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.

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.
