Hotel is conveniently located in downtown Hot Springs, only a mile or so from the National Park. The rooms are in great condition & newly renovated. The price was reasonable & includes free parking & wifi. They offer a SmartTV with streaming apps. There's no staff on-site, but the gate access & self check-in were very easy.

It was a very clean and nicely remodeled room. It does need a comfortable chair for relaxing in other than the dining chairs. The snacks were plentiful and appreciated. The ice machine wasn't working while I was there. They were blowing the parking lot with a pretty loud blower at 7p.m. Probably would be better to do that between checkout and checkin. Overall I was very happy with my stay.

Loved the fact that the owner was on site the first morning we were there to welcome us and to see if he could do anything for us. It is an old hotel that they have made considerable improvements on. We felt safe and it was very convenient to the track(walkable) We will stay here again.

The Derby Inn was Fantastic! Rustic getaway smack in the middle of Central Ave. Short walk to Oaklawn racing/casino and of course the historic Rocky's corner! Very cozy, extremely clean, bed super comfy, and the TV is HUGE along with Fireplace, really sets the atmosphere for relaxation right in the middle of the city. Check in was very smooth and nice to have gated area with contactless entry - no key or card to carry around was very nice. Staff (which is onsite during the day) is SUPER Friendly and helpful! Stayed in the King Rustic and I can't say enough about how cozy and comfy this place is. Will definitely stay here again!

Our room was clean, but we only had one towel the first night. Housekeeping quickly brought more towels the next morning. Our room could have used a chair, maybe remove one of the nightstands. We also could not get our fireplace to work. Convenient 1/2 mile walk to Oaklawn.
