"Where shall I begin? I normally do not make reviews, however our experience prompted one. There were 3 elevators, 2 of which did not work, and the Derby and other events were going on in town. One time, we tried to take the stairs to the ground floor to avoid the wait, only to find out it was a fire exit only. They have the soap dispensers on the wall (no bars of soap), which were empty in the shower. This should have been an item checked by the cleaning crew. The shower's water pressure was not the best, and the shower could have used a cleaning. No vent in bathroom. The hotel did not have a fitness center. Breakfast cost $15 (we did not try it). Parking options by yourself were down the street or went through a third-party to pay in another lot. We chose valet, $20 a day. The valets were probably the highlight of the stay, as they were always courteous and timely. Bring cash to tip these gentlemen (as you should), because you can't add it to your bill. During checkout, we were told we could not get a receipt because it went through a third-party, which I have never experienced before in traveling for 20-plus years. This seemed a bit sketchy. The hotel is within walking distance of bathhouse row and other attractions, so there is that. We had a room on a corner or edge, so other rooms may differ in layout. In ours, you could hear the elevator all night. Do your research on other hotels close by before selecting one. "

"Very dated, but cool history behind it’s past. Beds are very firm; I’ll bring my own plywood next time. Very nostalgic property."

"Easy check in, convenient location. Nice water views. Amenities are enough for a few days. No wine glasses...but it was clean and pleasant! "

"It was the perfect little getaway, secluded but close to everything we came to see. The lake view was so peaceful, we and the host was quick to respond. 10/10 Recommend!"

"It was perfect for 4 couples wanting to enjoy a getaway with good food and great horse racing! Plenty of room to visit. Sitting on the deck in the evening overlooking Lake Hamilton was great!"

"Property was very pet friendly. Very quiet and accommodating."

"House and property were perfect. Especially if you need handicap accessible. Steve and Peggy Sue are onsite, making them always available. Will definitely be back. "

"My 2 daughters, 1 of their friends and myself (mom) booked this cabin for a mini spring break that would let us bring our 2 puppies. What a pleasure this Lake House provided. the weather did not cooperate, but the property was perfect. we were able to play with the puppies, go hiking in the national park, cooked at the cabin for supper one evening, cooked breakfast daily. Plenty room for all of us. Enjoyed seeing deer. Spent evenings watching movies. were going to play games provided by the host but just ran out of time. We loved the cozy "lake" decorations and theme. We had no issues with the directions to reach our destination. All the rules provided were exactly as stated. We fell in love with this little property and would definitely visit again. Hopefully in the summer so we can enjoy the lake. The property is just minutes from downtown Hot Springs and we were able to enjoy the St Patricks day parade. Enjoyed some shopping and on our last day were able to visit the Bath house and spent time just soaking int he water! Thank you so much for providing such a special property to unwind, relax and bring our dog."

"Can't say enough about this wonderful house. The owners thought of everything (and more) to make it comfortable and cozy. This is by far the cleanest and most well stocked home we have rented. This home will become our go to for trips to Hot Sorings! "
