I spent one night at the Holiday Inn Express in Eureka Springs July 8-9. Check-in was easy and the staff were friendly. I was given a room on the top floor as I requested. Room 206 is an exterior entrance room. It shares one wall with an adjoining room and another wall with an exterior walkway. The room was mostly quiet despite facing the parking lot and having an exterior entrance.
The bathroom amenities, shower curtain, shower head, and bath towels were new. However, the sheets were stained and the comforter had a hole in it. Nothing major but not top quality either. The water pressure in the shower was slightly weak but there was plenty of hot water.
Breakfast is served from 6:30-9:30 in the morning. The breakfast nook is really small, however, the staff opened up an adjoining meeting room for guest to take their breakfast in. It is not very quaint to eat in a meeting room, so if you want quaintness and no lines, go early. Staff had a difficult time keeping items stocked on a Sunday morning at 8:30. The cinammon rolls and blueberry muffins were wonderful.
The pool and hot tub are fairly small but available. Also, the Eureka Springs trolly stops in front of the hotel. If you choose to drive downtown, most parking is either $4 or $5 for 4 hours or you may find meter parking for up to 4 hours.
Overall, there is nothing wrong with the hotel yet nothing seemed above average either.
