BEVERLY, LITTLE ROCK

Travelled with family
Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
We asked for a first floor room or room near the elevator due to a medical condition. We were reserved a room on the 4th floor where we had to walk a long distance to get there. We had to walk down stairs from the parking lot which was not disability accessible. I would not stay here again.

Room was nice, beds good and water hot. They had coffee and hot chocolate available 24 hour. Staff was very nice. A/C not as good. Also, had $100 deposit that did not know about. Had a sign to read as was checking in. But, already committed to staying. If was listed but I didn’t read then my fault.

Room was nice, very spacious and clean! Pool was warm and a nice size - but could be cleaner but I am sure it is hard to keep a pool clean with that many guests every day. Overall better than my expectations! Great location and clean room

I would stay again

Room was a good room. It could have been a little cleaner. The floor could have been cleaner and the chairs had spots and stains. The air conditioner had a very off smell. However, the bed was clean and the bathroom was also acceptable as well. Staff was very friendly.

Not pleased.

There was spider in the bathroom in the ceiling. The paint was pilling in the bathroom ceilling by the vent The bathroom is extremely small. The toilet had old urine on the back toilet by the seat cover. You didn't see it until you let the seat cover down. The clerk was not really friendly at check in. The hard wood floors was loud when you walked on it. The suite bedroom doesn't even have a door to separate the rooms.
