As a Road Warrior IT Consultant (migrant worker, basically) Marriotts are my home away from home. I usually don't stay at the SpringHill types but this place is clean, quiet, good rates, and there's a very well stocked wine store just a few blocks away on Markham Street.

Breakfast is OK. Waffles bagels youghurt doughnuts eggs cooked once upon a time and sausage patties.

Nice polite staff. Parking lot is a little tight.

Every single staff member from the cleaning staff and breakfast room attendant up to the front desk personnel greeted us each time we saw them and they looked us in the eye when they did so. We also got great restaurant recommendations and directions from the front desk staff.

However, the rooms are tired and need a make over. The furniture is beaten up from use and the AC unit is noisey. Quite frankly I expect some of that, but the window in our room (310) was held in place with duct tape. I was shocked. I am a Marriott Rewards member and I have never seen such a thing in all the Marriott brand rooms I have stayed in. If it were a Days Inn or something, I would understand.

I reported the window to the front desk who seemed surprised. The hotel was not full so it seemed we might have been offered another room. Nope. Just a statement that they would report the matter to the maintenance man. I think he already knew or the duct tape would not be holding the window in place.

I don't really have anything negative to say about this place at all, except the swimming pool was so overly chlorinated, it actually burned my eyes to be near it (and I wasn't even swimming!). Check-in and check-out was painless; everybody was kind. The continental breakfast was plentiful and offered plenty of choices. We did not take advantage of housekeeping services, because we really weren't there enough to need it. It's roomy and comfortable, the bathroom/bathtub was nice and also roomy, and it's pretty close to shopping malls, medical clinics, and within easy driving distance to many of Little Rock's activities. All in all, it was a very accommodating hotel. I gave this propery a 4 for two reasons: I can't fully evaluate the hotel without having an opportunity to see how they handle all of their business, and it's a little out the way.

The hotel was a bit further from Downtown Little Rock, but that suited me fine for my business needs. It was a bit dated however all the accomadations were there including continental breakfast, pool, gym, and flat screen TV. I was impressed to see that the room had an iPod radio dock. I like the suite seperation of the room, made it feel a bit mroe like home.
