"The beds were OK comfort wise and the bedding seemed clean. I turned the ac down a bit but was still hot much of the night. The shower was dark a there wasn't a light positioned to shine into it. None of the email correspondence told me what room number nor where the rooms were located. We were arriving late so regular check in wasn't available. We called and let the property manager know we'd be late but we weren't informed that our room wasn't near where the address on the emails would send...

8/10 Good
"This was a nice place for my husband and I. The location was great and the view was beautiful. The room was roomy and met our needs. I did not care for the towels, they were thin and small; could not get completely dry using them. We also ran out of toilet paper the morning we were leaving. So, I would suggest newer/better towels and extra toilet paper. I would definitely stay here again when we are in the area."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Story?
The best area to stay in Story, Arkansas, is generally the immediate vicinity of the town centre, as it offers the most convenience and access to local amenities.

Story is a very small, rural community, so the 'town centre' refers to the cluster of services and a few local businesses along Highway 270 and its immediate offshoots. Here, you'll find the local post office, a few small shops, and any limited dining options available. This area provides the most straightforward access to the main roads for exploring the surrounding Ouachita National Forest.

For those seeking a quiet retreat into nature, staying in one of the few holiday rentals or cabins dotted around the outskirts of Story is ideal. These properties often provide direct access to hiking trails, fishing spots, and the serene environment of the Ouachita Mountains. This is particularly good for couples or solo travellers looking for a peaceful escape.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if cancelled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation.
