  • Clean, friendly.
  • Continental breakfast is pretty poor; hotel was at the opposite end of town.

“The hotel was cheap, and so going in, I didn't have high expectations. All I cared about was clean rooms, clean sheets, and clean bathrooms with a hot shower. It had all of those. The continental breakfast was pretty bad but I don't really eat breakfast, so I didn't care. The major thing that I didn't like was that it was located at the opposite end of town from the places I was going. I also realized there are lots of other places to stay in Eureka Springs that aren't you're typical chain hotel that are just as cheap as the 42 we paid, so I would check some of those out before staying at the HoJo again.”

  • Staff was very friendly and check in was very easy.
  • The sharp incline to get in and out of the motel, which could not be helped due to the hilly country.

“Found our rooms to be very clean. Staff was very friendly and accommodating when we asked directions.”

  • Cleanliness was immaculate. Service/staff was excellent
  • Did not stock bathrooms with shampoo.

“I had a very pleasant stay. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The owner went out of his way to help when I locked the keys in my rental car. The price is very competitive for this area. The continental breakfast is very basic, but that's not a big thing for me.”

  • It was so immaculate. And the beds were extremely comfortable!
  • The desk clerk had a hard accent to understand, but he was very friendly.

“We had been to several hotels during out 8 days of vacation and this was our last stop on the way home. Of all the hotels, including a resort, this was by far the most comfortable. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the rooms were extremely clean. Place looked brand new. Pool was really nice too, especially the whirlpool. It was quiet and peaceful. Perfect ending to our vacation.”

  • The innkeeper was very friendly and helpful but not obtrusive. We felt very special.
  • While the beds were very comfortable, my wife and I are used to a memory foam mattress.

“This motel provided more comfort and better service than we expected. The room was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. We heard no road noises. The pool was well maintained and enjoyable. The innkeeper and his wife were delightful and met our every need. When we had a question about the area they were glad to help and even provided coupons. I will not hesitate to recommend this place to my friends and family and in fact we hope to return in October to enjoy the fall splendor of the Ozarks.”

  • People are great and very helpful, very clean.
  • There was nothing not to like.

“I have stayed at this hotel before and would do so time and time again. The people are very nice and helpful. Anytime I asked a question they found out the answer, even if it were just simple directions as to which direction I needed to go. My stay has always been wonderful.”

  • It was very clean.
  • There was a strange smell to the hotel room when we first opened the door.

“There was a funny smell when we first entered the room which made me feel worried about the cleanliness of the room, but upon examination, it appeared to be very clean. The man at the desk in the evening and the young woman in the morning, were both very nice. It was very close to the attraction that we went there to see.”

  • Clean, safe, friendly.
  • The beds made noise when you moved. Mattress covers?

“A great economical place to stay. Far enough from downtown to be quiet, but only five minutes away from the historic downtown. Right by the Passion Play.”

  • The rooms were clean. Check in/out was quick and easy.
  • The continental breakfast was not good at all.

“The rooms were nice. It was nothing exciting, but it was a place to stay at the end of the day. It was out of the way if you came for the shopping, but it was closer to the shows if that was what you came for. The breakfast was very lousy even for a continental breakfast.”

“Smokers congregated at tables on upper level to smoke and non-smokers could not use these areas. You also had to walk through the smoke to get to the stairs. Might consider adding items to their continental breakfast bar. We would stay here again.”

  • It was very clean. Had a nice pool.
  • Other hotels much cheaper. Staff had very broken English. Bad breakfast.

“ I would not stay again. There were much cheaper hotels closer to events with hot breakfasts and nicer quarters. Staff friendly but did not speak much English. They were helpful though. The breakfast consists of coffee, molded bread for toast, old cereal, old bagels and English muffins. It was serve yourself out of a dorm-sized fridge. It barely fit as a "continental" breakfast. Everything was very clean. Pool was clean, but the hot tub was NOT even warm. We stayed 3 nights because we could not get our money back. I definitely would have stayed other places in Eureka Springs. This was not at all worth the price we paid.”

  • Friendly staff.
  • We arrived at 1:30pm, check-in began at 1pm, room wasn't ready until after 2:30pm.

“Nice place and seemed to be a fairly new hotel. Very quiet in the rooms and a very friendly staff but, they needed more help to clean and prepare the rooms.”
