Waterfront! Firepit~3 King bedrms~playroom~kayaks~near restaurants
Our stay was a 10/10 experience! Plenty of room for our young family. We enjoyed cooking breakfasts at the house, loved kayaking in the lake, and had so much fun with the record player. The house is close to lots of activities, but is a quiet serene waterfront oasis. I would highly recommend this ...

The Hotel Hot Springs
Hotel is nice, room was clean, but something bit me in my bed. Breakfast buffet for $15 is a ripoff. Eggs tasted like powdered eggs, coffee was bad.

Embassy Suites by Hilton at Hot Springs Convention Center
Loved our stay. Only issue was it is right next door to a convention center and there were events going on during our stay. People parked in the Embassy Suites parking lot so we had to park several blocks away.
