The Belmont at PWC
Guest rating: 4.6 / 5
Overview
The Belmont at PWC is a single, thoughtfully remodeled unit within a historic motel property in Hot Springs, Arkansas, themed around the Belmont Stakes and thoroughbred racing tradition. Subtle equestrian touches give the room a refined, Southern-charm feel while keeping the stay simple and no-frills. It's designed for travelers who want a clean, affordable, and convenient base rather than a full-service resort experience.
Rooms & In-Unit Amenities
The unit features a queen-size bed, full private bathroom with starter toiletries, a microwave, ironing board, and cable TV, plus air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort. Free high-speed Wi-Fi and on-site free parking are included, making it easy to settle in without added fees. The property is smoke-free throughout.
Location
Situated just minutes from downtown Hot Springs, the property is within walking distance of numerous dining options, including American, Latin American, German, and Tex-Mex restaurants, and is close to Bathhouse Row, Oaklawn, shopping, and other local attractions. The nearest bus stop, Park Ave & Bower St, is only 65 meters away, and Hot Springs Memorial Field Airport is about 7 kilometers out. Because the property sits along a main road for this central access, guests should expect some traffic noise, particularly during the day.
Dining Nearby
While the property itself does not offer on-site dining, guests have an unusually dense cluster of restaurants within a short walk or drive, including Fat Jacks, Ohio Club, Rolando's Nuevo Latino Restaurante, VAULT, Brick House Grill, Ouachita Bar & Grill, Colorado Grill, Steinhaus Keller, and Diablos Tacos & Mezcal, covering American, Latin, German, and Tex-Mex cuisine.
Pet Policy
The Belmont at PWC is pet-friendly, accepting pets for an additional fee at booking, though pets may not be left unattended in the unit.
Best for
This property suits budget-conscious travelers, solo guests, couples, or those on a weekend getaway or work trip who want a clean, themed, affordable room close to downtown Hot Springs. Its free parking, free Wi-Fi, and walkability to numerous restaurants and Bathhouse Row make it convenient for guests who plan to spend most of their time out exploring rather than using extensive on-site facilities. Pet owners will also appreciate the pet-friendly policy.
Travel tips
Book with the expectation of some road noise since the property sits along a main thoroughfare, especially during the day; light sleepers may want earplugs or to request a quieter room. The Park Ave & Bower St bus station is just 65 meters away, making it easy to get around without a car, and downtown Hot Springs attractions like Oaklawn and Bathhouse Row are only minutes away. If traveling with pets, confirm the pet fee and rules in advance, since pets cannot be left alone in the unit.
What guests say
Guests generally praised their overall experience and highlighted the cleanliness of the unit as a strong point. On the more critical side, a guest noted that the air conditioning and heating unit was loud enough to disrupt sleep, and another reported trouble reaching the host to resolve a Wi-Fi password issue, with no phone number available for support. That same reviewer also felt the room was overpriced relative to the experience. Overall sentiment remains positive, with cleanliness and satisfaction as recurring themes alongside occasional concerns about noise and host responsiveness.
