DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Little Rock

I’m all about being able to park, eat, play, and sleep without having to drive around. We used a debit card for entry to the parking garage, and the same card to exit after our night’s stay. Easy access from the parking garage to the hotel lobby. If you’re taking the elevator from the lobby to parking garage, use the one on the far left. We had a clean room overlooking the bridge, river, and walking trail. The buffet at Bridges restaurant on the first floor was a good option for our party of 7 before seeing the Michel Jackson broadway show next door. They had MJ music playing in the restaurant, a big stand up poster of the MJ show at the entrance, and even some MJ theming on the buffet menu. I liked the collaboration between Doubletree and the event center. It was raining outside, but we w

This Doubletree is well-situated in the heart of downtown Little Rock, close to the River Market District and within a mile of almost everything. I had a room with an impressive river view. The fitness room is small but nice and there is a decent-sized outdoor pool. The prices are also low for a downtown hotel.||However, the hotel has not been well-maintained. Carpets are faded and stained. Furnishings are outdated and chipped. The elevators were creaky. The outlets in the room were limited and one was falling out of the wall. The drain stopper was loose in the bathtub. The cold water in the sink was only a trickle due to some plumbing issue. It’s just a really shabby building that would be a lot better with some basic room renovations and maintenance.

My gps took us to the backside of the hotel. You definitely need to keep going and reroute to get to the front side. This hotel is huge, right in the middle of downtown on the water. Staff is very friendly, parking garage is underground. Heads up to traveler we have a tiny uhaul trailer hitched to our car, the lot says no trailers. If you park on the 3rd level you will be fine and dont block others. A uhaul will not work here you are going to have to find other parking . We ate at the restaurant on site and it was really good. Staff was great helping to accommodate our 3 year old grandson. There isn't a kids menu and the menu is limited when there's events in town. The rooms are nicely sized and clean. I read some rooms might be dated. Ours was nice, roomy and clean with an unexpected view

Positive: The hotel staff was amazing. They are all very nice and professional. Negative: The hotel is very dated. The carpets are disgustingly dirty. I have stayed at DoubleTree hotels before and they were in much better conditions than this one.

If it were not for the staff, I would have tried to find another room. We visited about a week ago and most things were shut down due to weather. However, the hotel was not sufficiently heated or prepared. We had friends at other hotels that didn’t have these issues. The lobby, dining area, bathrooms and common areas were freezing. They attempted to use space heaters to no avail. The kitchen was so cold we never got hot bacon. Greased over. I opted for space with the suite. Don’t waste your money. The shower never got above lukewarm, then it would stop and go. I mean completely turn off, then sputter and come back at a colder temperature. I tried to catch the low,low pressure and spurts in the video (notice no steam and all the way to hot). With soap everywhere had no choice but to wait
