The City of Hot Springs agreed on Tuesday night to a counter offer from Gary Hassenflu, the owner of the Majestic Hotel.

The city originally offered to purchase the historic hotel for $680,000.00.

On Tuesday, Hassenflu countered that offer, agreeing to the sale price of $680,000 but wanted to include in the wording of the sale that the value of the property is $2,032,000.00.

Hassenflu also wanted the balance between the value of the property and the purchase price to reflect a $1,352,000.00 donation, on paper, to the city.

The hotel was the subject of a 2013 viral video by Abandoned Arkansas.

While under renovation, the hotel suffered a massive fire in 2014.
