This hotel was supposed to be fully renovated but it is not. The finishes were poorly done. The bed is not far from needing to be replaced. One side of the bed was worn out. The jacuzzi tub was good but one of the water jets was broken and sprayed everywhere. Ventilation was poor we smelled chlorine all night from the hot tub in the room after use. Also, could smell the next bathroom venting into our bathroom. The room was spacious though. The location was good but kind of dangerous to turn onto the road as there was no turn lane.

The owner was on the premises both days of our stay. He was helpful, affable, and appreciative. He made some good recommendations of places to eat in the area. This is a very good moderately priced hotel in Little Rock.

Was woken up at 6:30 AM then again at 7 AM and then the noise never stopped. I was placed right next to the office where the housekeeping ladies are gathering their supplies and they were arguing and yelling at each other in Spanish for hours, you could hear their walkie-talkies going off all the time, my stay in the place was garbage, the only reason I paid this is to get some sleep otherwise I woukd sleep in my car, but no i was not able to sleep in this hotel. Keep in mind that housekeeping does not give a f that you are paying for peace and sleep.

The property was nice, clean, and great value. We were pleased. It was a one night stay for a specialist appointment but we found it to be comfortable. The only thing I would have changed was the water pressure in the shower was a little low. Its not a complaint, the water is hot and it does the job.
Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024
Response from Director of Sales on 11 Apr 2024
Thank you Michael for your very constructive feedback. We have asked our maintenance supervisor to check the water pressure in our guest bathrooms to ensure that the flow is adequate. So far it seems like perhaps it is an isolated case since we didn't hear of others report the same concern. But, we will keep our eyes and ears open and continue to monitor the water pressure. Glad you found your room to be comfortable and that is also very important. If you return to Little Rock please consider staying with us again.

Shower pressure was low, a few outlets didnt work. Bed and pillows were comfy. Area was sketchy, but staff was friendly. I was a little worried because they asked for $100 deposit, I didnt have my cc handy so I gave them cash. There wasnt any receipt for the deposit, just a hand written note on the receipt for the room. I was worried I wouldn't see it again, but did get it back at check out.

Hi Jennifer. Thanks for your frank feedback about your experience. Cash is a rarity these days it seems and perhaps the clerk on duty was not well versed with providing a receipt. We will speak the the clerks to remind them that cash receipts are appreciated. Very glad to hear our pillows were comfy and that they stay was friendly. Thanks again!

Excellent in every way except one. It is a beautiful facility, clean an quiet and excently appointed. Staff was attentively gracious. Breakfast was excellent with eggs, breakfast meat, waffles, cereal, yogert, muffins beagles, and sweet rolls. Coffee and three juice options. But a big negative. The bed was very uncomfortable. The sheets were weird in that they were stiff and actually made a crinkling noise when moved. I got little sleep. However the blanket was soft. The bathroom was superior. Well done there.

Stephen, thank you for your review. Trying to figure out the noise the sheets made so we are looking in to that. All linen and towels are new and of the highest quality so it could be related to "newness" It does appear though that your did enjoy your stay and we are happy that you left with a positive impression of the hotel.

This hotel has great reviews. It is not all that. Yes, it is renovated, but it is basic. The pool is closed. It looks perfectly fine, but the filtration system is not working according to staff. Problem: the fitness center is accessed through the pool room and is only open after 10am. Seriously? Most reception staff do not have the key to the pool room. Therefore, effectively there is no access to the fitness room. If you want a fitness room or a pool, do not stay here. If this is not important to you and you want a basic room with no drawers to put your things, in an area that is not particularly nice, but is clean and inexpensive, then it is a good value. It has free good parking.

First let me say I’ve stayed at this hotel before when it was the Ramada inn and I never really had any problems besides the breakfast being trash. I was told this breakfast had gotten better… wrong it’s still trash…. Anyways I stayed in Room 222. I was having problems casting my phone, connecting my fire stick I called the front desk we didn’t spend too much time talking about it then the associate told me to try and YouTube it. >:| Butttttt anywho let me just me and my fiancé could not sleep, constantly waking up. I felt like stuff was biting me nothing was there, he woke up feeling like something was holding his foot I had scratches on one of my legs. I don’t know what type of negative energy or spirits was in that room but i rebuked it in the name of Jesus. I’ve never not been able to sleep at a hotel. When I got home slept like a baby though. I don’t normally leave reviews because my stats are either good or semi okay. Oh and one more thing they need to get the shower knob checked it doesn’t go all the way over I kept trying to understand why the bathroom sink and the jetted tub kept getting hotter than the shower. Other than that it would be a year or so before I book with them again give them time to get things together.

The room was very nice and clean, and I would have rated our stay much higher except that our shower didn’t have hot water! It was tepid at best, which combined with the fact hotel rooms are always set to sub-arctic temperatures, made for a chilly night. There were also a LOT of odd noises, all night, from loud fans in the bathrooms of neighboring rooms to what sounded like the ghost of a rotary telephone that went off & on for hours, which may have been the mini-fridge? Given that the rooms are hardwood not carpet - usually a plus - these noises reverberated through the room and made it difficult to sleep.

Good for a overnight.
Arrived to clean room. No toilet paper, so had to go to the front desk to get some. Not sure how a maid misses that supply. Walls appear to be very thin, lots of banging doors and loud music from outside. Right next to a Twin Peaks might be the problem. Not that we use it, but no alarm clock in the room, but a note on the desk that you will be charged for missing items if discovered after you check out. If it is on the list, it should be in the room to start with. Staff were friendly.

Okay stay!
My stay was okay, the only thing I didn’t like is when I checked in, the clerk told me that I couldn’t have any visitors. When I questioned him he said if I wanted a visitor he could put their name down & I thought that was very weird. He then stated that the only concern was they didn’t want alit of people coming to a persons room for a party. He should have just said that in the beginning. Saying I couldn’t have ANY visitors was a but creepy. But he was nice & the night staff was super nice & friendly! The room was clean & I was advised by a friend that’s it’s not a good part of town but I didn’t have any problems.
