Historic, but very dated
No rooms were ready when we arrived at 4PM (check in was at 2PM). We offered to do some shopping and get a bite to eat and then come back. The only room that they could clean had 2 twin beds, not double beds that I reserved. Found out that they only have about 30 rooms available as several floors are for private use. The room had an old CRT style small TV that got horrible reception. There is no place to put anything. No table, only 1 chair, not even a luggage stand. The bathroom had a commercial style toilet that flushed loudly. Tiny outdated shower. The closet had no light so you couldn't see anything if you used it as it was also in the dark entryway of the room. The window view was of a gutter and a wall. We had hoped that the proximity to the main street and the historic nature of the hotel would have been pluses, but the cons way outweighed the convenient location. Only good thing was the front desk person was very pleasant and she was obviously trying, but was limited by the minimal staff and clean rooms available. We will not stay here again, but will choose a better hotel with more updated amenities.

I apologize for the issues that you had while staying with us. I have spoken will all of my staff about the issues that you stated. Our hotel is a vintage hotel so therefore we do still have vintage furnishings. Again I do apologize.

This was mine and my husbands first time staying at this hotel. The front desk staff was super nice!! The room on the other hand was a little run down. The air conditioner/heater barely worked. The bathroom is super tiny. The bed was not all that great but we only stayed for the weekend. We were barely in our hotel anyways so I would probably stay again!

This hotel is beautiful. Clean. Everything was excellent. The night clerk Arron and Jennifer made the night fun. They are very knowledgeable about the history of the town. I highly recommended staying at park hotel. Hiking trails are 20 ft away. The night life attractions are when in walking distance. Very safe. Thank you Arron and Jennifer, you’re the best

Building feels like history, that said your room should not feel like that; no microwave, no fridge, no flat screen tv, no phone in the room, ha a plug in the wall heater and a window unit ac. Blinds not curtains, not even a smoke detector i could see. The mattress, wow i could feel every spring on it.

Cool old building. Bathtub was not clean. Plenty of hair to go around. Room had a small lasko space heater running. Room never got over 63. WiFi was non existent. The room was very meemaw like and still had an old CRT Television that made a terrible noise. Dusty, dingy and in serious need of TLC.

The hotel has no central heating. The space heater didn’t heat the room adequately. This was supposed to be our 4th wedding anniversary. This is a nightmare. Trying to restrain myself from going full drill instructor on the hotel staff and management.

Beautiful because of historical reasons. However I feel it could be updated to accommodate more modern features. Because of availability, we had a room with twin beds. The mattresses needed replacing. The room had only a small electric heater for warmth. There was a thin bedspread for cover and we had to ask for extra cover.

Good location near restaurants, bathhouses and national park. Old building with character. It was very cold outside, and the covers on the beds were thin quilts. There was no heat in the room, only a small space heater which was not adequate.

Usually not a bad place to stay.
We have stayed here several times and never had an experience like this one. Our room was so cold! It had a ceramic heater but was still cold. We were given extra blankets for the bed but that doesn't help when you shower. On Sunday morning there wasn't any hot water when I took a shower.

National Historic Hotel Needs Upgrade
No blankets even though it was 30 degrees. Only a small space heater that wouldn't heat above 62. Phone did not work on first two floors.Wifi did not work on our side of the hotel. TV remote did not work, so desk gave us a bag of remotes to try.None of them worked. We realize it is on the National Register of Historic Places and did not expect anything fancy, but at least the services they advertised could have actually worked.

Thank you for staying with us. I apologize for any inconveniences that you may have had. My front desk staff should have given you extra blankets and should have programmed the remote to the t.v. for you! I apologize greatly that this did not happen and I have reprimanded the front desk staff about this. As far as the wifi issue goes we are in the process of doing upgrades and renovations and with the positioning of the mountains it does tend to block our signal. Again I do apologize greatly.

I will not stay there again. This hotel is 100 but really needs some major improvements. There was hardly any parking, no counter space in bathroom, bad patching on walls, the deadbolt on the door did not work, the TV was tiny and the picture was horrible and in the hall with the elevator there was no light. The best thing about the place was the Italian restaurant attached. Oh and it was walking distance to downtown Hot Springs.

Thank you for staying with us. I am sorry for any inconvenience that you had during your stay. The owners are aware of the light issue by the elevator. The weekends are extremely busy so yes parking is limited. However we do have 3 adjoining parking lots. Not just the one beside the hotel. We have been upgrading our tv services and they just got completed yesterday. We are an antique hotel. Nothing modern about us. Again I do apologize for any inconvenience. Thanks for your feedback

Historic hotel for a great price
The staff is amazing. The location is perfect. No cold soda available for purchase only a vending machine with snacks. You can get a small bag of ice from the front desk. The only a/c is a window unit which kept the room very cool but the hallways were brutally muggy ! Overall, a good value for a one night stay.
