Everything was very nice. The staff was great! Pillows could've been better. They were flat. Pancake maker was out of order but breakfast options were not bad. Location was the best!

Little Rock Marriott
Great staff, one of the few places where the front desk gave bottle water when asked. Have been to other hotels where they only give you one at checkin and that is it. One nit-pick the bathroom didn’t have a vent, so it got steamy. Next shower left the door opened a bit for steam to escape.
