On the main St so getting around was easy. Room was excellent. As a couple with phones, oxygen, and 2 cpap machines we were pleasantly surprised​ to find many surge protectors, so plugging in was easy.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The pool was a bonus, warm and relaxing, not cold like most hotel pools. It’s a not in the downtown area. I chose this hotel because it is a short walk to a coffee shop, a brewery, and the Hot Springs Aqua Center.

Room is spacious, very clean, nicely decorated, and has what looks like fairly new carpet! Definitely a Mom and Pop operation. Very sweet welcome and blessing posted next to the door. Don't see that at a Hampton Inn or Motel 6!
