Heard about the Hotel Hale while visiting Hot Springs in 2022 and now had the opportunity to stay there. Oh boy, was it worth the wait! So old school, a definite white glove experience, including excellent service and attention to detail.
On the day of my arrival, Heather called me mid-morning to ask my general ETA and give me tips on how to park "near" for off-loading luggage since the hotel is on the main street and has no direct car access.
I wanted a room with seating so selected the "Libby" which has a cafe table plus 2 chairs. Loved this room, though mind you, it's street-side. Lots of light and I thought it was very quiet, even for May.
Heather took me to my room and showed me how to carefully fill up the tub without burning myself. The water is SUPER HOT, and really, you can fill it with cool water and be totally rejuvenated. I later returned to the front desk and bought some bath salts w/CBD and was given a $25 gift certificate for the neighboring store where the salts were sold. The bath was divine, what else can I say? I stayed in the bath maybe a half hour and was a complete noodle afterwards.
Heather also showed me the mineral water in a carafe (in the mini fridge), homemade cookies from Eden Bakery, homemade soap, as well as fresh robes, towels, etc.
Breakfast is part of the room cost and served 8-9a, so before retiring, I handed in the my selected menu items. You have a choice of Bacon/Spinach or Spinach/Feta Quiche, Hard Boiled Egg, Greek Yogurt, Fresh Fruit, Muffin, and Juice...or you can have it all!
You can also have a full carafe of coffee delivered to your room in the morning! With cream!
The king bed was firm...YAY! plus you can control the thermostat to your liking.
Upon check out, I asked where I could get BBQ to go. I was told to visit Stubby"s BBQ and happily relayed "The mayor sent me!"
The hotel owner and mayor (one and the same) also does the valet car-parking ($25 - what a bargain).
Everyone at the hotel was friendly and personable and f. I had the most fabulous time and can't wait to return!
