[Ed. Note: Contributing editor Tim Leffel reports from Little Rock, Arkansas.]
When a group of eight travel writers arrives at a hotel together from the airport, with reservations, it's never a good sign when there's not a bellhop to be found. Not that the writers can't fend for themselves, of course, but you'd think a hotel hosting a whole crew of influencers would schedule an extra staffer or two to juice the first impression. But this is the Peabody Little Rock, not the storied Peabody in Memphis. It's the equivalent of the high school football captain's little brother, trying hard, but no hope of matching up. ]]>
