I really only use a motel for a place to sleep, relax, shower and grab sone breakfast. We are busy when we are on vacation and see and do a lot. The owner was very attentive to our needs and very friendly, He apologized for not turning up the hot tub but made sure it was addressed the second day. Breakfast was simple but tasty and filling. Room was not very clean but not really updated. I liked that we were just far enough away from town and could relax. If you need all of the "new" stuff, this probably not the place for you but if you can enjoy a great place at a great price, then it is perfect!

The…read moreproperty has a park like atmosphere, the accommodations have been clean and comfortable, and the breakfast and evening desert had always impressed. Unfortunately our visit this week disappointed. I will say that because of a problem in the original room we booked they did upgrade us to one of the larger apartments. When we arrived there wasn't anyone around even though their office sign said open. We even came back later and still no one there. They did answer our call as they were away from the property. The accommodations were clean and comfortable but the big disappointment was the food. We have stayed at many B&Bs and one of the highlights were the extraordinary breakfast that were served and many provided an evening desert. We were totally unimpressed with the thin slice of store bought pumpkin roll the evening we arrived and the second night they failed to bring a desert at all. The first morning breakfast wasn't horrible, but not impressive, biscuits and gravy and 2 pear slices. It is the second breakfast that stunned us. It was a small sausage patty, a flour tortilla folded over with Nutella in it and sliced bananas on top. We always have enjoyed our B&B stays and one of the reasons for our choosing to book a B&B is the enjoyment of a great breakfast. I've read reviews of others touting the breakfast so don't know what happened. Don't think we will have a return visit.

The rooms are utterly adorable, cozy, cabin-style rooms, many with jacuzzis and fireplaces. This time, our room had both front porch and back, covered deck, with a great woodland view. If it hadn't been pouring rain and freezing cold the whole time, it would have been much more enjoyable. I would give a 5-star rating for the room, except....there were a few glitches and I would be remiss not to mention them. First, you are on your own for breakfast. That didn't bother us, because we brought Thanksgiving leftovers along. (Rooms have micro and fridge.) However, they "winterize" their outdoor ice maker, so we had to "borrow" a few cubes from the front desk. No one wants to buy a bag of ice for two people on a one-night stay. Second, there were only 4 paper cups in this room with no spoons or stir-sticks, which made morning coffee a little tedious. Thankfully, I brought a knife for cutting an apple, so it doubled as a stirrer and eating fork. We found the old-style fireplace, let more smoke into the room than we were comfortable with, as well, so one log, and we were done. Wi-fi was basically non-existent, so we resorted to our hot-spots. We had less of these problems in the rooms with a kitchenette, of course. The bed was great, room was quiet, quaint and full of atmosphere. I still love this place, but will come a little more prepared next visit.

Today Monday Oct 22nd I check my discover card and see on the 18th they charged $101.24 for the room. I called to ask about the cancellation and was told they have a min 1 week cancellation policy. Which I understand but was never told when I made the reservation or when I canceled the reservation. She did offer me to send me a one free night for anytime and no end date. Hopefully that comes in the mail as expected otherwise. I will be writing another review. Buyer beware of all terms and conditions when making reservations with this lodge.

We were in Eureka Springs for a family wedding, which meant we needed lots of space. My Aunt and Uncle have been coming here for nearly 30 years and typically stay in the "Texaco Garage" space that sits right next door. Since this spot holds up to 11 - and could easily accommodate more, it was perfect. The decor is very eclectic, and also very comfortable. Because it's quite old - probably built in the 20's - there are creaks and squeaks, and an overall dusty smell due to all of the nick naks, rugs, and vintage furniture. It very much has the feel of a lake or beach house - without the close proximity to water. Overall, it is a solid 4 stars for sheer space and proximity to all the amazing things Eureka Springs has to offer. In combination with the space next door, it would be perfect for a family reunion or big group weekend escape. As the 2 rental spaces share a common back yard and parking space, it would be great for BBQ's or family cookouts. It may not be for everyone, but if you have a large group and are looking for good space at a reasonable price, this may be to spot for you!

The house could be so great, but it was so dirty and neglected. There was water damage that was large and very visible. Large holes in closets. Lots of live spiders upstairs. Dead bugs under the sink in the bathrooms. This is just a sample of the issues. I was honestly embarrassed that I chose this place. Two of the rooms upstairs weren't even used because they were afraid of the bugs and the one light fixture was so dirty. I had to stay upstairs in one of the rooms with my husband and three year old. It wasn't a pleasant experience and my son ended up with a bite on his cheek one morning. I hope they fix this great house up. In the meantime I would find some place else to stay unless you like dirt and bugs. :)

Our stay at WorldMark at Branson was extremely disappointing due to a serious cleanliness issue…read more Late one evening, we discovered bed bugs on the shower curtain in our unit. This was alarming and completely unacceptable. We immediately contacted the help desk around 11:30 p.m. to report the issue. Unfortunately, we were told there was nothing they could do at that time and that a manager would be emailed. No alternative accommodations, inspection, or immediate assistance was offered. Because of this, we felt we had no choice but to cut our trip short. We were staying with family and friends and had activities planned for another full day, all of which had to be canceled. This was especially frustrating and disappointing right before Christmas. A situation like this should be handled with urgency and care. The lack of response and support only made an already stressful situation worse. We expected much better from a resort of this reputation.

There were hairs all in the shower and one of the beds. BE WARNED. It's nasty and they don't care. They walls are so thin we could hear the people above us stomping around all day and night. There's also no elevator. We were also charge for a deposit for another stay and were not told our spouse had to be there after we clearly told them it was a girls trip.
