Visitor Review:

We spent three nights in Hot Springs looking at properties. The first night was in a King non-smoking suite at the Embassy Suites for $134 w/o taxes. We decided to try another hotel since this seemed a bit pricey compared to other hotels we researched (Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express). First we looked at a lake view room at the Baymont Inn - it had a nice view of the water, but the room seemed a bit older and not extra clean, so we went to check out the Hampton Inn - it appeared to be O.K., but they had sprayed the room with a perfumey deoderizer so we feared that there might be smells we wouldn’t want to live with for two days. We settled on the Holiday Inn Express since we had stayed at an extremely nice one in Mountain Home, AR a couple days before. We spent the first night at $89 w/o taxes in a standard king N/S room (this was a few $ more than the King N/S suite we had stayed at in Mountain Home). We were sadly disappointed - it was older and in need of a thorough remodel and cleaning. The woman at the front desk told us they were in the process of remodeling rooms - they have the new bedding, but need new carpet, paint, etc.
Back to the Embassy Suites for our third night. Once again, the room was the same price, very clean, and modern. This hotel is well kept. Since it’s next to the convention center, it is aimed at business travelers, but we were very happy there with the two conventions in progress. The breakfast was better than our first stay - I think this was because of the large Blue Cross/Blue Shield convention in progress. In addition to the omelet bar, they had other hot foods (french toast, oatmeal, grits) and cut fruit that they didn’t have during our first night stay. We wouldn’t have been able to stay an additional night because it was booked by the conventions.
They have a very clean laundry facility with two washers & dryers - only 75 cents per load, unlike the $2 we have recently seen at some hotels.
The indoor pool and exercise room are in very good shape and open late. They have a “sun” deck for those who want to sit outside and read or catch some rays.
Since we were looking at property, we didn’t take a stroll down Bathhouse Row, but noticed that it seems to close up early. We did go to the park where the hot springs water is pouring down some rocks - pretty little park in the middle of town.
We went out to see Hot Springs Village, but they won’t let you in unless you are a “guest” of a resident or realtor. We weren’t impressed with that area because there aren’t any amenities (stores, restaurants, shopping).
Don’t be put off by the looks of the area around Bathhouse Row and on the way out to the Village. Take a four mile drive down to Lake Hamilton on Hwy. 7 - you will find many restaurants and a nicer part of town. The lake has everything from condos to multi-million dollar homes with boats/jet skis for rent. Try the little restaurant at Fisherman’s Wharf - I had a decent crab cake and clam chowder for a good price.
