly waitress who eventually served them.
