Arlington Resort Hotel and Spa
Across the street from Hot Springs National Park. Turn of the 20th century hotel in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Bedding and bathroom were clean. Rooms need some upgrading but think it is limited as to what they can do since this is an historical landmark. Dead bolt to door didn’t work. Great Ice cream ...
