Set among the wooded ridges of eastern Oklahoma, the SureStay Plus by Best Western Poteau gives travelers a comfortable home base in Poteau, Oklahoma, where fall paints the hills in colors photographers chase every year.
The nearby Talimena National Scenic Byway runs the crests of the Ouachitas, its overlooks unfolding for miles and its autumn foliage among the finest in the region. Closer to town, the Poteau Skate Park and a beloved local balloon festival keep things lively, the latter filling the morning sky with color as first-timers and seasoned pilots take to the air high above the valley floor.
A free full breakfast opens each day with hot eggs, sausage, fresh fruit, and freshly brewed coffee, the kind of start a road trip rewards. Carl Albert State College sits close by for visiting families and graduation weekends. Come autumn, few drives in the state match the byway climbing above Poteau.
