We made our annual fall, leaf-viewing, October visit to Eureka last week. Unfortunately, the locals say we missed the best part of the leaf color by about a week (they had strong winds when the recent cold front came through, which took off most of the good leaves)...but the good news is that our stay here was excellent, as always.

The staff is friendly and helpful, the breakfast is better that what many restaurants here serve, and the breakfast staff is very nice, too. The recent upgrades at this property, which I mentioned in my last review, continue. With new flat-screen TVs, new mattresses and bedding, and upgraded bathrooms...all very nice and much-appreciated, especially in light of the apparent deterioration of the tourist business here in Eureka.

Each time we come, the town looks a little more "slumped over" (more vacant businesses and run-down buildings). The soft economy is really taking its toll on this area...by the way Branson, Mo is also severely affected by this same trend. So, it is surprising to see this Comfort Inn making this investment in upgrades, in the face of declining tourism. Looks like they have decided to compete more aggressively for whatever business is still out there.

One of our stops to Eureka Springs, AR was to see the old downtown and see the glass church. We deceided to book on line after seeing the beautiful view and pretty hotel. It was exactly what was showed online. The hotel was beautiful. The rooms where clean and quiet. We had a wonderful view of the colors of trees for this time of year. Check in was quick and very pleasant. The breakfast was wonderful. Alot to choose from. Would stay again. Lady at breakfast was very helpful. Outside was decorated very nice.

Perfect place to stay to visit all the local sites. Trolley pickup in front of the hotel, so no hassle with parking, etc. Rooms were spacious and very clean. Great breakfast and large breakfast room invluded.

Stayed here for 2 nights. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. At first there was a problem with our room reservation, but the manager did correct the problem. The biggest problem was that there was a motor cycle rally in town and our parking lot was full of motorcycles and some tents and folding tables. THE BEST PART OF STAYING HERE WAS THE BREAKFAST. THE 2 LADIES WHO OVERSAW THE BREAKFAST WERE GREAT. WE HAD 2 DIFFERENT FRESHLY MADE QUICHES ALONG WITH HOMEMADE BANANA BREAD, COFFEE CAKE AND MUFFINS. THERE WAS SCRAMBLED EGGS AND ALL THE OTHER NORMAL BREAKFAST FOODS. I TOLD HE MANAGER HOW LUCKY THEY WERE TO HAVE BOTH OF THEM. If we go back to Eureka Springs I would stay here again.
