I booked the Happy Hollow because we wanted to hike and be able to walk to Bathhouse Row. AND it looked cute in the pictures. We were more than impressed with everything we were looking for!! The trail system access was very close, the property is so cute-we really enjoyed our little patio, and it was a quick walk to the bath houses and springs. A cold spring water drinking spigot is very near the motel, and we filled up all of our bottles to take home. Not to mention friendly check in and service. We loved our stay and will return if in the area.
