WiFi Heaven / Little Rock Hotel Reviews / → All Tags

Little Rock is WiFi Hotel Heaven?

While holed up at the Peabody Little Rock, we scooted out to a few other hotels in town to see how they stacked up. It's mostly a collection of chain hotels apart from the circa-1913 Legacy Hotel. (When it was built, rooms were $2 and meals were 50 cents--which shows how much cheaper food has gotten.)

One interesting trend stood out, however: nobody charges extra for Internet access. You would think a tech center like Austin or San Jose would manage this, but no, it's Little Rock Arkansas. We mentioned earlier that the best hotel in town--the Peabody--has free wired access in the rooms and free wireless in the lobby, with no annoying registration process. And you would expect to find free WiFi at the likes of Holiday Inn Select. What's impressive here is that you can also log in with no extra charges at the Doubletree Little Rock and the Hilton Little Rock. And yes, WiFi is gratis at the Legacy Hotel too (as is parking--a big plus).

Maybe none of these hotels will make a magazine "hot list" or win any design awards, but if you're traveling because you are on business, Little Rock gets a big thumbs up.
