Hotels in Benton, AR

Hotels in Benton, AR
About 25 miles southwest of Little Rock, Arkansas is the Saline County city of Benton. It sits near the beautiful, mostly undisturbed Saline River, which provides perfect opportunities for canoeing and fishing. And from Benton you're not too far from some of central Arkansas' finest recreational lakes. So after a long day of floating or boating, stay at a hotel close to Interstate 30, the Saline River and Benton's parks and walking trails.

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.

Days Inn Benton

Before driving to Lake Catherine State Park for a guided hike (the park is about 30 miles from Benton), fill your plate with the hot breakfast that the Days Inn Benton serves every morning. Then, on your way home, stop at one of six restaurants that are either behind or next to the hotel. If you don't feel like a hike, just hang out at the pool. There's no charge for children ages 13 and under. The hotel adds a small fee for pets.

Like other Benton hotels along Interstate 30, the Econo Lodge is near both Lyle and Tyndall parks. Pets can stay at the Econo Lodge, but a fee applies. When you get hungry, walk through the lobby to the Denny's restaurant, where you'll get a 10 percent discount for being an Econo Lodge guest. Other restaurants are within easy walking distance from the hotel. The Econo Lodge has a seasonal outdoor pool.
