4-Star Hotels in Arkansas, United States

Good value, clean. Would recommend.

This hotel has transitioned many times through the years. We were happy to learn that it had yet again transitioned into a Hilton property due to our loyalty to the brand. The location is fairly ideal. Service was snippy and unresponsive. We were traveling as fans of the opposing team to the hometown university and we certainly felt that animosity throughout our stay. The shower was disgusting with mold which I reported on our first night and we were assured it would be addressed when our room was serviced; however it was not. Day two found us once again washing in a filthy shower. When I again voiced concerns, I was assured they will report it to housekeeping with absolutely no offer of rectifying the situation with us.

The hotel is near Lake Hamilton, Hot Thrings, with a good view and friendly staff You can eat coffee and tea for free in the hotel restaurant in the morning and have a coffee maker and microwave in the hostel.

Stella, at the front desk, was wonderful. Knowledgeable and caring. The hotel is beautifully situated on the bank of the Arkansas River (request a north facing room) with direct access to the river walk; and next door to the fascinating Old State HouseMuseum (free admission). The carpet was dirty in our rooms but housekeeping attentive daily. Coffee is free in the lobby but I don’t think the $16 breakfast buffet worthwhile as they twice ran out of eggs and items like whole milk.

The hotel is very clean and the room was huge. However, I gave a lower rating because we reserved a room on the Executive Level and paid more specifically for this level. The description of the specific suite states “this suite provides access to the Executive Lounge with complimentary continental breakfast, snacks and beverages and Manager’s Reception.” It also states “Turndown service is provided nightly.” We went to the Executive Lounge at 6:00 pm and the door was locked. I went to the front desk and was told the room had been closed for 3 years. When I asked about the amenities of the Executive Lounge I was given 6 drink tickets (1/night for 2 nights for 3 people) and tickets for free breakfast at the restaurant. We went to the bar to use the drink tickets but there were no snacks, no beverages and only 1 free house wine or beer/person. That is absolutely not the same as an Executive Lounge! Additionally, there was no turndown service, as advertised! If we had known this was the situation, we certainly would not have paid a higher price for a room on the Executive Level! This is the definition of false advertising!

We only stayed here for one night recently. I’ll start by saying that the hotel has a great location. It feels safe. We checked in via app with no issues. Prior to checking in, Clarence stayed in touch with us and even made a courtesy call. I can appreciate that. The hotel’s decor was very nice and the layout of the suite was very nice. It has great space. Traveling as a family, we need space. Upon entering the room though, we noticed multiple stains on the couch. We had an appointment immediately after check-in so I wasn’t able to complete my full inspection. When we returned, we wanted to go straight to bed. We had a double room so I did a quick check over one bed and the other I didn’t inspect so well. In the middle of the night, we noticed stains on the second bed. The stains were on the pillows too. It looked like hair dye but who knows. There’s no way the cleaning staff could have missed these stains. Very disappointing. The room was showing signs of wear and tear, but not too bad to complain about. I will say that the front desk staff was nice and accommodating. My main concerns about hotels are safety and cleanliness. It’s the oversight of the cleanliness of the bed that impacted the rating. Would I stay here again, not sure. It may not be my first choice, but I can’t say that it wouldn’t happen.

Given the reputation of the 21C Hotels, we were expecting a much nicer, much more comfortable experience. I do want to say that the hotel staff was very friendly and very nice although other than check-in, we did not really have a reason to interact with them. The oddest thing about this hotel is that there is no place to park! You cannot drive up to the front entrance to unload luggage. There is a city parking structure behind the hotel but there is no direct entrance from the parking into the hotel so one has to walk around the block just to get back to the front door. One of the staff came out to help with our luggage (while we were parked on the street) and the poor guy had to literally lift the luggage cart from the street onto the sidewalk because there isn’t even a sloping handicap portion of the curb to roll the luggage cart. The management needs to re-vamp its website to state clearly that when you book a “bed and breakfast” package you are not really getting that—-breakfast is not served Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday and the grab and go breakfast—which is available to anyone staying there—consists of some apples and granola bars. Not impressive. Breakfast is served on Thursday and Friday with brunch on Saturday and Sunday. The website should state exactly what one is getting and it does not. The hotel, despite its few art installations, is cold and austere looking and feeling. Our room was oddly shaped and badly designed with random floor lamps which provided almost no light and a large entry hall with no lights at all. There was one very uncomfortable chair and one table placed next to a chaise lounge which was pushed up against a cold floor to ceiling group of windows. There were no comfortable chairs in which to sit to do computer work at the table. And the beds were also uncomfortable with lumpy hard pillows. The hotel looked clean and our room and bathroom were clean and we truly appreciated the mask mandate. We had planned to stay a few nights, but because the beds were so uncomfortable and the room so dark, we checked out the next day and went to another hotel.

Very clean.. quiet.. great breakfast! The staff was very helpful!

The Peabody many years ago and now the Marriott are clean and tidy and suitable for business trips.
