    Staying here is a great way to engage in history,but remember the hotel is older so you can feel it!

    • King Room

    Those older beds can be quite lumpy so it's hard to get a good night's sleep at times. For someone who has a very sensitive nose, the spray that I assume is the air freshener is rather overwhelming, but I understand the need to keep things sanitized given the number of people and spirits that are always passing through ;-)

    GREATLY appreciate Gavin's immediate assistance with the leaky window from the rain storm by moving us to another availability since the carpet was getting soaked and we wouldn't have been able to keep the AC on since it's right by the window and if you know anything about the Crescent Hotel, those older rooms can get quite stuffy quite quickly no matter the season but it's still an awesome place to stay! LOVED the Haunted Tour of the hotel by Jinx, especially will all the great personal stories she shared - just wish there was more time since the time allocated just didn't feel like it gave it justice given ALL her awesome expertise!

    There was no exhaust fan in the bathroom and the windows were painted shut which made for sauna conditions after a shower. It was disappointing that the ghost tour was so expensive and wasnt included with the room which was a bit pricey as well.

    The Hotel was extremely comfortable and charming. The food was off the charts good. The staff went above and beyond.

    The Coffee was horrible! And when the front desk was asked if our breakfast was COMPLEMENTARY we were told it was! IT IS NOT!! Upset about that! Someone needs to explain what COMPLEMENTARY is.

    Absolutely beautiful! I love the church down below. Beautiful place to meditate and pray. The Hotel it’s self is Majestic! The staff very friendly and helpful!

    The interior of the property was ok, but the carpets need replacing along with lots of touch up paints. Rooms were pretty tired, drawers didn’t close, toilet didn’t flush well and shower/tub needs to be re-grouted. 4th floor bar area “Top of the Creat” had a nice view, but cocktails were brutal!

    Eureka Springs is a great town and the hotel was walkable to downtown albeit a big elevation change but that’s the area. It is a neat old hotel and grounds & trails around it were very enjoyable! The staff was also very pleasant.

    It’s exactly what you would want in staying in a historic hotel. The grounds and rooms were beautiful and it had the vibe my family was looking for. The ghost tours were amazing and we booked in advance. My family loved the heated outdoor pool.

    Very beautiful hotel with an interesting history. Well worth a visit if you are in Eureka Springs.

    The rooms are quite small (as you would expect historically) and the toilets are very low - a bit difficult for those of us that are a little older. The next morning after breakfast, we took our bags to the car, went for a walk and came back to the room only to find that the beds linens been removed and there were no towels left in our bathroom. We hadn't planned on leaving just yet. The housekeeping person apologized profusely. We hadn't returned our keys to the front desk yet and it wasn't close to the time when we needed to check out so we were a bit surprised.

    Hotel and staff was very nice. Beautiful woodwork. Our first night, we weren't in the mood for pizza and there wasn't another restaurant open in the hotel but the shuttle took us down to the Italian restaurant and back. Dining room breakfast and staff were very nice. Lastly, we didn't detect any signs of haunting in Room 207.

    Our unit didn't have a working hottub, although it was advertised. The family was very disappointed. We stayed here two years ago and some of the furniture is beginning to show a lot of wear.

    Perfect for extended family holiday gathering. A kitchen for making coffee and warming muffins before heading out to explore the town. Shuttle was a blessing! Hotel hosted a variety of activities for all ages. The units are tucked in the hillside, and the design reminded us of Thorncrown Chapel.

    Our room was obviously older and smaller with double bed. A mirror in the main room would have been a nice touch since the bathroom was small with a pedestal sink so hard to place personal items. The curtain rod on one window was falling and the window was dirty but probably not easy to clean on the fourth floor.

    The hotel lobby had lots of character due to it's age. The setting and grounds looked beautiful. We only stayed one night so there was probably much more we could have down. We had a drink on the fourth floor balcony, listening to a musician, while we waited to be seated for dinner across the hall. The pizza was excellent as well as the view from the outside dining terrace. I also went on the Ghost Tour which was fun.

    For 1 night stay was a little pricey for our liking but we did go at the prime "spooky" time in October. The rooms could be remodeled a little better. We understand that it's an old building. Will be back!

    Love the location. Beautiful scenery! Loved the ghost tour. It was nice there was a shuttle to get around places. Liked the antique/victorian feeling of the rooms. Super nice staff! Loved jasper the cat hotel manager 😊
