Nice Hotel

Very good accommodations right in town. They have a very nice great area in the center of the outdoor area overlooking the pool. No having to go to some dirt back alley here. Rooms are comfy with everything you need. Wood floors make it feel fresh and clean. Closet was large. Really the only complaint we had was that the shower head only put out enough water to cover a small part of your body. No seeing on the adjustable sprayer allowed fire what felt like a sufficient shower. Their restaurant patio was under construction so we were unable to dine there but it looked fantastic. Overall a solid B.

Great set up for outdoor dining

We loved the custom looking picnic tables under a white tent, nicely spaced, Astro turf on the ground. Extra lighting hung underneath. Very attractive outdoor area. The food we ordered was beautifully presented and looked delicious. Everything seemed fresh. For our personal tastes the food was " too savory" no sweet notes in the food everything was a strong flavor. Not bad just not what we were expecting. The restaurant is lovely and super busy so I would chalk this up to just out personal likes and dislikes.

Excellent

We went on a cool evening and were the only ones on the patio. The food was delicious we had chicken spring rolls, pineapple walnut shrimp & a bowl with pork and shrimp and noodles called "Bun Tom Thit Nuong Cha Gio" . Everything was so tasty. Service was friendly and fast.

Awesome experience

They have about eight tables on the sidewalk with a glass canopy above which I didn't notice at first. Services prompt, pleasant and efficient. They brought our dog a bowl of water and we're happy to have him. Several employees stopped by to say hi to him.

The food is on the higher side of the price scale but everything we had from the bread and butter to the brussel sprouts to the fish was outstanding and well worth paying for. Diagonally across from the patio area is a nice park so you're not just looking at buildings and the traffic on the side street, on a weekend evening, was very light

Simple maybe too simple

With only five items to choose from the menu is very simple. Perhaps too simple, chicken or pork, rice and steamed veggies. The peanut sauce was ok. The chicken was most and tender but had no flavor. The pork was somewhat fatty. The broccoli was steamed perfectly. Pricing was very reasonable. Outdoor space was picnic tables. Napkins and silver ware are on the table and you 're requested to bus you're own table. Drinks are limited to cans in a cooler. If you are looking for a full fledged Thai place this is not it. Service was fast and efficient. Just not a place we would return to.

Great food, friendly service

Really good food with quick friendly service. Patio had about 6 tables space heaters were present but not umbrellas. Perhaps a little early in the season (Early May) was impressed how clean the whole place was. If you like your pizza crust on the thinner side and crispy this is the place!

New name, Great Food

May 28 2022.
We called ahead to be sure this place was open and I thought they said a different name when they answered the phone. In any case we walked up to a large comfortable patio that said dog friendly patio in big letters. We were promptly seated and ordered off their very great menu. The food was delicious and the service was great. The restaurant is very cute inside a desserts looked amazing. Several staff members stop by to see the fur babies on the patio. Great find, though I never got the story on the name change. Highly recommend The Range Cafe.

Nice Hotel

Lots to like about this property. It's attractive and clean and although it's close to everything you don't hear. Peep inside your room seems very well insulated and built. Staff is friendly and helpful. Property is extremely clean and offers lots of extra amenities that most hotels don't even come close to offering. Big spacious rooms. Clean well lite bath rooms. The areas for the pups were a little bit limited but available nonetheless. Very enjoyable stay. The only minor complaint is that the quality of the bed did not rise to the level of the actual hotel. It was not as comfortable as a other hotels in the same price category. Staff was very friendly towards my dog and informed me that his name was on the reservation when we checked in, which was a nice touch.

Shadow of it's former Self

As of May 2022 I can report this place is still open. Staff was friendly and there was a front and back patio. The food however, is straight out of the bag or can from the grocery store. Really tasteless and uninspired. Hope they can find a chef soon.

Super Friendly Staff

This is place seems to be a regional chain. We were quickly seated on the patio despite the weather being iffy. Our waitress was prompt and helpful with suggestions. The manager and other staff members also stopped by to see our fur baby. Patio is well designed, with multiple seating formats umbrellas and is very clean. The weather held for our dinner and a few more patrons even joined us out there. Very positive experience. Fiid selection was good and portions were generous. Solid B on food quality and A++++ on service and atmosphere.

Nice Property

Nice setting for this hotel. Quiet and comfortable. I liked the smooth check in without lectures and forms concerning my pet. Not all services were available due to COVID, Restaurant & Club for example. I did not need those but imagine others would. You would need a car to go anywhere from this property. Room felt very comfortable and is only just starting to show it's age. Heat and ac worked well. Internet was good. Most rooms are going to be fairly far from a door so not as convenient for taking the pet out. My smaller pet was easy to manage, but keep in mind the doors to the exterior are not close for most of the rooms. It is set up as a conference hotel.

Outstanding!

Very simply, this is the very best Italian food and the very best recommendation on this app! Every bite was wonderful. The staff was fantastic and the restraunt is beautiful. Spacious patio with lots of tables in a quaint restored old part of town. Can't recommend it highly enough.
If you're in this area, don't miss it.

Needs Improvement

This property welcomed is warmly with our pet. Gave us a convenient lower level room. But the reality is this property is badly in need of an update. The carpet in the hallways was written and there was an unpleasant odor. Doors to rooms were chipped and damaged. Rooms themselves seemed very tired, furniture, stained and dirty. Floors seemed only marginally clean. Bath vanity did seem newer and towels were okay. Bed was acceptable. We got up and left early the next morning as it just was just not a room you wanted to spend anytime in. Being my first experience at a Candlewood suites I was concerned that this was how all the properties were. However, the very next night I stayed in a Candlewood suites in Maryland and it was very lovely all remodeled. So I believe it was just this property. Don't book this hotel unless you verify they've had an update since May of 2022.

The Whole Package

From a super friendly staff to a hotel that has everything you could possibly need. This is the most comfortable you can be traveling with your pet. Staff was very interested in our pet and making sure we had anything w needed. property is very attractive and sits way back from the highway. Overall just super comfortable. The only negative about the property is something they can't control: the traffic on the main road accessing this area. It seems to be big east-west corridor and traffic is super heavy day and night and it requires patience to get in and out of the service road and parking area leading to the hotel. Luckily there is a traffic light to assist.

Amazing!

This restaurant had a very comfortable patio in a large shopping center that had a big grocery store and several other restaurants. A sign in the window Said they were short-staffed and to please be patient with them. I was a little concerned. I stepped inside and was immediately greeted and assured they'd be right out to take our order.
Their menu was great and they had almost everything we ordered and we enjoyed every bite. Despite that, sign service was quick, friendly and the food was delicious. We had fried items, seafood items, poultry and fresh items and all were universally great.
We chatted with another couple on the patio that had a pet as well and their food was delicious and they were very happy with it too. They seem to have meat, potato salad entrees. Friendly, great location and nice patio and to top it all off The prices were super reasonable! Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area.

Good location lots to like

This five story hotel has all the things you need. Location is fantastic with a grocery, has, many restaurants and even a show walking distance. Common areas of hotel and bathrooms and entry to the rooms seem updated. The rooms are probably due for a cosmetic update soon. Carpets a bit thin, sofa felt worn and bed a little firm. However, everything worked good from water pressure, good ac, fridge microwave, tv. Staff very helpful and friendly breakfast is adequate and there is a cozy outdoor area with a fireplace. Well worth a couple small compromises for incredible location. And of course they love dogs.

Perfect package

This hotel seems tucked away from the world up on a hill East of town but offers great location just 1 mile from all the conveniences you may need. Rooms are nicely remodeled and the property is quiet. Was able to get great rest. Lobby is very attractive with fire place and restaurant. Great areas all around the hotel to take your pet. Easy plentiful parking. Highly recommend. Everything was great except the shower water pressure was a little weak for our taste.

Excellent Breakfast

brick and spoon is super clean, well located restaurant has great parking and a spacious indoor dining area. There are lots of patio tables for the pups. They offer water bowls and great mountain views from the patio. Our server was super friendly and service very fast. On a long road trip. This was easily our best breakfast yet!

Good choice

Hotel felt newer, had everything you needed. Bonus points for great water pressure in the shower. Speedy check in and out with nice airport style carts to bring luggage in. Close to great and train tracks but with a on and fan going not really a problem. Would stay again.

Hotel is Not Very Pet Friendly

To clarify, the hotel is newer clean, modern and well located, especially if you're flying in or out or driving down interstate 40. However, There is no dedicated pet area. The little bit of greenery up against the hotel is all muddy and dirty and not suitable to take your pet in. A small strip of grass at the very front of the hotel on an extremely busy street leading to and from the airport is the only grassy area. If loud noise and traffic bother your pet you won't enjoy taking them out. Large comfortable looking lobby area combo. Breakfast area is off limits to pets so you basically just have to walk on the tile hallway to and from elevator. Nothing special was done for the pet just a pet charge. Rooms have laminate flooring so if there was an accident clean up would be easy. Would not recommend this as a pet friendly hotel to anyone.

Great Choice

Hotel is well located on West side of Little Rock. Very clean property. Rooms were large and super comfortable with everything you need and just a touch nicer than most places in this price point. Check-in and check out very easy, provided breakfast was good with a nice selection. Hotel was very quiet. Great grassy areas all around hotel perfect for a larger dog who needs to roam or small dog looking for a close convenient relief spot. Highly recommend.
