I didn't like much about it. I disliked the parking situation. You have to park down the hill and shuttle to and fro (tipping & tipping) Elevator is inadequate, rooms need updating badly. I guess it's in line with the laid-back style of Eureka Springs, so if you keep that in mind, you'll do okay. But it just doesn't seem up to par with the money.

I go to Eureka all the time. I stayed here once last year during the off season. I could tolerate the old musty creakiness---its an old hotel---But, I would not go back because you can't get a hot shower in the morning. The shuttle service was awesome and we come to the restaurant and bar just about every time we come but the staff was not ...

Charming...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/15/08
I loved this hotel. yes it is older, but it has charm... and that is why we chose this hotel. Some people complain about the price, which is a little steep for what you are getting. I love the style of old hotels, so the money was not as big of an issue as it seems to be for some reviewers on yahoo. It is not a luxery hotel, but we felt it had plenty of romance.
We took our Son for a Halloween haunting weekend. We arrived in the evening to a dirty lobby. The stairs, halls and room were so much worse. Mismatched, no closet and bug infested. We found the bugs waiting for us after returning from a wonderful dinner at the Cresent Hotel. At least. 60 bugs. They moved us to an "upgrade at 11pm". ...
Book our trip months in advance...for four night...there is no parking on the street....so the hotel has valet...park for you ect...well elvator was down, and we were late checking in...5:30 pm wedding going on..we got bump from couple of rooms, had to move ourselves up and down the stairs...Front Desk Personal Horrible...tired of hearing ...
I have been to Eureka and stayed at many a place. I thought it would be nice to be right down town. This hotel is in a fabulous location right in the heart of downtown Eureka. The Basin Park has off-road parking at no additional charge and the shuttle drivers were extremely helpful. That is really the most positive thing I can come up with ...

Don't Waste Your Money!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/21/07
I travel to Eureka several times throughout the year and typically spend $40-$50 per night at one of the hotels just before you get into Eureka. The ones I stayed in where clean,great staff and I always had hot water!! I decided to splurge and stay at the Basin Park Hotel in downtown. By splurging I mean spending $135 per night with tax. When ...
Wonderful location for shopping and nightlife. Also the room (5th floor) was beautiful and clean with a gorgeous view of downtown Eureka. The staff was courteous and friendly. They have a shuttle service to take you to and from your car, and the drivers were very nice and helpful. The resteraunt is one of the best parts of the whole thing for me. ...
Great location-Downtown Eureka Springs Small,SLOW!! elevator Walking the narrow stairs was faster. Old Rooms, NO BEDSPREAD ON THE BEDS , I have never stayed in such a place like this in all my life. WILL NOT RETURN
While the location makes it a good home base, the overall experience is lacking. The room was uncomfortable and the historic value was unable to redeem it. Paper thin walls and ceilings allowed us to listen to billiards playing/players until rather late in the night. I enjoyed sitting in the hallway on a window ledge overlooking Basin Park ...
