The room was very clean. When we arrived there was a basket with snacks and water bottles. The coffee area had a couple of muffins which was a nice treat. Check in is all electric which is very easy to navigate through. No front desk staff on property. The one staff member I meet in the morning was very friendly and helpful. The location is on the same street as the Hot Spring National Park about a mile in 1/2 down the road. We would stay here again.

There is no management. Here you receive a code to get inside of the gate. It is in a good location in this city. The room was very nice. It's under renovations. The breakfast is some muffins and coffee and stuff in the room. They tried to make it nice on a busy street, but very clean room did not see any amenities here.Other than the inside of the room, it is a very short ride to downtown hot springs

Love the contactless check in/out and never having to see anyone but if you do have an issue they will respond to messages on the app. The snacks and drinks were unexpected but much appreciated. Thats something that made them stand out from other hotels to me. I would absolutely stay there again and highly recommend. I did have issues with the tub not draining water and the vent in bathroom needed cleaned but otherwise top notch!

Room was clean, it could be a little bit loud at times from traffic outside. Welcoming basket was nice, but they did not provide soap. TV was big, but I did not like the bright blue light from the Internet in the room while sleeping.
