Rooms & Suites

Suites step things up with separate sitting areas and kitchenettes, making them a practical choice for longer stays or guests who want extra space to spread out.

On-site recreation includes a heated indoor pool and a fitness room, useful year-round regardless of Arkansas weather. A patio area with a grill gives guests an outdoor space to relax, and the hotel includes free parking for drivers arriving via I-430.
Dining
A cooked breakfast is included each morning, with a grab-and-go breakfast bag option available on weekdays for guests heading out early. This makes the hotel convenient for both leisurely mornings and early departures without needing to search for a nearby cafe.
Location
The hotel sits about a 12-minute drive from shopping and dining in downtown Little Rock and roughly 11 miles from Pinnacle Mountain State Park. Numerous city attractions are within a short drive, including the Little Rock Zoo, Big Dam Bridge, Arkansas State Capitol, William J. Clinton Library and Museum, and several downtown museums such as the Old State House Museum, Museum of Discovery, and Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts.
Best for
This hotel suits road-trippers and highway travelers thanks to its I-430 location and free parking, as well as budget-conscious families and business travelers who want suite options with kitchenettes and sitting areas. It also appeals to guests visiting Little Rock's downtown museums, the zoo, or Pinnacle Mountain State Park, all reachable within an 11-15 minute drive.
Travel tips
Because the hotel is located off Interstate 430 rather than in downtown Little Rock, having a car is the most practical way to reach the Clinton Library, Old State House Museum, and other downtown sites, which are roughly 11-12 minutes away by car. Plan for a short drive of about 20-25 minutes if visiting Pinnacle Mountain State Park or Pinnacle Mountain itself. Guests catching the included breakfast on a tight schedule can opt for the weekday grab-and-go breakfast bag instead of the cooked breakfast.
