...you stayed at this hotel when you see some of the others downtown. My boyfriend and I stayed here because we were on a budget, and it was only seventy dollars a night (on a race weekend) we really weren't expecting much at all. I was impressed as soon as we came in, the room was bigger than I expected for a single. There was a mini fridge, coffee maker, desk, hangers: all the little things that are sometimes screwed up when you stay at a discount hotel were spot-on here. The shower curtains have a bar that curves out, which I thought was nice, I always feel trapped in the little hotel shower/bath combos. Basically it was just a room, but as soon as we drove downtown we became VERY grateful we had stayed there. Alot of the hotels down there look plain dirty, maybe they're nicer on the inside but I would have been apprehensive as soon as we pulled up to anyplace that looked like most of them did.
My only complaints: the hot tub wasn't working (jets, but cold water), and they seem to have washed our towels and taken my extra even though we hung them up to indicate we wanted to keep them. However, if we had cared that much it would have been easy to go down to the desk and grab another.
To summarize: good, clean place to stay, especially if (like us) you just need a place to keep your luggage and sleep. If you're going to go with a chain, this is a good bet.

We stayed in room 113. Room was clean had 2 beds and small frig. for drinks.The biggest problem was the light out side the window was very very bright. Which was hard to sleep. But the other side of hall wouldn't have been much better do to huge car lot on other side of parking lot. The owners very friendly and Hot Springs is very nice town.

Our group was headed to Hot Springs for the Hot Springs Bike Rally. This was our first time visiting Hot Springs. There were 3 couples in our group. One of the couples had booked at a historic hotel downtown, but the rest of us wanted to stay a little on the outside of town. It seemed like a good idea and also fit our budget. We drove up from Louisiana and followed the mapquest directions. Well we still managed to get lost. I called the hotel and spoke with Brenda who assured us that our rooms would be waiting and also gave us excellent directions. When we finally got there we met Paul Modi, the manager. He was soooo helpful. He directed us in so many ways. He pointed out the best way to get to different points of interest and places to eat. He printed out directions when we wanted to see the diamond mine. The whole staff was very helpful and warm. That first night, that other couple came to visit us at the Super 8. They were NOT happy at their fancy hotel. They spoke with Paul who was able to accomodate them the following day. Now don't get me wrong, this is not a fancy hotel. This is a basic down to earth hotel. It has clean rooms, clean towels, clean linens, a continental breakfast with a few extras, and very nice people working there. And guess what? The price was fair. We stayed 4 nights/5days and the bill came to a little less than $350. We spoke to others staying there and most were return visitors. This was our first visit to Hot Springs, AR, and we plan to return next year. When we do, we all WILL stay at this Super 8. They made our stay thoroughly enjoyable.

This hotel was fine, I mean it was a Super 8. The free breakfast was ok - cereal, milk, juice, microwave sausage biscuits, danishes, that sort of thing. The pool was a major factor for us since this was a trip with the kids, and they love the chance to swim. The photos you see here are very misleading and make the pool look HUGE and it certainly is not that. 4 ft. at the deepest end, and very small. With our crown of 5 adults and 4 kids it was ok, but add in other guests and other bigger kids jumping and splashing around, well it was easy to get kicked.

We planned this trip to stay 3 nights and 4 days, and decided on the last day after checking out to go stay at the Arlington for a night. it was SOOO much better, and when you stay at the Arlington with kids the price per night is about 20 or 30 more per night. SOOOO worth it - see my review there for more info.

All in all, Super 8 was a nice to average hotel, but for the price you may as well stay someplace really nice!
