The Hotel Hot Springs
We did have a big challenge but once we called for assistance they were quick to respond. Did not eliminate problem but did control and make us feel more confident.

Arlington Resort Hotel and Spa
The rooms were not really clean and the walls had plaster coming off. They charge you a 50.00 incidental fee per day not just for your stay… and parking is $22 a day in a parking garage that has no lights and no stairs you have to walk down the ramp and hope the car will see you. At check in you ...

Baymont by Wyndham Hot Springs On the Lake
The hotel’s location was nice. The lake view is very pretty. We chose the hotel because of the breakfast reviews, but found breakfast to be average at best. The restaurant inside was closed, and is only open during their busy season. Overall, the location was nice, but amenities were lacking.
