La Quinta Inn & Suites Downtown Conference Center

If you like a cool room or enjoy air conditioning forget about this place. I asked for a fan they don’t have one. I asked for my air conditioner to be looked at Maintenance looked at it said it was fine. The fan turned on twice an hour. I was miserable. Think again before you pay for a room here.

Stayed here for one night 10÷8÷15 for the Motley Crue concert at Verizon Arena. Hotel was easy to get to, and pretty nice. We arrived early and got an upgraded room. Nice room, plenty of amenities. They have a breakfast in the morning, but we slept way too late to have any! They offer a free shuttle around and it seems to be convenient to most things. Parking is free, in a secure garage. The pool was closed but it was October. My only concern was the people hanging out around the hotel, crack heads I guess, but it is downtown! I didn’t feel too unsafe but could have felt safer! I’d stay there again if I need to go to downtown Little Rock again.

I had a nice stay at the La Quinta Inn. The room was nice, and very clean. The breakfast was cool, but above all the service was outstanding. I can see that at times the staff was a bit overwhelmed with putting out metaphorical fires, but kept their composure. D’vaughnte and Tiffany were the employees I dealt with the most. Both were outstanding. Tiffany was very helpful whenever I needed it, and D’vaughnte was absolutely outstanding when I had an issue with my room/​bill and handling it the best he could, which was over and beyond what I expected. He also gave us many free shuttle rides to the other side of downtown and was a pleasure to speak to, very cool and professional. I would recommend to a friend that they stay there if they were looking for a place to hang their hat in Little Rock. I would definitely not think twice staying there again if I ever find myself back in Little Rock. Thanks again, guys!

We got to are room and the air conditioner wasn’t working, the remote was missing, and the phone didn’t work. That should be a don’t go here, but the service was amazing, that had a guy come up here and fix all of that.

Awesome staff. The sales manager «Chuck» knew all the great local eateries and help my family that stayed here with any and everything. He may as well be a concierge with all the info about the theatre scene in Little Rock. Downtown is where the action is and the parking deck was nice so walking to most places was very nice and if needed just take the hotel FREE shuttle to the river market area. In bad weather this is where I stay when I need to be able to get to work. Clean rooms, great breakfast, secure and friendly staff.

This is a well-​priced hotel with decent service. The room was old but very clean. The best part was the free shuttle service to the river walk area. The drivers we had were friendly and knowledgeable about the history, culture, and entertainment in the area. We were given great recommendations on restaurants and things to do for our short stay.

Just stay a night and ready to leave. The breakfast is great with lots sections. Staffs are friendly and sweet. The hotel bed was comfy, but we wish they had king size for us instead of two standard beds. Their pool is very dirty, I will not recommend to use it. Otherwise, it’s okay hotel.

My first room smelled strongly of smoke (supposed to be a nonsmoking room) and had pubic hair on the toilet. My new room has stain-​covered floors, mold on the shower tiles, and no bathroom garbage can. And it also smells strongly of smoke (again, nonsmoking room).
Do yourself a favor and do not use the stairway in the parking garage, as it very clearly doubles as a restroom for a number of people.
I cannot recommend this unless you have an urgent situation that requires immediate shelter.

I give FIVE stars for general friendliness of hotel staff, helpfulness, and maid service (our room was always cleaned pretty early which was nice). The lobby was large and clean, the hotel restaurant for dinner was delicious, and there was a free parking garage for guests.
I give TWO stars for the following issues: 1) continental breakfast. I’m going to list what they had-​scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits & gravy, whole fruit, bread & bagels, cereal, milk/​coffee/​juice/​tea, muffins. On the weekends they had all of that but NO sausage, biscuits & gravy, and hardboiled instead of scrambled eggs. Apparently there was NO meat served on the weekends. It did not change and there was no variety, like bacon one day instead. I was very disappointed.
2) cleanliness. It wasnt. No one wiped down sticky tables at breakfast. The hall carpet was filthy with visible stains. The room carpet and chair had the same issue. The bathroom floor had some chips & one fairly large crack in the tile. Our first room had a microwave & fridge but when we discovered the toilet was blocked and the phone didnt work we switched-​to a room without microwave and fridge. The floor looked like it had never or rarely been vacuumed judging by the amount of hair that wasnt mine on the carpet. The a/​c was easy to use and very effective but the carpet under it had a stain that it either was leaking or had leaked at one time. I didnt bother to find out if it was wet or not.
3) pool. I dont know if it was still closed from winter or not, but i went to have a swim on the 88 degree day and the pool furniture was disgusting, no pool towels, etc. I put a toe in and an employee came out & told me not to go in there because they were cleaning. I said a CLOSED sign might be nice. I never saw a closed sign put up; i guess they just locked the door. I never tried it again; a waste of 2 swimsuits.
4) toilet paper & miscellany. We never got spare rolls so we ran out twice & the housekeeping did not answer the phone call so i had to ask the front desk. Our last night we only received 1 washcloth instead of 3. I tried to get some water my first or second night and went to the soda machine conveniently located on my floor, only to discover it was out of order AFTER i fed it my money. They kindly refunded me. There must be smoking and nonsmoking rooms both on the floor because the cigarette smoke came in through the bathroom vent. I am not sure how it usually works but it seems to me that to make the whole floor one or the other would be more efficient.
I wont stay there again for sure. Next time i’m staying where i’ve stayed before: the comfort inn!

Hotel was clean and staff was friendly. My only complaint was that there was so much noise from a outside water pressure machine (I called down to see what was going on) and it lasted up until 11pm. The rooms are not updated like most other la Quinta’s but for the price it was fine.
A wake up call that I did not request woke me up at 630am, along with the alarm clock. That wasn’t annoying at all.
It is located in downtown LR so that is a plus for the price as well.

I think for the price this is fine. The rooms were big and clean. I think we got kind of a bad location on the 12^th floor near the air crew lounge and laundry room. We could hear the dryer most of the night and we were right next to the crew room and that door continuously slammed closed all night which woke us up with a start a few times. It wasn’t horrible but if you stay on the 12^th floor make sure you are well away from both areas for maximum peace. Was annoyed that on a Sunday breakfast ended at 10am. Actually it ended at 9:55 and by that I mean bread in the trash and everyone gone. There were still people milling about and trying to get more. I’m thinking the breakfast person’s shift must end promptly at 10am which is why she wanted it to be done and clean by 10 on the dot. It was fine though, i would stay again, just avoid that room location and get to breakfast at 9:30

It’s an ok place to stay. Clean, staff is very nice. The shuttle drove us to our restaurant and then came back and picked us up from a jaunt downtown. The room was clean and neatly set up. We had a good breakfast and I was impressed by the juice. It was not watered down and it was good. Or maybe I needed sugar but it was good. The breakfast is pretty simple but it will do. I would stay here again.

Somewhat older location, but very well kept. Is downtown so you do have to use the parking garage but not a detractor by any means.

This LQ is not up to the standards of most locations. The check in was less than stellar. It seemed like I was putting them out. There were even issues prior to check in as I use a corporate account (which is never an issue anywhere else in the country). They «let me know» they would not accept the corporate account card anymore. Wow…
The room was bland to say the least. The pool was nasty, unfortunately, I had looked forward to a dip… didnt happen…
The breakfast was even bad. Everything seemed like it had been set out for days without any freshening up.
I hate it that this is the only LQ option near downtown Little Rock. I will be commuting a ways next time I have work in Little Rock.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION!

This place is gross. If you travel for business stay away. There are nicer hotels for the same price.
–They don’t pay attention to detail and their interior décor is cheap.
–The pictures online are misleading.
–It’s In a bad area but you shouldn’t feel that way once inside… it’s ghetto!!!

Our experience at this hotel was terrible. At check in, our family was not comfortable. We were going up to our room on 6^th floor and most of the doors were open by the security latch. The floor sealed of smoke. The room next to ours had incence burning. There was a bug in our room on the wall. The hotel just didn’t feel right and I felt unsafe. We checked out 5 minutes later and went to a different hotel.

My mom stayed here while she came to visit me while Chris and I were here for a stint. Incredible rate. They have just remodeled and the rooms are HUGE!
The area is a tad scary, as someone was shot at the next door McDonald’s at 5:30pm in broad daylight.
The gym is next door, and BRILLIANT. Full gym. Free weights, treadmills, ellipticals, everything…

Ok so I had to drop it down a notch. I had to switch rooms becuase of AC problems.
I got put into another room very nice everything was going well until I was getting ready to go to sleep… See the replacement room happened to be against the wall of the elevators, so guess what I hear every 5 seconds!!! «Going up» «Going Down» and than the slide of the elevator! It is quite annoying they should make this room a closet space or something! Lucky for me it happened on my last night so it only loses one star because all week it has been fantastic.

First time I stayed there was put in a room that had no sheets on the bed. And when there is bedding, the top sheet and blanket are thin and don’t insulate very well.
Free breakfast. Wide selection of food. Yogurt, waffle machine, cold cereal and bread. I went for the hard boiled eggs and apples and some milk.
Best part of the hotel is their membership at JP Fitness, a gym on the 29^th floor of the building next door. Just ask the front desk for a key pass for 24 hour access.

Stayed during late January for a Friday and Saturday night stay booked on Hotwire for $ 58 per night. Hotel was easy to find and in the center of Little Rock. Covered parking was free and convenient to use. Front desk person (Ladetrice?) was pleasant for our late check-​in even as she was ending her shift– or maybe pleasant BECAUSE she was ending her shift :) Regardless of her motive the entire staff was professional and courteous during our stay.
Ended up on the 10^th floor of 12 floor hotel along with the people that also checked-​in at the time. Had a double queen bed room facing the main street of the hotel. The streets were generally quiet at night for the weekend but we were not immune from any sirens and loud vehicles even on the 10^th floor. Took advantage of the free continental breakfast. Went there early both times when breakfast was well stocked. General combination of fruit, yogurt, two types of cereal, breads (not the freshest but ok when toasted), bagels, waffles, coffee and juice. Make your own waffles was nice to have but probably would’ve gotten tired of it after more than the two mornings we ate there.
Overall a pleasant stay for the price paid.
