Travel tips
Having a car is recommended since the hotel sits in a commercial area off State Highway 7 and most major sights -- including Hot Springs National Park, Garvan Woodland Gardens, and Magic Springs -- are a few miles away rather than walkable. Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort is a notable exception, just a 5-minute walk from the property. Guests planning to iron clothing should request an iron at check-in, as rooms may not include one by default.
