I got re-routed to Northwest Arkansas regional airport earlier this week, and was getting in very late, so called Hilton to see what properties were near the airport. They gave me a couple of options, and this was one. Even though it's about 10 miles from the airport, so is everything else. They quoted me a rate of $99 (not bad for a mid-week, last-minute reservation). The Embassy Suites about 3 miles away was twice that (never stayed there, but not sure if it's worth twice the rate).
Anyway, the hotel was nice and clean, the area seemed nice enough, the location was great (right at Walton and 540), and the grounds looked very well kept and was well lit. The staff were very friendly - dealing with me as a stressed traveler, and getting me not only a room, but working to get one that matched my preferences. They also calmly guided me from the airport to the hotel when it was late and dark (the road from the airport into town is pretty rural !). It took about 20 minutes to get there from the airport. Make sure you get directions first, and follow each sign that says "To Bentonville".
Too bad I was there for a very short time - it was a nice hotel at that rate. I did not try the restaurant, but there are two restaurants right next door, a 24-hour Walgreen's and 24-hour WalMart within a few blocks, and a Starbucks right on the other side of the freeway (which you drive under). Great, convenient location with lots of stores, restaurants, etc. very close by.
So, next time I am in the area, will definitely try to stay here, and hope to enjoy everything the hotel has to offer.
