A Room With A View in Hot Springs - I was here for work so I didn’t get much site seeing in, but the hotel did provide a list of good restaurants to eat at in the area. The gym is something I look for in hotels when I travel and they have a “good gym” (decent is having at least dumbbells up to 75 pounds with a pulley machine to at least give you some versatility). The breakfast area is a little lackluster for the overall look and feel of the hotel. The menu is also a bit sparse and a little on the expensive side for what it does offer. The room itself was fantastic! I had a room with a balcony view and it had a fairly good view of the marina. The bed was comfortable (pillows too soft), but the entire room was very spacious and clean. I needed to check out early due to finishing the job early and the hotel did initially penalize me for it, by charging me an early checkout fee (essentially a way of saying we’re charging you for a full night’s stay without saying that). The next day I was able to work it out with the general manager who refunded the fee.

very pretty but second thoughts, better the blue temple - The white temple is a modern inspiration from an artist. it is very pretty and unusual but somewhat lacks autenticity and has a philosophical error showing hell which is not compatible with buhdist teachings. The blue temple is a lot more interesting. dont miss it. easy to continue to the long necee village which is charming but touristy.
