Motels in Magnolia, Arkansas

Motels in Magnolia, Arkansas
The historic town of Magnolia in Southwest Arkansas is the epitome of Southern hospitality and nostalgic Americana with annual events such as the Magnolia Blossom Festival and World Championship Steak Cook-Off (usually held on the third weekend in May) that rouses a spirit of community. With surrounding forests and neighboring Lake Columbia, Magnolia also is noted for being a good place to enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, hunting, fishing, boating and skiing. With a population of less than 11,000, according to Magnolia Chamber of Commerce, this is not a tourist metropolis with a booming entertainment and lodging district. However, since it is a college town there are a few lodging options available.

The three-floor Holiday Inn Express has 56 rooms with interior corridors. The hotel features a fitness center for staying in shape; and a heated, indoor swimming pool for relaxing after a day of exploring and hiking in the 368-acre Logoly State Park, which is located just six miles away.
