Joplin Inn 5403 Highway 270 East, Mount Ida, AR 71957

"Well it is a great place to stay over night right off highway 270 east before hotspring Arkansas. There's county's store across the other side where you go and check in too your room. They have fast food to eat and drinks and snacks."

"Quite possibly the rudest reservation clerk I've ever experienced, and I travel a lot. No one associated with the motel is on location. You must call for a reservation and they send someone down with a key. You can't look at a room before you have paid for it. My wife is very smoke sensitive. More than once we've asked to switch rooms when our initial room had been recently smoked in - and it has never been a problem. I explained that to the reservation clerk and asked if she could send the guy down with keys to two rooms. No. I'm confused. " We can't help it if people smoke in the room, they are supposed to be non- smoking". I understood that, I explained. I just asked they bring two different room keys so if the first one had been smoked in we could take the second. No possible way. " Sir, I just don't know how to satisfy you!". Seriously, was bringing down two room keys an unreasonable thing to ask? Was it a lot of extra trouble? I can only imagine what it would be like if you had an actual problem!"

"Loved this place. It is an older building but VERY clean and comfortable. There is a microwave, coffee maker and small refrigerator in the rooms. It is right next to the highway but has very little traffic at night. We will definitely be staying there again."

"Love the old timey charm. Remodeled but still has some of the old flair like the vanity cabinet in the wall with the razor slot at the back. Rooms were large & clean. You did hear road noise but it didn't bother us. Full access to Mountain Harbor amenities such as the pool, tennis courts, volleyball, spa & marina. Restaurant was really good there too. We will stay here again next time when we come to dig crystals & recommend it to friends."

"My friends and I stayed here for 4 nights and we were really impressed by the rooms which are fully stocked with a mini fridge, tv and a microwave, as well as the binder which the management put together to inform us of nearby restaurants, activities and other information. On the downside, the sheets were rather musty and we do not believe they were cleaned during our stay, the bathroom also had many dark black marks on the linoleum. They always made sure to give us clean towels, which were folded into a swan shape on the bed, the clean towels were definitely a plus. The motel was also well located, and we were within fifteen minutes away from a variety of restaurants and hiking trails."
