Top hotels in Side Town
The Hotel Hot Springs
The location is perfect for the downtown area where you can walk everywhere without driving. The staff is so nice and helpful. The breakfast is horrible for this hotel.

Arlington Resort Hotel and Spa
Location is great, and we love old, historic hotels. This one is showing its age, but really looking forward to see what it looks like after its renovations!

Embassy Suites by Hilton at Hot Springs Convention Center
The breakfast was an absolute cluster mess. Lack of food, no silverware, no plates, no napkins, no hot water, coffee was horrible if you could find a clean cup. Happy hour was a joke. The lines were horrible and again lack of food. Don’t advertise it if you can’t provide it. Our room only got cleaned ...
