Clean, comfortable beds/linens, outdoor seating and convenient to walk to restaurants and bathhouses. The Terrace walkway entrance was just 1/2 block away and was a perfect quiet stroll to the other side of the bathhouse row.

The happy hollows was an overall great experience! The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The room was spacious, clean and overall comfortable. There wasnt even an extra for our puppy. The motel is not even a mile away from tons of things to do. If I return to hot springs the happy hollows will be my first choice in lodgings. 5 star visit

I love how it still captures the charm of its era. The place is very clean and in an ideal location—perfect for bringing your dogs along. It’s nestled at the foot of the hill with hiking trails nearby, yet right next to the vibrant strip of town. Highly recommend!

We always love staying at the Happy Hollow. We call it a diamond in the rough. The great staff, allowing pets and the proximity to the National Park and the town center far outweighs the flaky paint

Our room was small but comfortable, the room had a very musty smell that we could not get rid of. Staff did not seem concerned about it. This is in a good location to downtown area, but it is quite old.
