In-room touches include complimentary water and coffee along with a temperature-set refrigerator. Some guests have noted a lack of wall hooks or knobs for hanging jackets, purses, or towels, and that seating is limited to the bed for watching TV rather than a dedicated lounge chair.
Amenities & Recreation

Location
The hotel sits close to Wildwood Park for the Arts, just under 3 kilometers away, and within roughly 7.7 to 9.9 kilometers of Pinnacle Mountain State Park, Pinnacle Mountain, and the Big Dam Bridge, making it convenient for outdoor recreation. Little Rock's downtown cultural attractions -- including the Little Rock Zoo, William J. Clinton Library and Museum, Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Discovery, Old State House Museum, Arkansas State Capitol, and Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site -- are all within about 12 to 19 kilometers, making a car useful for sightseeing. Guests consistently mention the surrounding area as having plentiful dining and shopping options nearby.
Best for
This hotel suits business travelers and road-trippers who value a modern workspace in-room and easy access to nearby dining and shopping. It also appeals to outdoor-oriented visitors, given its proximity to Wildwood Park for the Arts, Pinnacle Mountain State Park, and the Big Dam Bridge for cycling and hiking. Travelers who don't mind driving into central Little Rock for museums and historic sites will find the western location a convenient home base.
Travel tips
Since most of Little Rock's major museums and historic landmarks -- like the Clinton Library, Old State House Museum, and Central High School National Historic Site -- are 12 to 19 kilometers away, having a car is recommended for sightseeing. For outdoor activities, Pinnacle Mountain State Park and the Big Dam Bridge are a shorter drive of under 10 kilometers, making them easy half-day trips. Guests should also pack accordingly for room storage, as some rooms lack wall hooks for hanging jackets or towels.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the hotel's location, citing convenient access to nearby restaurants and shopping as a major draw. The modern, colorful design and clean, well-equipped fitness room -- complete with a scale -- also receive positive mentions, as does the friendly and helpful staff. In-room perks like complimentary water, coffee, and a temperature-set fridge are appreciated touches. On the negative side, some guests noted a lack of hooks or knobs for hanging clothing and towels, limited comfortable seating for watching TV outside of the bed, and at least one report of a dirty pool; price was also flagged by one reviewer as a potential deterrent to returning.
