Location is excellent, only two block walk to bathhouse row and restaurants. The happy hollow cool mineral water spring is very close and hotel gives you a bottle to experience the water. Older motor inn that has been refurbished and National Park trails go in front and behind the motel. Had a great time.

A great location a few minute walk from Bath House row in Hot Springs. The motel was clean and quiet. The room was small, but definitely good condition and clean. Good quality for the affordable price. Location was close to all the major spots in the park as well as a the Happy Hollows Spring one of the only cold springs in the park. Parking was easy. Staff friendly. Lawn games available too!

Cozy little place

It’s a cute little hotel that could use some updating but we were very happy with the customer service and it’s tucked away from the craziness of bathhouse row. But still so close to walk. It gives such cozy feel. Would definitely stay again.

We slept well here!

Older property, we had a spacious room with a nice balcony and a kitchen table/sink/refrig/microwave. The price was great. Decent beds, quiet, and a container provided for collecting spring water from nearby fountain. Location is walking distance to Hot Springs bathhouses. Free parking/no breakfast. We had breakfast at a famous pancake shop nearby. Across the street are hiking trails to park.

The happy hollows was an overall great experience! The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The room was spacious, clean and overall comfortable. There wasnt even an extra for our puppy. The motel is not even a mile away from tons of things to do. If I return to hot springs the happy hollows will be my first choice in lodgings. 5 star visit

Our room was small but comfortable, the room had a very musty smell that we could not get rid of. Staff did not seem concerned about it. This is in a good location to downtown area, but it is quite old.

My husband and I loved our cozy room and felt so relaxed in this great community. The room had everything we needed! I loved the extra touches like ceramic coffee mugs and eco friendly toiletries. Bed was soooo comfortable...we were walking distance to town and the mountain. Great value and such an attentive and helpful staff. We are coming back soon!
