Old Claims We Removed About Conway Hotels
An earlier version of this guide named a Faulkner House Museum and a hotel tied to the author William Faulkner. We found no record of either one in Conway. The real museum in town is the Faulkner County Museum, which tells the story of the county. The museum does not honor the author.
The old text also placed Petit Jean State Park next to Conway. Petit Jean State Park lies in Conway County, on Petit Jean Mountain beside the Arkansas River, according to Wikipedia. Conway County is a different county from Faulkner County, where the city of Conway stands. The park is a fine trip, but Conway cannot claim the park.
We also removed a Conway Riverfront Park playground, a Conway Aquatic Center, and a Cadron Valley Trail. We could not confirm any of them. Finally, we dropped a Wingate by Wyndham listing, because one site shows the hotel with a mismatched link and no second source backs the listing.
Cabins and Camping Near Conway
Woolly Hollow State Park lies less than 30 minutes from Conway, according to Arkansas.com. The same page calls the park a popular mountain biking area. Park cabin and campsite details are not confirmed here. Call the park or check the Arkansas State Parks site before you plan a stay.
Beaverfork Lake also draws visitors. Arkansas.com says the lake has a swimming spot and is popular for fishing, kayaking, and boating. We found no lodging at the lake.
How to Choose a Conway Arkansas Hotel or Motel
Pick by your trip. Travelers who want a fast highway stop should look at the Sanders Road strip near exit 125. Visitors who want the town center, museum, and downtown dining should look at the exit 127 hotels, such as Hilton Garden Inn, Comfort Suites, and Country Inn and Suites.
Families who need a kitchen may like Home2 Suites or Candlewood Suites. Pet owners need extra care, because listings disagree on several hotels. Always ask about pet policies and fees by phone.
Budget travelers can compare the East Oak Street motels with the hotels on Sanders Road. Compare cancellation terms and breakfast hours as well as price. We do not quote rates, because they change every day.

Downtown events such as Toad Suck Daze close streets and limit parking. The event page asks visitors not to park in marked no parking areas. Plan to walk, and ask your hotel about the best route.

We could not confirm phone numbers for most hotels, and we could not confirm check-in times for most of them. We could not read official hotel pages for Hilton, Wyndham, IHG, or Choice properties. Quality Inn and Howard Johnson rest on a single listing. We state no prices. Please call each hotel to confirm details before you book.
