Eight jacuzzi hotels around Jonesboro, Arkansas, starting at $59. The highest-rated is Embassy Suites at 4.5, but for an in-room tub, Comfort Suites near the university is the pick at $81.
Jonesboro is a small northeast Arkansas market, and most of its jacuzzi rooms keep the tub behind the bathroom door. If you want a jetted tub you can see from the bed, your options narrow to two. The Comfort Suites near the university area puts a corner jetted tub right in the room from $81 a night. The Super 8 in Paragould, about twenty miles west on I-555, sets an oval jetted tub bedside from $67. Everything else in the Jonesboro collection, from the Embassy Suites downtown to the Holiday Inn Express in Paragould, places the tub in the bathroom. A bathroom tub works for a quick overnight after an Arkansas State game. Know what you are getting before you book expecting something more open.

Frequently Asked Questions
Paragould sits about 20 miles west on I-555 and has two hotels with tubs. The Super 8 there puts a jetted tub in the room from $67, a better arrangement than most Jonesboro budget options. Jonesboro has more restaurants and the university campus nearby. For a quiet overnight in northeast Arkansas, Paragould's Super 8 is the better stop. The Holiday Inn Express in Paragould costs $111, with the tub in the bathroom.
Four hotels here put the tub in the bedroom area. At Comfort Suites it is a corner jetted tub in a proper suite layout, rated 4.2, and guests say it is worth the $81. At Baymont it is also in-room, but the hotel runs a 2.9 with reviews flagging green pool water and maintenance problems. The price gap between them is $32 per night. That $32 buys a clean tub and a staff that cares.
Jonesboro is a college town built around Arkansas State, and the Caraway Road hotel strip is chain restaurants for a mile. Head downtown if you want something with more character. Craighead Forest Park has a 600-acre lake loop worth a morning walk if you are staying a second night. Most hotels cluster near the ASU campus, so fall weekends bring game-day noise and full parking lots. Save the long dinner for after the soak.
Jonesboro is a mid-size Arkansas college town with chain hotels along a commercial strip. The draw is price if you are already in northeast Arkansas or driving the Memphis-to-Little Rock corridor. Embassy Suites is the closest thing to upscale at $110, and it is still a convention center property. If you want scenery or spa atmosphere, the Ozarks are three hours west. Jonesboro works when the tub is the entire plan for the evening.
Arkansas State football weekends from September through November fill the hotels near campus. Graduation week in May books out almost as fast. The Hilton Garden Inn sits near the arena, so concert nights push that one hardest. Midweek in the off-season drops chain rates to their floor. Book the jetted-tub room by name when you reserve, because inventory is limited and the default king is what you will get otherwise.
