Loved that Derby Inn was pet friendly, clean and secure. Also the fact that it was close to Oaklawn and Bathhouse row as well as central to pretty much everything Hot Springs has to offer. I would definitely stay here again.

Bed was super comfortable. Clean. Smelled good. The jetted tub was great. Nice centralized location. Lighting in the bathroom was kinda dark for those gals that need good lighting to do your makeup. Would definitely stay again.

We absolutely loved our stay at this brand new inn! From the moment we walked in, it felt warm and welcoming. The room had everything we could possibly need—a cute little kitchen sink, coffee pot, microwave, plus some thoughtful snacks and two bottles of water to get us started. Everything was spotless and impeccably clean, and the quiet atmosphere made it the perfect place to truly relax. It’s clear a lot of care went into designing and preparing this space, and it shows. We’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and well equipped. Thank you for such a lovely stay! ❤️

Charming, quiet, cozy little place to stay. The contactless check in was nice, was quick and efficient!
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Love the contactless check in/out and never having to see anyone but if you do have an issue they will respond to messages on the app. The snacks and drinks were unexpected but much appreciated. Thats something that made them stand out from other hotels to me. I would absolutely stay there again and highly recommend. I did have issues with the tub not draining water and the vent in bathroom needed cleaned but otherwise top notch!

Room was clean, it could be a little bit loud at times from traffic outside. Welcoming basket was nice, but they did not provide soap. TV was big, but I did not like the bright blue light from the Internet in the room while sleeping.

Hotel is conveniently located in downtown Hot Springs, only a mile or so from the National Park. The rooms are in great condition & newly renovated. The price was reasonable & includes free parking & wifi. They offer a SmartTV with streaming apps. There's no staff on-site, but the gate access & self check-in were very easy.

Very tight quarters. Door was hard to get open due to humidity. Seemed very damp. But room was overall clean except the floor. No contact entry and gated was nice.Well stay again but will ask for a different room. Greg- El Dorado
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Easy self check in. Fence inclosed parking lot for security. Room was comfortable, clean, and visually pleasing. Would definitely stay again! Room could use a cozy chair and the bathroom has no light over the vanity so it was very hard to see well enough to put on make up. Room had a nice little kitchenette but no pots, dishes, or silverware so we were unable to make use of the area.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The gated property was a plus. Keyless entry from the app-10/10! Cleanliness was fantastic. Tv screen was huge. Lots of bath towels, hand towels, & wash rags (not like most where you have 1 set for 1 person) I had 3 sets for 1 person. The room came with some snacks (chips, cookies, muffins, & bottled water). Responsiveness of the staff through text was quick & easy. Overall, I’d recommend. Definitely will book again. It wasn’t very busy, I felt safe (as a single woman, traveling alone, this was a huge plus as well).

Loved the fact that the owner was on site the first morning we were there to welcome us and to see if he could do anything for us. It is an old hotel that they have made considerable improvements on. We felt safe and it was very convenient to the track(walkable) We will stay here again.

It was a very clean and nicely remodeled room. It does need a comfortable chair for relaxing in other than the dining chairs. The snacks were plentiful and appreciated. The ice machine wasn't working while I was there. They were blowing the parking lot with a pretty loud blower at 7p.m. Probably would be better to do that between checkout and checkin. Overall I was very happy with my stay.

The Derby Inn was Fantastic! Rustic getaway smack in the middle of Central Ave. Short walk to Oaklawn racing/casino and of course the historic Rocky's corner! Very cozy, extremely clean, bed super comfy, and the TV is HUGE along with Fireplace, really sets the atmosphere for relaxation right in the middle of the city. Check in was very smooth and nice to have gated area with contactless entry - no key or card to carry around was very nice. Staff (which is onsite during the day) is SUPER Friendly and helpful! Stayed in the King Rustic and I can't say enough about how cozy and comfy this place is. Will definitely stay here again!
