I stayed here for one night this October. The room was clean and tidy, but the fixtures were old, the curtains falling down and the refrigerator did not cool very well. They were very nice and accommodated our early check-in, but the room was also FREEZING cold when we arrived, the heater was off after a cold night and the... More

I don't know about older reviews but I stayed there recently and was extremely happy. Carpets were new and atmosphere was very inviting. Loved the camp fire and included breakfast and was very satisfied with our overall experience. Would recommend. More

Very funky retro style neon sign .and 60's style motel ..... but that's where the fun stops.The carpets were filthy and overall musty old closed open type smell in the room.I would never stay there again . More

At first I wasn't going to review because I'm told this is the only hotel with vacancies when events come. :) I was in Eureeka Springs for my first time for the Fat Tire festival, Eureeka Springs is awesome!

My husband and I stopped in to rent a room because it was the only hotel in town with vacancy. I should have known better by looking at how dirty the manager was and the fact that the sign on the wall said "no refunds". We were tired and thought it couldn't be that bad. After Rosco (the foreign bellboy... More

They told me the room I was getting was one of the newly remodeled rooms, maybe in 1970! I did not have any shower shoes so I skipped my morning shower and I checked out. The bedding was clean. The pancakes were good and the lady at the front desk was hospitable. More

My husband and I are senior citizens. We have stayed at the Joy since our honeymoon many years ago. We decided to return to Eureka for our recent honeymoon and found the motel had new owners. The quality was certainly NOT what we had remembered. The room was damp and moldy. The floors had not been properly cleaned and there... More
