America's Best Inn Benton
This two-story hotel is right off Interstate 30 near Highway 5, just a little more than a mile from Lyle Park with boat access to the Saline River. Tyndall Park is also nearby. Get the complimentary breakfast before you go. Local calls are free. If you want to bring a pet, expect a small charge. Guests who are serious about being "green" can stay in one of the "EcoRooms," which have recycling bins and reusable items. There are just a few of these rooms, however, so call ahead if you want one.
