Oaklawn lodging recommendations?

[Milkshaker]

Any Oaklawn lodging recommendations?

Walking distance to the track (1.5 miles out is fine) would be preferred.

Parts of Hot Springs to avoid?

Thank you in advance.

i wish i knew, i was there once about 40 years ago and i only flew in from Dalas for the day. what i remember was the place was packed and i got shut out of making my bets all day, but the people there were all pretty friendly and i made a friend with a guy that i had spoken to every day after that until he died 5 years ago.
