The Jonesboro center point is around the area of St. Bernards Medical Center and 1 mile north of Grace Christian College.
Jonesboro, Arkansas, doesn't have a tourist season like some cities do. Because of this, rates don't fluctuate much throughout the year. The amount you pay in March may not be exactly what you pay in July, but they are quite similar.
If you have some flexibility, you may want to visit Jonesboro during a time that matches your weather preference. This part of Arkansas has hot summers and mild winters. During summer, you can expect the mid-day heat to reach about 92 degrees Fahrenheit. That might not sound especially hot to people who live in desert environments. Keep in mind that Arkansas is a fairly humid place. The combination of heat and humidity can make summer uncomfortable to those who aren't accustomed to the South's climate.
Cooler weather moves into Jonesboro during early autumn. By October, mid-day highs rarely exceed 73 degrees Fahrenheit. Once winter arrives, though, you can expect temperatures to vary from 25 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the day.
When staying in Jonesboro, it's more important to compare hotels than try to save money by visiting during an off-season. It doesn't take much effort to find a hotel that matches your budget and your needs.
Several hotels in Jonesboro, Arkansas, offer discounted rates to members of the military, AAA, or AARP. Fairfield Inn & Suites has discounted rooms for AAA members and seniors. (You can learn more about Fairfield Inn & Suites in the Best Value Hotels section.) Comfort Suites on Access Road also has lower rates for AAA members and senior citizens.
Members of the military should inquire about discounted rates at the Super 8 on South Caraway Road. The hotel also gives discounts to AAA members.
Baymont Inn & Suites on Kazi Street is one of the few hotels in town that advertises lower rates for members of the military, AAA members, and seniors. It already has low rates, but taking advantage of the discount will just save you more money.
Some hotels only give discounted rates for certain rooms, so don't assume that you can get a discount because you think you qualify. There are times when you have to tell the hotel in advance to make sure you book a room that gives you the discount. If you don't make arrangements ahead of time, you could find that you spend more money than you thought. It's always a good idea to play it safe by contacting the hotel instead of making any assumptions.
When it comes to getting the best value in Jonesboro, reserve a room at the Fairfield Inn & Suites at 3408 Access Road. It's not the cheapest hotel in town, but you get a lot for your money. Staying at the four-story hotel gives you access to a state-of-the-art fitness center and an indoor pool.
Guests staying at Fairfield Inn & Suites get a free breakfast, but they can also grab small meals at the on-site snack bar. Free Wi-Fi and newspapers in the lobby are just two more amenities that you get while staying at the hotel. There's even free wired high-speed internet for guests who have their laptops with them.
One of the things that really makes Fairfield Inn & Suites a good deal is the building's age. It was built in 2009, so it still feels like new. The exterior has a modern aesthetic. The interior lounge has comfortable couches and chairs positioned around LED screens. Even the beds feel like they were recently added to the rooms.
The young building can offer a few services that older hotels can't give you. You won't find many other hotels in Jonesboro that give you express check-in and check-out. With the building's young infrastructure, though, Fairfield Inn & Suites has the technology to give you these and other amenities that make it feel more like a great hotel.
