When is the best time to go to Side Town?

The best time to visit Side Town is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months. These periods offer the most pleasant weather, with mild temperatures and less humidity, making it ideal for exploring the outdoors and enjoying the town's attractions. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer season, allowing for a more relaxed experience. For those interested in hiking and outdoor activities, spring brings blooming wildflowers, while autumn showcases beautiful fall foliage, particularly around the Ozark National Forest. The local farmers' market is also in full swing during these seasons, offering fresh produce and local crafts. If your primary focus is water-based activities on Lake Side, then the summer months (July and August) are best, despite the higher temperatures and humidity. The lake is at its warmest, superb for swimming, boating, and fishing.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Side Town hotel for you.

Top Side Town Hotel Reviews

Hotsprings Village Inn

8/10 Good

"I walked into bathroom, NO towels at all!!!!! Breakfast was horrible. why not reduce room rate by $15.00 and I will buy my own breakfast."

Embassy Suites by Hilton at Hot Springs Convention Center

8/10 Good

"The only reason I am giving it a 4 star is because unfortunately, our room had bed bugs… I woke up around 3 am and my arm was tore up. I immediately freaked out and found blood spots on the blanket. I took photos and went down stairs and the amazing desk clerk made sure to switch me rooms immediately, and took care of all our laundry for no charge. Then there was a guy running around saying the ( N word ) acting crazy and the staff once again hurried and took care of that and im greatly appreciative of the staff for sure! I would definitely stay here again, even though we ran into some issues, but the staff made sure we was taken care of and for that I’m thankful for."
