Business Facilities

Location
Situated off Interstate 430, the hotel sits about 11.2 miles from the Statehouse Convention Center and 13 miles from Verizon Arena. It's within a roughly 10-15 mile radius of several Little Rock attractions, including the Little Rock Zoo, Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site, the William J. Clinton Library and Museum, the Arkansas State Capitol, and Pinnacle Mountain State Park, making it a reasonable home base for exploring the city's museums, history sites, and outdoor destinations by car.
Best for
This hotel suits budget-conscious families and road-trip travelers thanks to its free hot breakfast, indoor pool and whirlpool tub, suite-style rooms with pull-out sofas, and policy allowing kids 19 and under to stay free with an adult. It also works for small-group business travelers who need a business center and modest meeting space (625 sq ft) without paying for a full-service property. Pet owners have also noted it as a comfortable option, per guest feedback.
Travel tips
Because the hotel sits off Interstate 430 about 10 miles from downtown, a car is the most practical way to reach Little Rock's museums, the State Capitol, and Verizon Arena, all of which are 9-13 miles away. Guests attending events downtown or at the Statehouse Convention Center should budget extra drive time given the distance. If arriving late in the evening, contacting the front desk ahead of time has helped some guests secure a smooth, quick check-in.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the friendly, helpful front desk staff, clean rooms, comfortable beds, and the free hot breakfast, which several reviewers described as a standout feature. The indoor pool and hot tub and the pet-friendly policy also drew positive mentions, along with an easy, convenient location and smooth check-in even for late arrivals. However, at least one detailed negative account described a noise issue from a first-floor room near a public restroom, paired with frustration over the hotel's unresponsiveness to a refund request and poor follow-up from staff and corporate. Overall, the bulk of feedback is positive, with cleanliness, staff friendliness, and breakfast quality as the most repeated themes.
