5. Family Fun at the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks

Best Western Inn of the Ozarks

On our most recent stay in Eureka Springs, we stayed at the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks. I recommend this hotel to families with kids because it has many areas of fun to be had.

They have a playground, a mini golf course, pool table, air hockey table, yard games and other related games as well.

The large swimming pool is complete with a waterfall and has poolside movie nights.

Also included on site is a basketball court and tennis court!

We stayed in a Suite, it was clean, comfortable and spacious.

The view from our back patio was beautiful!

Myrtie Mae’s is available for dining and just steps away from the front desk.

We had such a great experience here and the staff was happy to assist us with anything we needed.

Find out more about the hotel in our review article or go ahead and book it here.

4. Spooky Stay at the Crescent Hotel

Though I haven’t stayed at the Crescent Hotel I have visited it many times and explored much of the building. We visited the hotel for breakfast in the Crystal Dining Room and explored the museum and observation deck during our Historic Tram Tour.

(No, I’m not afraid of staying the night here … I think… haha)

I think staying the night at the Crescent Hotel would be a very interesting experience.

I don’t think I’d take my boys to stay there overnight at their current age but maybe someday soon my wife and I will have an adult weekend in Eureka Springs and we can stay here.

The hotel itself is beautiful and many people even get married here.

It’s kind of funny because it’s beautiful and has wonderful restaurants, a swimming pool and many of the things people love about hotels. The only difference is many people consider the hotel haunted.

What do you think? Would you stay here? If so, go ahead and book it here before it’s all booked up.
