The Crescent Hotel 5 Reasons to Stay – Review of our Stay at the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs

We were recently invited to stay at the Crescent Hotel. (Also known as America’s Most Haunted Hotel.)

We have visited the 1886 Crescent Hotel a few times before but had never stayed the night until now.

The Crescent Hotel

The Crescent is a beautiful hotel with a very unique history. Many say it is haunted by many ghosts. Many paranormal investigators have visited and claimed it to be true.

However we did not experience anything too spooky or strange. But,what we did experience was a hotel filled with a variety family fun activities, delicious food and wonderful staff.

We arrived late at the Crescent around 1130pm in the beginning of December 2021.

The hotel was beautifully decorated for Christmas inside and out. We were very impressed.

5. The Crescent Hotel Staff

The hotel staff were polite and very helpful. Both the morning crew and night crew were friendly and informative.

4. The Rooms at the Crescent Hotel

Entering our room was quite exciting. We were greeted with a loud squeaky door (just like out of a scary movie). The floor creaked and thumped with every step.

Although the building and room were older and creaky it was a comfortable and fun place to stay.

We had a double-bed room so we had plenty of room for us to sleep.

The beds were comfortable and the tv was fairly new. We also had a mini fridge as well.

The bathroom was spacious and clean. The shower had great water pressure and the water stayed hot for us.

The large balcony was a highlight of our room. We could sit on our balcony and enjoy wonderful views.

After getting settled in our boys were wound up and excited to be in Eureka Springs against

My youngest son Cale began making fast tiny steps across the floor and doing his silly voices he does some times before going to bed. We laughed at the thought of the neighboring rooms thinking the ghosts were becoming active in our room.

The rest of our stay we didn’t notice anything too strange happening but then again we weren’t looking for it.

We did notice some interesting blue markings in some of our photos around the hotel after returning home.

The hotel cleaners did a wonderful job making our bed, changing out our towels and keeping our room tidy. We loved our room at the Crescent but our favorite reasons to stay are in the following paragraphs.

The Daily Family Fun Activities, the Restaurants and the Frisco Sporting Club.
