Me and my husband just got done staying at the crescent and even though I didn't sleep because I was so freaked out it was awesome. We went on the ghost tour it was awesome could of swore someone said my name down in the morgue. We stayed in room 301 no much went on but the that while my husband was sleeping he was making the weirdest sounds talking about some women named Theodore.weird huh.as I said in didn't sleep. I did her someone banging on the wall in the room next to us but nobody was staying in there at the time. Anyways all in all the hotel is amazing we will be returning hopefully not time we will get one of the haunted rooms so I can see something.

Great three day getaway in a quaint, out of the way place over a holiday. Fun Historic Hotel of America in an interesting location for something to do in the winter- especially in that it is less than an hour to the new Crystal Bridges Art Muesum in Bentonville everyone was talking about. For the holidays there were special brunches and buffets included in our room rate that were very nicely done- regardless of our "rustic" server who was foremost concerned with what we "saved" so we could tip adequately. Property was 5 years from its last major renovation and was quite nice and servicable- and it probably shows better when not in the dead of winter. If you value charm over perfection- it was well worth the experience. Unlike others' ratings- TV worked flawlessly, as did the gratis wi-fi- important on Christmas day when everything in town is closed.

No matter what discount you think you are getting online- call the dest and ask for the best deal. Seems things are very flexible rate-wise and the desk can work with what they have and make things work for you cheaper than anyone else can. I didn't believe that until I checked in and was set straight and proven wrong.

If you want to come to this location, this is the place to stay. You can trust your GPS (mostly) to get you there. Lots of interesting stores and brief stops with interesting things-- but don't miss the museum mentioned above- its why we came in the first place- and why we will be beack.

The Crescent Hotel is a wonderful antiquated hotel nestled on top of a mountaintop overlooking a historic district. Below is how I rate each category and why:

Staff: Great - Friendly and helpful to the customers

Room: Fair - Old but inviting. TV did not work as many of the channels on the tube television rarely had a signal. Most was static. Some other rooms had a flat screen and crystal clear reception.

Ghost Tour - Good - The tour seemed to be read from a script. No Ghosts seen but had a good amount of orbes.

Breakfast in restaurant - The guy making the eggs was the most receptive. Breakfast was good. Sausage was cold. Recommend heating the food in the warmers.

It was a pleasant stay overall.

My husband and I needed a quick getaway after the Holidays this year. We decided on Eureka Springs and chose to stay at the 1886 Crescent Hotel. Our room was excellent. We were one of only two rooms in the wing and it was very peaceful. The room was more than I imagined with a huge king size bed, jacuzzi and a sitting area with a couch and chair. The only thing I would recommend is a vending machine with a few snacks. We checked in at 2pm and did not leave until the next morning. We forgot to take some snacks with us and it would have been nice to have something to munch on after dinner. Instead, we ordered a delicious piece of chocolate cake from the Crystal Dining room and took it back to the room with us. We spoiled ourselves with a massage in the spa. Needless to say, we were very relaxed and asleep that evening by 9:30. The hotel was beautiful with the Christmas decor and we walked around outside to look at all the Christmas trees. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
