When we first drove up, my husband and I thought, "Uh, oh..." It looked like an old vacant motel from a movie. Then we got the key to #6 and realized we were right on the lake with only a tree and a picnic bench between us and the water. While the furnishings may have been dated (green carpeting etc.),...

I normally visit Hot Springs in early May knowing that it can be a little cooler around that time of year. This time I decided to visit in September and was quite pleased that the temperatures were in the lower to mid eighties. At this time of year the rate was $49/night which is extreme affordable for families on a... More

I think we found a hidden gem in Hot Springs and its name is Willow Beach Motel. As some of the previous reviews said, the property is pretty old. The interior is dated and it is not the Hilton. Make no mistake about that. With that being said, I just loved our stay. We stayed in room #3 and it... More

Is it the Ritz Carlton. Nope, and you will be disappointed if that is what you are expecting. It is, however, 20 feet from the lake, quiet, clean and comfortable. We paid 67 bucks. And for the price you can't beat it. It's a short drive to many restaurants, shops, and downtown Hot Springs. The chairs were a little wobbly... More

We stayed at the Willow Beach Motel for our 1 year anniversary. This place is a little (okay a lot) hard to find. It's very tucked back from the road so make sure you know where you are going before hand (our GPS saved the day) and if you get in after check out time the keys are at another... More

We went to Hot Springs the weekend of July 23-25. We had tried to get cabins, condos, etc. Unfortunately we didn't start planning our trip until the Monday before we were to stay. We were lucky to get Room #8 at Willow Beach Resort and Cottages. We were unsure, after looking at web reviews, what to expect. When we got... More

Have been staying there since the late '70s. It is in better shape now than in some of the times past. Room I had was CLEAN and well kept. It is NOT a condo (thank goodness!) it is ON THE LAKE..steps from the room to the lake..price is unbelievable for the pool, the view, the peace....could not be better! More

I have stayed at this motel for many years first with my children and now my granchildren. I try to come back at least once every summer. It is the most relaxing place to me. The check in staff are always friendly and helpful. The rooms are always clean and fresh smelling. It is an older motel, but if you... More
