Econo Lodge Hot Springs South

Econo Lodge Hot Springs South

8/10 Good
"FYI, this property is being converted from a Motel 6 to an EconoLodge, so have some grace. Room was dated but spotless. The front desk was extremely kind and sincerely listened to me. I’m a female, traveling alone. I booked this via Hotels.com because it was the least expensive in Hot Springs, and unfortunately, with that, had a very low rating which I would normally not engage with, but I just needed a bed and a sink, after I learned my usual campground was closed. There was just one other car in the parking lot upon arrival—noted and unnerving. There was also a plexiglass surround at the front desk, which was also unnerving. The attendant directed me to room 202– upstairs, which I checked out and it felt very remote and disconnected so I came back downstairs. I wanted to be closer to human contact at the front desk, which he gladly accommodated. After getting settled I came back to thank him for his attention to my concerns, he was disassembling the plexiglass screen that was at the front desk because he listened to my thoughts about it and agreed it was not a good signal for guests, and took it down. This is a discount hotel. But clean. Good TV. And conscientious new owners. Well worth the $56.09"

The listing also stated that there would be a welcome basket for us when we got there and it wasn’t. Over a good experience, but I just wish the communication was heightened and that the promises in the listing were fulfilled."
