Excellent 5stars
Pros:

This place is very nice and clean with great amenities and is close to great restaurants. Good, well lit parking and in a great neighborhood. Rahul the manager is super friendly and accommodating. He offered our family a group rate for the multiple rooms for an undetermined amount of time, he allowed us to hold our rooms from day to day while we were in town for an unexpected family emergency. We highly recommend you stay here, you won’t be disappointed.

It was clean, safe and easily accessible
Pros:

It was clean and seemed very safe

Cons:

The beds were not the most comfortable but they weren’t the worst I’ve slept on. I wouldn’t want to sleep on it long term though.

"BEST" Western and BEST is correct!
Pros:

I THANK the kind and professional staff for an excellent stay.
The receptionist was very caring and concerned about the reason for our stay in Little Rock. She wasn't meddling; only showing genuine care.
The food, the layout, and cleanliness of the dining room was an 11 out of 10.
The room and provisions were more than satisfactory.
I would recommend this Best Western to anyone.
Thank you for your "BEST" service.
