Hot springs and Little Rock

Hi I m Vicky, I will be visiting and need some suggestions.
What area is best to stay in hot springs and LR?

West Little Rock is one of the best areas to stay in here.

Thank you

In Hot Springs I would try to stay at the casino but they may be booked up for Derby weekend. The Double Tree, Courtyard, or Embassy Suites would be reasonable choices. The Arkansas Derby is coming up on Saturday March 29.
