The Hotel Hot Springs
This is one of our favorite places to stay in Hot Springs. My husband is VERY particular about where we stay and he approves of Hotel Hot Springs. It has changed a lot in the past 5 years but still worth it.

Comfort Suites near Hot Springs Park
Air conditioner was loud all night. Bathtub wouldn't drain while taking a shower. Made coffee in the room and there was stuff floating in the cup. I dumped it down the drain. Would not stay here again.
