Wonderful

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.

Travelled with family and small children, Business traveller
My daughter gets nervous when we are away from home, but she felt totally comfortable and safe in our room, which in turn makes my stay more enjoyable. The room was very clean and cozy.and the staff made us feel welcome.
This property is tucked away from the hustle and bustle, but is just a short walk from bathhouse row and all the shops. We loved the simplicity of the rooms and the rate was fair. We loved the complimentary water bottle for us to fill up at the Happy Hollow natural spring, located just a few steps from our door. Even though we didn't bring our four-legged children on this trip, we appreciate that they are pet-friendly.
The only thing I would recommend is painting or laying traction tread at the ends of each step on your staircases. The monotone gray made it hard to distinguish each step which caused my husband and I both to experience some precarious stumbling (and yes, we were sober).
Cozy hotel with retro vibe. Unbeatable location within 0.3 miles of downtown, with trails that start right out the front door. Very friendly staff. If you value large luxurious bathrooms, this is not your pick. If you value location and immersion into the atmosphere of historic Hot Springs, this is the way to go.
It's a typical motel-style hotel. We enjoyed our stay and the staff was really lovely for check in. The location can't be beat. It's a two minute walk down the hill to get to Bathhouse Row, shopping and restaurants, and there's a cold water drinking spring right next door. We would absolutely stay again.
