We stayed at Degay Lodge and it was the most wonderful peaceful experience. This is the first time…read morewe have stayed at the lodge as we are usually camping in the summertime. The staff allowed us to check in early and the room had an INCREDIBLE view of the lake. There is bicycle rentals (some have kid seats) and a nice playground for children on the grounds. The room contained a refrigerator but no microwave. The bed was really comfortable! The buffet breakfast does not come with the room and is an additional $7.99/person. The buffet features fresh fruit, oatmeal, cereal, bagels, pancakes, bacon, sausage, busicits, and scrambled eggs. The food was OK. A sunset boat tour of the lake for $8.50 (for an hour and a half) was one of the activities going on. There are many other activities in the park which we did not participate in. The walking trail around the lodge is lit up so you can enjoy it at night. This lodge is located 22 miles from Hot Springs so we enjoyed our day trips there.

The only con that I've experienced after visiting this place three times now is how salty the gumbo is. Don't know if it was just a rough batch the day I had it but it ruined the dish for me. Aside from that, everything else has been a great experience! The beer flight is definitely the way to go, and I also like how they have a ranking board of their beers to help you pick out what you want to try.

I heard that the Little Rock High museum was a must see while there so I decided to check it out…read more The museum/visitor center is about a block away from Little Rock High, so it literally took a couple minutes to walk there. I'm not sure if they have a parking lot since u walked there, but it seems like they have plenty of street parking since I saw a lot of people parking on various sides of the museum. The museum itself was really interesting and even though it was small it was very informative and provided ample methods of learning the information, including videos, audio, timelines, and other information.

Visiting the Little Rock Central High National Historic Site was a must for me as I feel it's…read moreimportant to bear witness to history. In 1957, nine Black students integrated Central High. This integration was considered a test of Brown v. Board of Education that found that "separate but equal" was unconstitutional. The National Historic Site consists of the Visitor Center/Museum, Little Rock Central High School (which is still an operating school), the Commemorative Garden, the Magnolia Mobil Station (which served as an impromptu press base), and the Elizabeth Eckford Bus Bench. It is managed by the National Park Service. Admission is free and they allow photos. The museum is small and does not take very long to walk through, though it will take some time if you read all of the panels and watch the videos. They offer guided tours on certain days. If you're doing a self-guided tour, you cannot enter the school. Central High School is very beautiful. The architecture is a blend of Art Deco and Gothic Revival. Climbing the stairs was an extremely heavy feeling that I wasn't prepared for. As I ascended the stairs, I imagined what it would have felt like to walk through angry mobs just to go to school. It was honestly overwhelming and I don't know if I would have been able to endure such hatred and discrimination. I'm grateful to the Little Rock Nine for their courage, perseverance, and resiliance.

The skinny I gleaned from the conversation was: The decent: Starting price of $199, after being hesitant and multiple price drops, it went down to $99 at the time of the call (Who knows if there was later unmentioned costs). $100 worth of giftcards. pretty good discount on a hotel stay for a couple sites to no destinations of interest but they would cover my wife and I if we sit through a 2 hour timeshare presentation on the second day. Promise of a 3-5 day cruise in the caribbean out of FL. The Bad: No travel expenses are covered whatsoever (Understandable). The hotel discount is only for the room cost, so additional hotel fees and taxes are on me. The free cruise would still include port fees, taxes, ... (All of which I'm not interested in paying for a cruise I'm not actively looking to go on) I couldn't find a single good review online. All stated to avoid at all costs. I'm sure there is a way to get a good trip out of the deal, but after looking at all the reviews online, I had to pass.

The upstairs rooms have balconies that are shared which seemed a little strange at first but we got to meet the person staying next door and she was pleasant.

Yeah it may not be as modern and chic as the big hotel chains but it's still a great place to stay.

This technology (signs) has been around for thousands of years. Get one!
