It's a typical motel-style hotel. We enjoyed our stay and the staff was really lovely for check in. The location can't be beat. It's a two minute walk down the hill to get to Bathhouse Row, shopping and restaurants, and there's a cold water drinking spring right next door. We would absolutely stay again.

What a great place! The staff was very nice and helpful, I felt welcomed when we arrived, like I just came home and met a friend. The room was clean, with comfortable beds, and a nice shower. We had a small kitchenette with a sink, dishes, microwave, coffee pot, and kitchen table. We loved the balcony and enjoyed sitting outside with our morning coffee and cocktail at the end of the day. Super walkable location, trail heads right across the street, about a block from Bathhouse row, and there was a water filling spot right next to the hotel. We didn't move our car until it was time to go home. If we visit Hot Springs again, we will definitely stay at The Happy Hollow again.

Loved our stay at Happy Hollow, my only complaint was the bathroom/shower was small. Other than that we had a great time and was happy being able to walk to many things. Loved having the trail right across the street and the hotel is in a quiet area.

Retro but updated. All the basics you need for a comfortable nights stay. If you plan on walking around a lot and spending only a little time in your room, this is perfect for a budget friendly option. But they do offer cable and 300 channels if you decide to be lazy in bed. Everything was super clean, no carpet, staff had extra supplies if needed, ice available with disposable buckets, plenty of parking, spring water fill-up station literally around the corner, and just across from the entrance for the mountain tower path. I've stayed here twice now and absolutely love how peaceful it is. Also, if you're thinking of someplace else because of a pool, there's no need. Literally less than 10 minutes away (walking) is the Quapaw bathhouse where you can pay $25 for a day pass to soak in their mineral pools. They have a little cafe inside as well for drinks and snacks.

Thank you for allowing us to use the pool before check in. And then check in early. Rooms and property were really cute. Bed felt cushy at first but quickly after, I realized the mattress was very old and in need of replacement. But overall, worth the price.

The Happy Hollow a gem on our cross-country Road trip. We are traveling with pets and it was pet friendly, rooms are extremely clean and the grounds kept up. The location could not be any more convenient; directly across the street from a walking path to Hot Springs national Park and the scenic Drive to the top. It was a short walk to town to the bath houses and dining options. We did not require a pool or Jacuzzi I just really appreciated the peaceful grounds in front and the patio furniture on our front porch to sit down and enjoy our coffee . This is one of those small independently owned motels, built in the 60s, very well-maintained, and has the vibe I love when I’m traveling. I would absolutely stay here again. Also, the staff was very friendly and helpful.
