10 out of 10! This place is so cute! The rooms are very small, maybe 10x10, but everything inside is new and updated! Keyless entry. Air conditioning works great, there's a ceiling fan, and TVs come with a fire stick. Mini fridge, microwave and coffee. The bathrooms are also updated. The mirrors have the de-fogging feature. Bathtub and toilet were very clean. 100% would come back read more

So much has changed. The previous owners sold out. Everything is done digitally. My husband and I went Sept 2025 and our room was not as pictured - very run down. TV didn't work and had to move furniture to find it was unplugged. Texted/emailed host and received no help. Decided to cancel 2nd night which took more than a month to refund. It was not good. read more

Reservations are like roach motel. You can reserve, but you can't cancel (even though site says cancellations partially refundable). Beware! read more

What a cute little motel! It was decked out all vintage, I kinda felt like we were in a setting of Fallout Vault (iykyk). With the mini rooms and the decor. It wasn't super expensive and also was quiet, all the while really close to the downtown. Will stay here again! read more

We stayed in June of 2023. Absolutely awful. Greeted by a strange shirtless man who claimed he lived in a house on the property. We were excited to swim in the pool, the pool was filled with gravel and the breakfast area was blocked off with gravel as well. The rooms were pretty clean though. Great place to stay if you want the thrill of your hotel room being broken into in the middle of the night. read more

Fantastically upgraded retro motel. Incredibly clean and traveling as a single female, I felt very safe. Walking distance to bath house row in Hot Springs. Modern conveniences, contactless check in/out, and amazingly quiet for being in such a populated area. Will definitely stay again the next time I'm in Hot Springs. read more

I booked this room for myself, mother and brother for my birthday weekend. This was our first time here and I was excited for our stay here because of the awesome reviews and they accept dogs which was a huge plus for us. I knew driving in that it would look a little sketch from the outside, but I had higher expectations for the inside and unfortunately I was let down. The room cleanliness was questionable. The ceiling fan had piles of dust on it, I was afraid to turn it on or else it would have flown everywhere. We told the ladies at the front and they had a man come clean it for us which was very much appreciated. The baseboards were disgusting, it was super dirty under the beds, the shower curtain and towels had stains, and the beds also had a couple of stains on them.. they were clean, but stained. There were a lot of areas that just didn't seem well taken care of. The panels on the walls were coming apart, the ceilings had a ton of cracks, the attic access panels were so sketchy looking, and the floors were lifting in places. The ceiling fan glass was broken, and bulbs were missing, the other light fixtures had bugs in them. The restroom light fixture was rusty, gross looking and missing the cover on it. There was rust on the shower curtain rod, and the tub itself was just awful.. I didn't even want to step in it. It felt like you were going to fall through the sub floor while standing in it. The tile was replaced by fiberglass panels which is extremely unattractive and not what the photos showed at all. The tub and sink in the bathroom were constantly dripping and there was even a leak from the tub, leaving the floor wet in the bathroom at all times, and the kitchen sink was clogged. The doors to the bedroom and bathroom don't stay shut. The front door is also not super secure. It has glass on it which is also not shown in the photos.. so it felt very unsafe. Anyone could just break the glass and open the door. The yard area also looked very different in the photos. It's not well kept, it was grass I guess, but definitely not appealing in any way. It was overgrown and unattractive.. no landscaping at all. Also it is super loud in the room at night. We heard tons of loud cars driving up and down the street all night long. That's not any fault of the owners, just figured it was worth mentioning. With that being said, there were good things about our stay. The check in process was very easy. The key was in a lockbox with the code texted to me around 10am the morning of our check in. The ac worked well, although plastic pieces broken, it did produce cold air and we were very comfortable in the room. The beds were pretty comfortable (except for the pancake pillows), and the water was very hot. It could have been worse for sure.. I just personally don't think it was worth the amount of money I paid for the 2 nights. I've stayed in far nicer places for the amount we paid. read more

First time staying in motel type property, this place has 5 star review compared to the the other hotel properties in the area. Pulling up to the complex, it looks sketchy and run down. It didn't seem safe. Obviously it's an old town so similar places in the area look the same. We were ready to just leave and cancel our reservation even we lose one night. But I told my family to give it a chance. We went to our room and it's cute inside and super clean. The cleaning lady did an amazing job and our room was spotless. They even brought us clean towels the next day. Pool was open and it's decent size. We didn't get breakfast but they offer continental breakfast for the guests. You can also walk to downtown. I will say if u get passed the outside appearance of the property to give it a chance. read more

If my pockets were big enough, I'd ball up Alpine Inn stick it in my pocket and take it back home to Indiana with me. So, what makes a motor lodge in Hot Springs, Arkansas as cute as a button? Well, it could be the themed rooms, adorable and friendly Scottish owners (complete with the accents), complimentary breakfast muffins and granola bars in the room, proximity to downtown Hot Springs (walkable/bikeable), included mineral baths at Quapaw Bathhouse or, maybe the the official hotel cat that greets guests? Who's to say, but those are just a few guesses. Last but not least, only $70/night. All this to say, thank you dear Yelpers for yet again leading us to another great local find. read more

The Alpine Inn is cozy, clean and quaint. We spent 3 nights in room #7 which was decorated with an understated floral theme. Our room was equipped with a mini-fridge was big enough to house snacks and beer. We were impressed with the care that went into the restoration of this motel. With new carpet and fresh paint everything felt very clean and inviting. Other amenities include a delightful swimming pool, cable television and if you are so inclined a grill. The owners are a charming Scottish couple who are happy to attend to your needs. They can also recommend tourist attractions if you have any questions. This motel is located very close to bathouse row and the mountain tower. The Alpine Inn puts you exactly where you want to be. Highly Recommended!! read more

The Gold Inn was a cute, nicely renovated motel. Minutes away from Hot Springs National Park and the restaurants, bathhouses, and stores. The renovations in the immediate vicinity of the motel aren't the most visually appealing but didn't bother us. The interior of the room was a tight space, but immaculate and nicely decorated. The bathroom was very clean and large. The room didn't feel cramped but was smaller/comparable to a bedroom. For the price and location, Gold inn's a great place to stay for a quick trip or if you plan on spending most of your time out sightseeing. read more

I normally search for good deals and stay in 4+star hotels. I've never stayed in a motel before, assuming them to be "less than." Recently, my daughter and I have been going on different weekly road trips. Being a fan of all things vintage, motels have been catching my eye and I decided while in hot springs we'd give one a try. Having, when previously in Hot Springs, stayed in luxury hotels (The Waters once and Hotel Hot Springs once), I was a bit nervous. Well, if Gold Inn Motel is a taste of what I've been missing by not staying in Motels, then I have been missing some great stays! This motel was as clean (actually cleaner than some) as any luxury hotel I've stayed in. The beds are AMAZING and much more comfortable than the Ritz Carlton I recently stayed in - actually more comfortable than any hotel bed I've ever stayed in. I totally feel like - given the decor - that I'm in a 1930's -40's film. It's the perfect mix of modern convenience and nostalgia! Finally, I can't say enough about the employees I've interacted with. They respond to every TEXT and request within seconds. Matt (I think) even came to my door at 9:00 pm at night, after I text asking where I could do laundry. When I opened the door, 5 minutes after texting, he was standing there with an empty laundry basket in hand and said "Just load this up and I'll wash and dry your clothes and return them to you tonight!" I mean is this service or what?! My daughter and I took this trip to get away from the devastation to and the lack of electricity in our home and our hometown due to Hurricane Laura. Thanks to Matt, Jacob, Kristen, and Kylee, we are returning to a difficult situation with renewed energy and the excitement of many more road trips to stay at Gold Inn and visit Hot Springs in the future. Thank you Gold Inn for setting the standard of how awesome a stay at a motel can be! read more

We loved this spot! I travel for work so I prefer something besides a basic hotel when traveling for fun and this remodeled roadside motel was exactly what I wanted. It was a great mix of hotel and home that made our stay perfect. We upgraded to the king suite and had room #16 which was in the cottage in the back. Plenty of parking, contactless check in with a lock box and key and we were good to go. Room was cool, clean and comfortable. The bathroom tub was awesome but I wished for a little more shelf space for my things until I realized the old timey medicine cabinet opened. Too cute. Has a small kitchen area with fridge and microwave, regular size trash can and a nice shelf. Bed was really comfortable. The property is nice, a bit far of a walk from downtown more because of some run down spots between here and there than the distance. The pool is beautiful and private from the road. The owners were quick to answer texts and bring us what we needed and even gave us some tickets to the tower. Would recommend this place to anyone wanting to stay somewhere unique. read more

Super clean. Brand new renovations that have retro vibe. Super easy just book and you get a door code !! Will def be my go to place in Hot Springs. Such a gem !!! read more

I was able to spend two nights here on a recent road trip. The room was one of the cutest I've ever stayed in. It also felt impeccably clean. What it lacked in space it made up for in creative storage. The wall art centered on the National Park and fit well with the retro style of the hotel. They offer a limited breakfast but it was actually better than other hotels' offerings during Covid. The pool was delightful and made more charming by the garden bordering surrounding fence. The bathroom had wonderful shower, with places to set your shampoo etc., a very modern sink, and a cool mirror with great lighting and an anti-fog button. The only thing I would change would be a hook on the back of the bathroom door. read more

Cute boutique motel with a retro/vintage vibe. I stayed in a room with 3 queen beds. It was like staying in a small apartment as there were 2 bedrooms. Came with a mini kitchen as well. Hopefully they update the kitchen and bathroom area in the room so it matches the rest of the space. Pricing is very reasonable and the owners are nice and responsive. The pool area is cute too. They have breakfast in the morning- it's more of a snack but it's adequate. Location was great and just a 3 minute drive to downtown area. Would definitely stay here again. read more

Had the absolute pleasure of spending my first trip to Hot Springs at the Gold Inn. It's clear that the owners put in a lot of love (not to mention money, time, and effort) into this awesome boutique motel. The room and bathroom were immaculate. The aesthetic was fun and really cute. The details in the room really showed the thought the owners put into giving their guests a great experience- for example, they made a get-around guide with recs for where to get food, drinks, a bathhouse experience, etc., and a dark makeup towel for those of us that wear it (very smart and considerate of those of us that wear makeup). The pool deck is really cute and they provide coffee and breakfast treats. They allow dogs. Their rates are affordable. Again, the love put into this place is palpable and I can't wait to stay there again. read more

The owners could NOT be any nicer. And the location was great. Easy parking/loading. There's free coffee and snacks. I had a few issues with the wifi, although they tried VERY hard to make sure it worked for me. And I wish I had a desk or even a real chair. It was a small room with 2 queen size beds and not room for much else. But it was very clean, very quiet, very good price. And if I'd been there in warmer weather, I could have enjoyed the pool. So I might be back! read more

Great little motel. Sort of like a bed and breakfast but breakfast consists if 2 Otis Spunkmeyer muffins, 2 granola bars and 2 Capri sun drinks :-). There are sitting areas in back where you can relax. The owners Eric and Leslie are so nice. There is some covered parking. Eric said if the weather turned bad he would pull their cars out and let me park my new car under the cover if necessary. Eric took us to our room and showed us around. While not a new modern motel, the Alpine is clean and has a homey feel. It is close to the historic area. A little far to walk if you aren't in pretty good shape. Quick drive though. read more

We made a one night reservation, after skimming the Yelp reviews. We found the hotel, easily. We met the owner, and checked in....here's where it starts. The room was very tiny. Cramped, with a queen sized bed, a teeny chair, a t.v. to the other side of the bed. The space between the bed was about 2 feet either way. We kept bumping into each other. There was one outlet to plug in our phones, we took turns. The bed, which took up the entire room, was gorgeous. White sparking bed spread, gold shams. We spoke with the owner, who discouraged us from nb activity we were planning on doing. (glad I didn't, it would've meant 2 nights in or around Hot Springs). The owner was nervous about the room getting dirty, even though you clearly throw away your clothes, and shower at the facility. I went and looked in the refrigerator, which was packed with 2 prewrapped muffin packs, and Capris sun juice packs. There was an antiquated coffee maker...(note to self, bring the Keurig to avoid this). I went to wash my hair in a tiny shower. Very tiny. I went to plug in the blow dryer, no bathroom outlet. Drying my hair is a 45 minute ordeal. I bumped into my mom, had to unplug my phone and plug in the blow dryer, using the mirror near the t.v....odd. The suit cases took up part of the tiny space. The make up bags, the other tiny space. I wouldn't return here again. The plus side is: the hotel provided us with a 10% discount on Quapaw, and free wifi which occasionally worked. I used the wifi to look up the crime statistics in Hot Springs. then I heard neighborhood noises all night, and kept checking my car. I guess this room would be fine if you were traveling alone, bear in mind no bathroom outlets. read more

The owners are extremely nice and accommodating if you have ANY questions or want suggestions. So many small touches I would expect at a much more expensive hotel AND the location . I visit Hot Springs often and now will always try to get a room here when I'm in town. Thanks for being awesome hosts guys!!! read more

We were passing through Hot Springs and found good things said about Alpine Inn. The accounts were right on! The Inn was so well maintained, rooms were nicely furnished, our queen beds slept well (no kings available that night). The proprietors, Baker & Justin were very accommodating, and the coffee the next morning was excellent. We would definitely stay here again. Hot Springs was a really neat place. Went thru the bathhouse museum, which was very interesting and entertaining. The city is very walkable and friendly. We would definitely come back and when we do, we'll be staying at Alpine Inn. read more

Had a great 4 day stay over Thanksgiving. Stayed in the larger room in the cabin in back which had a separate "kitchenette" room with a sink/fridge/microwave. It was a quiet and comfortable stay for our first trip to Hot Springs that wasn't a day trip. The Inn is close enough to walk to the National Park area and all of the shops. Will definitely look into to staying there again. read more

Rooms were spotless and comfortable. Reminds me of traveling with my family back in the 70s, only better. Perfect location near the National Park. And as a plus in the midst of the pandemic, they have a very effective contactless check in system. Definely going to stay here again read more

Retro roadside inn with clean, modern rooms. Everyone there is friendly and helpful. Pool area is nice. Great location

If you're on the fence don't hesitate! Great place to stay and the most bang for your buck while in hot springs. The managers are so great to work with, honest and hospitable. Everything you need for a quiet, clean, safe place to stay. read more

So cute. Nice owners. It's just slightly off the strip but still within an easy walk or bike ride.

This place just gets better and better. I've been staying here since 2017, and it never disappoints. Please don't stay in a crappy hotel, or a super expensive one "in town." Stay here, in a lovely, unique, quirky little place with lovely neighbors, close to everything, but far enough to have a quiet sleep. Such a cool, off the strip, independent, awesomely weird little gem. read more

If you are considering a stay at the Alpine Inn while in Hot Springs, look no further because you've stumbled across one of Arkansas' gems. The owners, a friendly Scottish couple, are just adorable. They are sincerely concerned about their property and are sweet as pie. They helped us avoid the St Patrick's day parade route so we wouldn't get stuck in traffic - that's just one example of how nice they were all weekend. Staying at the Alpine really felt like a treat and it didn't break the bank - about $100 a night at their largest king suite on a holiday weekend. Our suite was very clean, the sheets and towels looked and smelled like they just came out of the laundry, and the bathroom didn't have a speck of mildew. That would never happen in a big chain motel! The breakfast included with the room was generous - fresh fruit, sweet muffins, cereal and milk, coffee, tea, yogurt, orange juice, bottled water... very nice! We had free wi-fi, a huge new tv with cable, a balcony that overlooked the property, and a non-squeaky non-lumpy California king size bed. The property may look like any other roadside motel on Park Ave. but don't let that change your mind about staying here. I felt very safe and there weren't any sketchy people hanging out, or guests being loud late at night (and on St Patty's weekend that's pretty much a miracle). I won't stay anywhere else next time I'm in Hot Springs! Last little tidbit- if you want to try the Quapaw Bathhouse, ask the owners for passes because you'll get them at a significant discount from the Alpine Inn. read more

Stop whatever you're doing and just stay here. This is exactly why Yelp exists - so that the little consumer's voice can share with the world something truly unique and special, and you'll know it's me. A corporation would never tell you to stay here. Why? This is a hand-remade gem tucked in Hot Springs, born of the blood, sweat and tears of a Scottish couple, and they're lovely people. And they should be proud to know that it worked out splendidly. Quaint, clean and comfortable, this is a lovely place and an incredible value. I look forward to my return. Say hi to Al the cat from me! read more

Per Yelp, I decided to stay here too for a night: ended up staying a second to see the town better, Erik and Leslie are good hosts, and Erik especially likes to talk to his guests about stuff. Very accommodating & cozy. The cat liked to hang out by my room too. read more

Wow! Where do I begin? We Just got back from our stay at the Alpine Inn, and everything that has been said here about the Inn is 100% accurate. The owners are very friendly and kind. They obviously care a great deal about their property and pleasing their guests. The buildings, while older, show a great level of maintenance. Everything was clean and fresh. The bed was comfortable, the room updated with modern amenities. The decor was calming and tasteful, not outdated or too fussy. We stayed in a room with a kitchenette and it had everything we needed. There were also a few "treats" in the room we could munch on, which was unexpected and pleasant. The Inn is located only a mile off of downtown, so if you're an active person, the walk is fine, saves gas and money on parking, too. Although it was close to downtown, the atmosphere was peaceful to us, and we enjoyed a few evenings out on our "porch" with "Al" the cat snuggled in our laps. I will always recommend the Alpine Inn to anybody staying in Hot Springs. read more

The owners are super great. Leslie greeted my sister, my husband, and I at the door. She escorted us to the upstairs "suites" above where they reside. It was charming in every way from comfort to practicality. In this space consisted of two second floor apartment style spaces with complete kitchens, bathrooms, and an adjoining balcony. My husband and I took the larger suite, my sister took the smaller, but we spent most of our time together on the balcony. Prices are amazing. Parking is abundant. The owners leave snacks and drinks such as granola bars and capri suns in a cute basket free of charge. They refresh your room every morning/afternoon depending on your schedule. Not a great neighborhood, but I felt absolutely safe on the premises. Super clean and comfortable. Incredible service. Refreshing experience! Beautiful renovation of an off charming read more

Okay, I'm trying to review this fairly and as a whole. Disclaimer, all in all my personal stay and room would earn right at or just short of 4 stars. While looking for a place to stay we noticed the overwhelming 5 star reviews and booked, particularly since the big old (supposedly nice) hotels downtown had 2-3 star reviews. I just want to address what I would have like to know in booking the room. Pros: We stayed in the house, which is great. I am not a fan of motels, those rooms where your bedroom door opens up to the street. That is what at least half of the rooms at Alpine are and I didn't really know that nor did I know that we would be staying in the house. In the house it is much more like a B&B. We really liked our room. It had a bedroom, small sitting room (2 TVs!), a kitchen with sink and fridge and a bathroom. It also has a balcony which was great--you do share it with the room across the way so a divider would be helpful but in our case on the 2 times I sat out to enjoy a cigar on the balcony (ash trays are plentiful in outdoor areas here, a vacation plus) my neighbors were not in need of the space. The bed was very nice, comfortable. There is a coffee pot, which is great. The pool is also very nice and well maintained, we enjoyed a few swims. The free snacks and drinks were also a great plus, I'm a huge V8 for breakfast guy and appreciated the touch. The owners seemed very, very friendly and helpful. I imagine that is at least some if not much of the reason for the across the board 5 star reviews. Cons: The only real problems in the room we had were that the wi-fi was extremely spotty and usually didn't work much at all for us and as it was a very hot summer and there is no central heat and air and only window units it was very hot on our first night. My guess is that the room had been vacant and the window units were off prior to our arrival. We left them running while we were there and by the second night it was perfect temperature and we slept well. Also, location. Although in theory it would be THAT long of a walk to the activities and sites, in summer heat it is too far and for night life I wouldn't want to risk a walk back after drinks and from what I could find there are no reliable trolleys or taxis. That said, it didn't seem to be in a crime ridden neighborhood, it' s just that this end of the strip is in need of repair and renovation and the only real eatery close by is the Park Avenue Bistro (a must dinner). I have a feeling that if the strip ever builds out again and gets closer this will be a prime location. I would certainly consider staying here again if I could be in the house or a similar arrangement. There was an electric fireplace so I imagine a fall/winter trip here would be spot on. So, like I said, I think my trip was closer, all in all, to a 4 out of 5 star spot especially considering how affordable this place is. But, to be fair and discuss it all, I would have to give a 3 or a 3.5 as if we'd been in the road rooms we'd have ranked the stay lower. I hope this seems legit and fair for a review! Just my opinion, I think it's well worth the money if you're considering it. read more

great prices, great proprietors, lovely little room, cute inn! Like others, we ended up staying an extra night, definitely the place to stay! Very generic on the outside,the place is very well kept and the owners make it great! read more

THE place to stay in hot springs.. this place is adorable. super clean, lots of charm, and the super friendly scottish couple made us feel instantly at home. we got a customized map of downtown, and they gave us a buisness card so if we got lost downtown we could call them if we got confused... (this alone is worth of 5 stars in my book!) oh, and REAL coffee in the room. a+ also our room was $68 for the night, which is a steal for what you get here in terms of hospitality and comfort! couldn't be happier after a day on the road! read more

I was just passing through Hot Springs AR and the Alpine Inn was recommended to me by another hotel that was sold out. I was a little skeptical at first because it has a motel appearance and I was traveling alone and worried about safety but I quickly felt right at home. The owners are so sweet and helpful. They immediately made me feel safe and welcomed. After getting into the room I was impressed how adorable and modern the room was decorated. This is definitely no motel this is a boutique hotel in Arkansas, I was shocked. Though its not right on the strip its just a quick ride down to the town and well worth it for comfort and price. What was supposed to be a one night stop over to Hot Springs turned into a two night relaxing stay. I contribute that to the Alpine Inn and my perfect stay. I highly recommend this as a place to stay when in the area. In fact I plan on returning and bringing friends. read more

Great place to stay! The owners are extremely nice and accommodating. My girlfriend and I were driving across country and stopped here for a night (called ahead and one of the owners waited for us to show up!). Great service, very friendly, felt like staying at a family place more than a hotel. Rooms were small, but were well laid out. I think the only true negative thing was the finishing in the shower (a _very_ minor detail in comparison to how great the place was). Everything was very clean, TV and WiFi were free. read more

We've been coming to Alpine Inn for about three years & have always enjoyed everything about it. The wonderful charm and character of this place is a distant second to the owners, Eric and Leslie. We consider them friends! Be sure to look for "Al", the parking lot cat. He will grace you with his presence if you're lucky enough! read more

Cozy, clean, well-cared for, great location! I loved the owners --- so sweet and welcoming. The bed was too firm for my taste, but if that's my only complaint, you can see why I enjoyed my stay so much. There was satellite cable on both TVs in our suite. We also had a kitchenette with coffee maker, microwave, and mini-fridge. The coffee provided was REAL coffee! Not that crummy folgers stuff. And since we had a fridge, I could stow a carton of half and half in there for my morning cuppa. They offer free wi-fi, but note that the signal is stronger in some spots than others. The price was right, too! Oh, and there's a cute cat, Alpine, who wanders the grounds. He was very stand-offish the first day I saw him, but on the second day, he let me pet him. Next time I go to Hot Springs, I will definitely stay here again! read more
