We enjoyed our visit ( first!) to Eureka Springs AR and the Crescent Hotel. The room was larger than expected, very clean , (except for the grout in the shower around the tiles could use a good scrubbing), the staff was nice , and we enjoyed the ghost tour ! Outdoors they seemed to be working on a lot of areas so it was a bit in disarray... maybe getting ready for spring? There seemed to be a lot of stuff lying around in areas where the guests could go , but I am thinking usually this isn't the case hopefully, just a lot of work going on.... wanted to try the pool but we ran out of time. Maybe next trip! It is an old Victorian hotel so it has it's own uniqueness and isn't full of spiffy modern - ness of some hotels so you shouldn't expect it. But it has an ambiance of it's own and we liked it. Didn't encounter any ghosts but enjoyed hearing the stories, and meeting the current hotel cat, Jasper, who is 16. We visited Morris's gravestone outside the hotel; he is the ghost cat that is sometimes seen in the hotel. The crystal dining room was really nice for Breakfast; was not open for dinner the Thursday night we were there , so we found a place in town to eat. You can walk down to the town easily and the hotel shuttle picks you up on demand when you call, up til 10 pm; it was nice not to have to walk back up the steep hills after dark. Most of the shops were closed the thursday late afternoon/ evening we walked around; I imagine they would be open later weekends?
