Wyndham Riverfront Hotel

Great location and friendly staff ! Great breakfast in the morning - loved the omelette!

I stayed here for three nights recently for a conference.
The good:
- Housekeeping was very good. My room was perfectly clean.
- The conference facilities were good, although the chairs in the conference rooms could have been more comfortable.
- The included breakfast buffet was good, although I have seen a better variety of items at some other hotels. Still, there was both a hot bar and a cold bar, and I didn't leave hungry any of the three mornings I ate there. The omelet station was very good, and the service was fantastic.
- The riverfront location is nice, although the main commercial district of North Little Rock is about a 10 minute drive away. If you're a baseball fan, you can walk across the street to Dickey-Stephens Park where the AA Arkansas Travelers play. If you're here on the right night, you could get a free fireworks show as I did.
- The layout of the hotel is really convenient with two large floors of 100+ rooms. This makes it easy for conference attendees to go to their rooms for breaks, etc. and minimizes trips up and down elevators or stairs.

The so-so:
- The rooms and amenities are pretty basic. I would have been disappointed if I had paid the usual non-conference weekend rate for the room.

The bad:
- Maintenance was an absolute disaster. I noticed there was a leak under the bathroom sink whenever I used it. Soon thereafter, the cold water supply line to the sink became detached from the faucet and flooded the floor of the bathroom before I could close the shutoff valve. To the hotel's credit, their engineering staff fixed the problem within about 30 minutes. Later in the weekend, I noticed some areas of the popcorn ceiling bulging slightly. Saturday afternoon, as I took a break from the conference, I noticed some white powder on the floor and determined it was coming from the ceiling. Upon my return at the end of the day on Saturday, about a square foot of the ceiling had collapsed, making a big mess on the floor between the beds. Finally, the shower handle was loose and felt as if it would stop working leaving the water either stuck on or off, but it worked long enough to get me through my stay. Front desk staff was apologetic, but I was quite disappointed that I had to deal with these issues at a purported 3-star hotel.
- The included free wi-fi is unsecured. Fortunately, I didn't need to use it, because this is unacceptable in 2023.

I deducted two stars for the maintenance issues. I believe this was an exceptional case as I did not hear complaints of similar issues among any of my fellow attendees. However, I would choose another hotel unless I was possibly attending another conference.

One night visit. The staff are great, but the hotel is showing signs of aging. There is no hot tub and the TV is meh at best. The ac would not maintain a steady temperature all night so it was hard to sleep.

Closeness to walking to shops and bars, plus free shuttle if required

The complementary breakfast was really good and the breakfast staff was very welcoming. I would recommend this location for future visits.
