This is a long one, but PLEASE read if you are ever planning to stay here. Also see the review of “Sad Sad Sad...” by Jacky-O and others that are similar as they are SO true. Recently made a return trip to what I now call the “Un” Happy Hollow. My wife and I took advantage of their pet friendly... more

Hotel staff looks for a reason to be rude. Rooms old and musty. Only stay if you are a hermit or running from the law. Better rooms for the price available. more

The Happy Hollow Motel in Hot Springs is a real find! While it is older, it has a quaint '50's era feel to it. Despite it's age, the rooms at the Happy Hollow are very clean and the staff is wonderful. At $58/night with a full kitchen, it is a real deal. I would recommend it to anyone, especially those... more

We stayed twice - once in the room with two double beds and the kitchenette and once with the single double bed and mini-fridge. Both times met every one of our criteria: clean, quiet, courteous staff, and close to what we came to do (hike). We were right across the street from our path. The place is owned by a... more

After reading reviews here, thought we would give this place a try. It is old, very old, and funiture is old. BUT, it was clean, price was GREAT, and lady at desk was nice. We talked to a few other guests that felt the same way. We paid $126 total for two nights on a weekend. It is about a... more

Hot Springs seems to be full of pretty dilapidated hotels and motels - rather like much of the town, they've seen better days. Unfortunately, this motel was no different. The staircase leading up to our stairs had a pretty horrid smell - something reminiscent of boiled cabbage. The room clearly hadn't been redecorated in years ... the carpet furniture looked... more

The Happy Hollow will definately be our accomodations for future trips to Hot Springs. From first glance when pulling in, I thought the place was a little dingy - however, when I met the owner she was very nice. The room was VERY clean! For $58 a night, we got 2 full size beds and a full kitchen - which... more

My family and I stayed three nights at Happy Hollow and absolutely loved it. We have a 5-year-old and a 16-year-old who also loved it. It is older, very quaint and the lady that runs it is a doll. It is VERY convenient to downtown (we walked everywhere) with free parking and great hospitality. We didn't bring our pet, but... more

It seems that depending upon what type of person you are, you will either love the Happy Hollow motel or you will hate it. Personally I loved it. Yes it is older, yes it is quaint and yes it has some problems... but it is in a great location and has a great price and the sheets were clean! The... more

I booked this hotel for a Valentine's day weekend trip to Hot Springs for the horse races with my wife. Usually I stay at the Arlington or the Park, but one week in advance the Arlington was full and the Park required a two day stay, and we only wanted to stay Friday night, so I chose the Happy Hollow... more
