Top Arkansas Museum of Discovery Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Little Rock-Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This was a wonderful stay! The room was clean, comfortable, quiet and spacious. The staff was very kind. The breakfast was very good with lots of options. Parking was off sight and $15.00. There was a 5k happening in front of the hotel so all of the streets were blocked to pull the car up to load luggage, so we had to walk to our car with the cart to unload our luggage and walk it back to the hotel. Other than that it was a very good stay!"

Wyndham Riverfront Little Rock

10/10 Excellent

"Welcoming and helpful staff. Free shuttle to the arena and they would pick you up all for free! Nice restaurants and bars inside. I loved how the rooms did not have carpet. They were clean and cozy. Only complaint was the noise level. We could hear people in the hall and outside in the courtyard. It was a very nice stay overall though."

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay here in Little Rock. The apartment was in a good location to Downtown Market area and Riverfront Park. It was an older building with a cute courtyard. The apartment itself was clean however we found it to be very dark for our liking. We had no problem finding parking on the street right in front of the building. Communication with the owner and the check in process were excellent."
