Pinewood Cabins Rating - 3

http://www.pinewoodcabins.net

Located in downtown Mountain View on Washington Street and one of the older resorts, Pinewood Cabins looks to be a comfortable place to stay. A couple of caveats. Being older means that smoking in the rooms was fine for years and now the smoke smell can never be removed. That can make it impossible for some folks to stay in a room. And of course, it is not accessible for folks in wheelchairs.  As I search this town, it's rare to see a business that is accessible. 

It seems not to be worth it to try. For a town that is dependent on tourism for its existence, seems to me that they have to turn away money daily.

DAYS INN MOUNTAIN VIew

703 E Main Street, Mountain View, AR 72560 

You would think that a motel in the heart of downtown in a small tourist town would really roll out the welcome mat for any visitors. They would make every effort to attract all visitors. i know it's an old building, but c'mon folks, you could have done better.  There's a tiny, steep ramp at the end of one of the walkways to the rooms, but that's it. I have not been in the motel, but suspect that there idea of a handicapped room is a grab bar somewhere or another. Let's hope you don't want a room upstairs because, well, maybe you don't want to stay on the ground floor because folks driving by can wave as they wait at the traffic light nearby. Or something.

In the bottom photo, the ramp is hidden behind the yellow post at the very bottom left of the photo. So small, it's hard to take a picture of it.
