The place is "extended stay", and it looked like it was still full of Katrina refugees who lived there. At 1AM, the parking lot was hopping with activity.

When we arrived, we had to "call" someone on the phone on the wall to open the door. She was dressed like she was going to a Snoop Dog concert - due rag, gold chains, baggy pants, etc,... and the place reeked of pot. After she checked us in, we walked into the hallway to see a huge white cloud of smoke as we discovered the meaning of the Snoop Dog attire and smell - someone was having a pot party! No kidding, there were several people in a big cloud of smoke in the middle of the hall.

The hall was also full of trash bags full of trash as I assume the people "living" there has trash pickup the next morning and placed their trash right outside their door.

After we quickly found the elevator, the carpet in the elevator looked as if it had never been vacuumed or cleaned- dirt and trash blended in well with the stains.

We found our room and entered to the stench of bacon. I guess someone had cooked a big breakfast that morning. The carpet was so stained and nasty, we would not walk on it barefoot. There may have been a clean patch of carpet in there somewhere, but we couldn't find it. The 3 foot red stain in front of the sofa was a nice touch. I couldn't tell if it was fruit punch or someone gutted a deer in there.

The bed was "turned down" of sorts, as the pillows had no pillow cases and were thrown about the bed. I had to take one of my shirts to put over the pillow as a makeshift pillowcase.

The bathroom was fun as well - no towels, but they did leave us a shower mat. The wallpaper was slapped on the wall as if someone guessed the size of the wall, cut it and slapped it on. The bottom edge was so crooked, it was all over the place - 6 inch gaps all over.

We opened one of the draws to discover a "used" porn magazine. A very nice touch indeed.

I have stayed in local hotels and motels in very small towns across this country, and have to say this was one of the filthiest motels I have ever stayed. The management of the hotel chain needs to inspect this place and either find new local management of tear it down.

The hotel staff was rude to beging with at the check inn and check out and not willing to see fault. The rooms were clearly NON-smoking, since there where non smoking signs every where. The rooms where filled with smoke along with a urine filled stench. The floors where disgusting various stains. One room appeared to have blood stains, cigarette burns and had not been vaccummed. The beds where a balancing act and a safety hazard. Could not sit on bed in fear that the bed would collapse. The stench of smoke and urine quickly penetrates into your clothing. Thankfully there was a Hampton Inn 2 minutes on shackelford that was AMAZING. The staff at this hotel went above and beyond to accomodate given our situation and provided a complimentary breakfast. I would give the Hampton Inn 4 stars and the extended stay studio plus zero stars this hotel does not deserve it.

We have stayed at this Studio Plus in years past and found it to be a good value. However, management has changed, the hotel is under staffed, and as a result Sudio Plus in Little Rock is not being kept up and is not clean. Carpets, tile floors are very dirty. One of the outside doors has a broken lock so anyone could walk in at night without a key. Do not recommend any longer.

The price was good but the hotel could use some improvement. The carpet and bathroom definitely need upgrading. Exercise equipment was all broken. The hotel was quiet and staff was friendly. I am not a picky traveler, but would not recommend this one.
