Pros

Private patios and balconies feature mountain and park views

Pet-friendly rooms allow unattended pets

Walking distance to Bathhouse Row and downtown attractions

Retro-styled rooms with vintage tiling preserve historical character

Cons

Limited parking spaces during peak occupancy

Some rooms lack full kitchen facilities

“The Happy Hollow's location appeals, placing guests within walking distance of downtown and directly across from a hiking trail; plus, the in-room kitchens are a definite advantage for longer stays. Though some find the renovations have softened its retro vibe, the convenience and price point remain attractive. It's a solid choice for travelers seeking practical comfort.”
