It has been a while since I stayed in a motel, and truth be told, I usually stay at the Homestead when I am in Hot Springs. It is nice, however, to have an option that is not $400 a night, especially if you are whizzing in and out of the area. This perfectly suited my needs. My room was very clean (which might be my #1 requirement), the bed was comfy, the AC worked great, it was quiet, the water pressure was on point, I had cable tv, the kitchenette was perfect (it was stocked with the essentials, had a new stove, microwave, sink, plenty of paper towels, and a great fridge/freezer combo) for me to do my dog food prep, the property has dog friendly rooms, and there is plenty of lawn to walk referenced dogs. :) It has also been a while since I have benefitted from the convenience of parking right in front of my room. I did feel safe the whole time. The manager was super friendly, helpful, and extremely available in case I needed anything. I really felt like I got great value for the extremely reasonable (and low) price of my room. Does the parking lot need re-paving? Maybe. Does the exterior need a refresh? Perhaps. Has each room been modernized to perfection by the best contractors around? No. Did I care about any of this? Definitely not because this is a motel, not the Omni, and investment dollars have been spent wisely on things that matter so travelers have a clean, comfortable, and the most cost effective, high-value option in this area. Would I recommend it? Absolutely!
