The room was comfortable, the shower needed repairs but still workable. The staff were amazing and attentive. We were staying for a family funeral and it was easily accessible to church, funeral home and family. We would stay again when seeing family in area.

This was our second stay at The Arc. The room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was hot and very good. The staff was extremely friendly and polite. And the price (Thanks to Expedia) was very reasonable. I give them 5 stars.

Our stay was good for what we needed - just a one night stay on our way to Springdale. The rooms are definitely dated (lack of outlets, older shower/tub), but comfortable. Overall decent place to stay for a night or two.
