Our first hotel of the trip

This is taken from the door.

This is taken from in front of the dresser below.  The bath is in the door with the mirror

 

 

 

This is from the bed area in the first picture

Boy do these pictures make that room look good!  It was HUGE, but oh so strange.  It is really sad because this hotel, like its surroundings reminded me of a grand old lady. Once beautiful and gracious, now quite seedy.  The park across the street (through the triple windows) was probably beautiful.  This being Hot Springs had lots of bath houses in the area.  But we didn't do much looking around.  The heat wave had hit here even in mid June.  Plus, it just wasn't a neighborhood conducive to wandering - at least for me.

The closet isn't included in the pictures, but it is between the mirrored door and that chair in the above picture.  You can see the remains of plumbing - like for a sink. All in all the closet was strange.

The room was clean.  It was BIG, but the a/c left a lot to be desired.  The thermostat on the wall in the door to the outside alcove didn't seem to work.  I'll bet that this was a great room at one time for a family.  I have never stayed in a room as large as this one.

To be honest - I was glad we were only to be here one night.  This hotel was built in 1905 I believe. 

I will post pictures of the second old hotel in the next couple of days.

Peace
