The Grand Central was everything we wanted. We were able to take a virtual tour of our room before we ever got there. The hotel is on the National Register and is a true slice of Americana - with the additions of a refrigerator, microwave, air conditioning (with a thermostat and controls in the room), etc. We were on the second floor so the balcony was very convenient, and we spent a lot of time just sitting sipping drinks, watching people, and taking some great pictures.

The location is ideal, and parking is right by the hotel. If you have never been to Eureka, there are several walkways to the upper streets going from Main Street. Of course the entire downtown of Eureka is very close-in so you don't need your car unless you are going out of the downtown and don't want to take the trolley which goes into the outer edges of the town.

The restaurant at the Grand Central is fantastic. The crab cake appetizer, filet, and kobe striploin are out of this world.

After seeing a few reviews which contained criticisms of the carpet, bed linens, etc. we were very conscious of possible problems in these areas - absolutely NONE were noted by either of us. I guess these people must live in the White House or Buckingham Palace.

We really enjoyed the live music in the lobby in the evenings! Very talented artists and plenty of seating to sit and listen if you are not dining at Grand Taverne. We did have dinner there Saturday night and it was VERY good ~ they accommodated the gluten free needs of my husband and food was delicious! The hotel is great and (almost) everyone is so very helpful and nice. Really appreciate Dusty, the manager ~ he definitely took care of any issue that you might have very efficiently. We had purchased a GROUPON for the stay and it included discounts on massage, salon, and the restaurant ~ plus, a bottle of wine upon checkin, great value for the price~~!! The massage was great!! Heather was the therapist and very talented! Stopped in the salon and Chris was so pleasant and helpful! Had a manicure and she squeezed me in for a shampoo & style. The hotel is older, but extremely comfortable. The bed has a nice memory foam topper and it is very quiet and pleasant. Of course the hotel is historical and not new, but really has everything that you might need for a getaway. Love the location and the parking is a great plus. We did not move our vehicle the entire weekend. I really appreciate all the friendly, helpful people that make such an effort to make you feel welcome!! I love Eureka Springs & am happy to recommend this hotel!

The staff was friendly, but when checking was a older gentlment did not know what was going on.
Location was wonderful. The carpet needs replaceing i am sure was clean, but we all know after so
many years can only clean so many times. You just need to replace because still looks dirty after cleaning. I tired to seat out side on balcony but had trouble finding a chair the seat was not ripped out.

We had a nice time hotel staff was friendly.
Hotels require up keep the carpet was so old in bedrooms looked like you could catch something if walked on bare foot, also area rug in living area was very dirty. Towels an bed linens were wore needed replaceing.
The atmosphere was good location wonderful.
Would like to come back if the up keep is done.
