Quaint older motel in downtown Hot Springs. The bedding has been upgraded and is very soft and comfortable. The air conditioning works great. Small fridge and microwave, some rooms with kitchenette. Free parking. Walk to town. The couple that manage the property are very sweet and helpful. This is definitely our go to place to stay in Hot Springs.

The cutest little gem of a hotel located in the Hot Springs National Park. This was our 4th time staying at Happy Hollow and we'd stay here again anytime we're in Hot Springs. It's a retro looking motel that sits in the National Park. Rooms are always super clean. Staff is friendly and gets you whatever you need. Loved that our room was so spacious and all for a great price. Walking distance to the hikes of course but also to the main drag in Hot Springs.
