We always love staying at the Happy Hollow. We call it a diamond in the rough. The great staff, allowing pets and the proximity to the National Park and the town center far outweighs the flaky paint

I love how it still captures the charm of its era. The place is very clean and in an ideal location—perfect for bringing your dogs along. It’s nestled at the foot of the hill with hiking trails nearby, yet right next to the vibrant strip of town. Highly recommend!

The location of Happy Hollow is convenient to the hiking trails, the cold water spring, and a short walk to downtown. Staff was friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable but the pillows were not firm enough for my needs. Kitchenette was a bonus. Cute retro motel with everything you need.

Great Stay

Hotel staff was very helpful and professional. Happy Hollow is a bit "older" but that's the charm of being right in Hot Springs. So many awesome old structures. Happy Hollow is about 100 yards from one of the fresh water fountains where you can fill bottles with the natural spring water. It's right across the street from the Mountain Tower with some nice hiking trails leading up to it, or if you're lazy like me you can drive to the top. Bathhouse row is literally less than a ten minute walk. If you wanted to hit the casino you'll have to drive but it's only 10 minutes down the road.
