Cozy little place

It’s a cute little hotel that could use some updating but we were very happy with the customer service and it’s tucked away from the craziness of bathhouse row. But still so close to walk. It gives such cozy feel. Would definitely stay again.

We slept well here!

Older property, we had a spacious room with a nice balcony and a kitchen table/sink/refrig/microwave. The price was great. Decent beds, quiet, and a container provided for collecting spring water from nearby fountain. Location is walking distance to Hot Springs bathhouses. Free parking/no breakfast. We had breakfast at a famous pancake shop nearby. Across the street are hiking trails to park.

The happy hollows was an overall great experience! The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The room was spacious, clean and overall comfortable. There wasnt even an extra for our puppy. The motel is not even a mile away from tons of things to do. If I return to hot springs the happy hollows will be my first choice in lodgings. 5 star visit

Our room was small but comfortable, the room had a very musty smell that we could not get rid of. Staff did not seem concerned about it. This is in a good location to downtown area, but it is quite old.

Stayed here probably near 50 times in the last 10 years—such a chill welcome place, close to all the fun and surrounded by the National Park. A trail runners/hikers paradise.

My husband and I loved our cozy room and felt so relaxed in this great community. The room had everything we needed! I loved the extra touches like ceramic coffee mugs and eco friendly toiletries. Bed was soooo comfortable...we were walking distance to town and the mountain. Great value and such an attentive and helpful staff. We are coming back soon!

This is just the cutest motel. Vintage but updated with comfy bedding and fluffy towels. Just lots of personality. The sweetest couple manage it and we learned so much about the history. The cold spring the motel is named for is steps away. Also right at downtown area but in a scenic quiet area. You can easily walk around town and the trails on the mountain above Central Avenue which is great since ALL of town is now paid parking. As another plus your fur babies ate also welcome. My daughter and I enjoyed our birthday girls weekend very much.
