The Empress of Little Rock

The Empress is in/near a very nice/cool/fun section of Main St. Good food. Solid galleries. At least two very interesting antique shops. Wonderful ice cream shop. The Community Bakery is very good for pastries, coffee, breakfast or lunch. At the Empress James is a perfect host and took care of everything we needed. We would stay again if our travels take us back to Little Rock.

We were able to check ourselves in without any problems. The property’s public areas were wonderfully decorated with turn of the century/ gilded age antiques. My only complaint was the lack of human interaction, I can only hope the proprietors get a welcoming robot in the near future.

Absolutely beautiful property. A bit disappointed by finding stained linens and a partially smoked end of something in our room for what we paid.

Nice stay for a night or two but it was hot in our room (we are hot sleepers) and we cannot turn off the light without also turning off the fan. There is a high pitch noise that was constant and not loud but enough to disturb sleep if you are sensitive sleepers like us. No black out curtain. We enjoy the place but didn’t have restful sleep. Perhaps not for people who are light sleepers. Owner/host were responsive and communicate quick. Well kept and safe property - just old, as it is

It is important to know that there is no visible staff at this hotel. There is no check in counter, no one to help you or answer questions. The building is not accessible to anyone who needs help with stairs, carrying suitcases, etc. No one comes in to change linens, make the bed, etc. While it seems to be a historical site, it is not comfortable and lacks services that most travelers are used to.

The Eliza room had very nice sheets. The bed was a little squishy for our taste so we didn't sleep the best. The head board made a lot of noise too. The bathroom is small so there's not much room around the sink to get ready. The room was nicely decorated as well as the rest of the home.

Parking was easy and secure. We missed having breakfast. At the present time, proprietors are only able to provide coffee & recommended a local bakery where we purchased delicious scones. I would advise older adults with mobility issues to try to book carriage as Eliza room and other rooms in house required climbing long staircase. Fortunately Ben, one of proprietors, offer to carry our luggage. Overall it was a positive experience.

Yes, beautiful place awesome host and friendly quiet room in the middle of the city. The porch and victorian style was grand

Excellent all around!! Very easy check-in instructions, adequate parking, room was beautiful, and very clean.
