Crossett Hotels: Where to Stay in Arkansas

Hotels in Crossett, Arkansas are few, and several names on older travel lists no longer match the town. Crossett is a small Ashley County city built around a paper mill and a lumber history. You can book a Tru by Hilton, two older motels, a few budget inns, a vacation rental, or an RV site. We could not find a Hampton Inn, Comfort Suites, Holiday Inn Express, Super 8, or Days Inn in Crossett, so we dropped them. This guide covers the hotels and motels we could confirm, flags the gaps, and shows how to pick a base near the Felsenthal refuge. We do not quote rates because rates change daily.

Hotels in Crossett, Arkansas: What We Could Confirm

Tru by Hilton Crossett

Tru by Hilton is the best reviewed chain hotel we found in town. The address is 920 Unity Road, Crossett, AR 71635. Hotel guide sites describe a midscale, smoke-free hotel with 82 rooms on four floors.

Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at noon, according to the Expedia listing. The hotel lists a free daily breakfast, an outdoor pool with a hot tub, free Wi-Fi, free parking, a fitness center, a business center, a 24-hour market, a game area with a pool table, and an electric vehicle charging station. Hotel guide sites say the pool is seasonal, so ask about pool dates before you pack swimsuits.

Pet rules differ between sources. Expedia says dogs and cats are welcome. One hotel guide says pets are not allowed. Call the front desk before you bring an animal. The listing says the pool, parking, gym, and registration desk are wheelchair accessible.

Pick Tru by Hilton if you want breakfast, a pool, and a modern room.

Check-in starts at 3:00 PM. Check-out is at 11:00 AM on Expedia and at noon on Priceline, so confirm the time when you book. Expedia sets a minimum check-in age of 21.

Guest reviews on both sites mention cleanliness and dated rooms. We cannot judge the rooms ourselves, so read recent reviews and call the front desk before you pay. Pets are welcome on both listings, but fees apply. Ask about the pet fee at booking.

Pick the Ashley Inn if you want a simple room close to the main hotel cluster and you are willing to check recent reviews first.

Americas Best Value Inn Crossett

Listings place Americas Best Value Inn at 1400 South Dr. Martin Luther King Drive in Crossett. AllStays gives the phone as 870-364-4101. AllStays lists the street as South Florida Street with the same number, so confirm the exact address before you drive there.

Kayak also notes room service, a 24-hour front desk, and kitchenette rooms.

The property does not appear on the Hotels.com list for Crossett, and guest reviews on Kayak are few. We treat this property as unconfirmed. Call the number above to check the motel still takes bookings.

The Trieschmann House

The Trieschmann House is a vacation rental at 707 Cedar Street, Crossett, AR 71635. The Airbnb listing describes a restored historic home from 1903 with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The listing says the home sleeps 16 or more guests with extra bedding, and the home has a full kitchen, a dishwasher, a washer, Wi-Fi, and free parking.

This home suits a family reunion, a wedding party, or a work crew who wants a kitchen. Check house rules and the sleeping arrangements on the booking page. The host had only a short hosting history on the listing, so read recent guest reviews.

Switzer Cabins

The iExit travel guide lists Switzer Cabins at 1714 Highway 82 West in Crossett. We found no second source, no phone number, and no amenity list. Treat this entry as unconfirmed. Search for the cabins by name and call before you plan a stay there.

Crossett Harbor RV Park

Campers can call Crossett Harbor RV Park at 870-415-9635. The Arkansas tourism site lists the park on Highway 82. A campground guide describes shaded paved sites with picnic tables and grills, some waterfront sites, electric and water hookups, and a public boat ramp next door. The guide says tents and pets are welcome.

The park sits in a swamp setting inside the Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge near the Ouachita and Saline rivers. The guide limits sewer hookups to full-time residents. Ask about site rates, seasons, and flood or water level closures when you call.

Where to Stay in Crossett: Hotels on Unity Road and Highway 133

Crossett has two main lodging clusters. Tru by Hilton and the Ashley Inn sit on Unity Road. The Hollywood Motel and the Levee Inn sit on Highway 133 North. The Americas Best Value Inn lies on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive.

Motels in Crossett, Arkansas

Crossett has more motels than full-service hotels. The Hollywood Motel, the Levee Inn, the Ashley Inn, and the Americas Best Value Inn all fit this group. Motel rooms usually offer a bed, a bath, a television, and little else.

Ask each motel five things before you pay. Ask for the total with taxes and fees. Ask about pets. Ask about late arrival hours. Ask whether the room has a refrigerator and a microwave. Ask for a written confirmation. Small towns have few rooms, so a full house leaves no backup nearby.

Things to Do Near Crossett Hotels

Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge covers about 76,000 acres roughly 8 miles west of Crossett, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Ouachita and Saline rivers and the Felsenthal Pool shape the refuge. Staff list more than 1,150 plant and animal species. The refuge offers hunting and fishing, and the agency asks visitors to check water levels before a trip. Water levels can decide whether a road or a boat ramp is usable.

The Crossett Experimental Forest lies about 6.8 miles south of Crossett off Highway 133, according to Wikipedia. The Crossett Lumber Company gave the land to the U.S. Forest Service in 1934. The forest covers 1,680 acres and supports research on loblolly pine. We did not find public visiting hours, so contact the Forest Service before you go.

Lake Georgia Pacific lies in Ashley County, about 10 miles from Crossett. The lake is shallow, with an average depth of eight feet.

The Encyclopedia of Arkansas also lists the Crossett Municipal Auditorium and a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association rodeo among town attractions. Ashley County lists the Armadillo Festival and the Wiggins Cabin Festival. Check dates before you book a room, because events fill small motels.

Old Hotel Names We Dropped

The earlier version of this guide listed Hampton Inn, Comfort Suites, Holiday Inn Express and Suites, Super 8 by Wyndham, and Days Inn in Crossett. None of these brands appeared in the Hotels.com, Expedia, AllStays, or iExit lodging lists we checked for the town. We removed them.

The old guide also named a Mississippi River park and camping at Lake Chicot State Park as Crossett options. Crossett does not sit on the Mississippi River, and we found no evidence of these places in town. We removed them too. If a booking site shows one of these names for Crossett, treat the listing as stale and call to verify.

How to Choose a Hotel in Crossett, Arkansas

Families and travelers who want breakfast should start with Tru by Hilton. The free breakfast, the pool, and the game area give children room to spend energy.

Pet owners must call first. Sources disagree on the Tru pet rule. The Ashley Inn and the Levee Inn list pets as welcome. The Hollywood Motel lists no pets. The Americas Best Value Inn lists limits on pet size.

Large groups should look at the Trieschmann House. A kitchen and extra beds help a group of friends or relatives.

Contractors and work crews should check the Levee Inn for truck parking and the Americas Best Value Inn for kitchenette rooms. Confirm both by phone.

Campers and anglers should call Crossett Harbor RV Park and watch the refuge water levels.

Before you pay, confirm the property name on the building, the cancellation policy, parking, and the front desk hours for late arrivals. Compare the total with taxes on two booking sites and by phone.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We checked Tru by Hilton against Expedia, Hotels.com, and a hotel guide site. We checked the Ashley Inn against Expedia, Priceline, and Hotels.com. We checked the Hollywood Motel against Expedia and Hotels.com. We checked the Levee Inn against Tripadvisor and iExit.

We could not confirm current rates, the open status of Switzer Cabins, the current brand of the motel on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive, or the Tru pet rule. We also could not reach any property official site. Phone numbers and policies change, so confirm each detail with the property before you travel.
