My wife and I have made it a habit to get away to a Eureka Springs B&B or hotel on a regular basis since we moved into SW Missouri in 1995. We've also stayed at B&B's in other parts of the country and Canada so we've been in a bunch and are somewhat picky. So far, we've stayed at several in ES and I have to say that Suite Alice at the Lookout Cottages is our favorite so far.
The Suite Alice is a perfect size for a 2 or 3 night stay. There is a sun room with a couch and table where we read many of the journal entries of previous tenants. (That's always a hoot!) The bathroom was large, contained a shower (with dual shower heads - a surprise!) and large jacuzzi tub. There was also a small refrigerator stocked with bottled water, juice and a couple of sweet rolls (breakfast?) which unfortunately were hard as rocks when we got up the first morning of our stay. But we knew that a real breakfast was not provided with the Suite Alice (as it is in the main house of the Cottages) so we were prepared and brought our own breakfast foods.
Other amenities included a medium to large LCD TV with DVD player and about a dozen or so movies, all of good quality.
The Suite Alice is one of two in the Gatehouse which is separate from the main building of rooms and although the other side was occupied for the entirety of our stay, we never heard a peep from our neighbors. Nor were we bothered by anybody else! It was completely private and relaxing; exactly what we were after in this 3-night getaway. However, when we requested more water and coffee creamer, it was delivered promptly so the service, when we wanted it was great.
Another feature of the Suite Alice and Lookout Cottages is its proximity to the Crescent Hotel and much of the older Eureka Springs neighborhoods and businesses.
Overall we were very pleased with the rooms, the price, the location and the ambiance. We highly recommend the Lookout Cottages.
