Ok for the money, good for a "simple" stay…read more
Definitely not super-modern (although it has been updated, with newer windows and bathroom), nor is it a "fancy" place. And even though the word "suite " is in the name, my room was not a "suite", but it was plenty big enough. Also, it is a MOtel, (with the doors in the front part of the building right along the parking lot and facing the street), not a HOtel with an indoor corridor. I was not expecting this, but it was fine.
It has its good points. There was a refrigerator and a microwave, big TV, a good bed with lots of pillows, a decent-sized bathroom, fast Internet and lots of lights that actually worked. The room smelled good and was clean, had cool furnishings. I was on the upper floor in the back, and below me was a nice large wooden deck where you could hang out, if you so desired, and stare at the woods and enjoy the bird song.
As with any older place, there were several quirks/imperfections, like small holes in the wall where a rack was moved, some of the tiles in my bathroom floor creaked when I walked on certain spots, my curtain to the outside world was a little gappy (duct tape is a wonderful thing) and one panel had been installed upside down, you use an actual key to get in your room, and if you want ice, the manager has to get it for you. None of these quirks/imperfections were overwhelming, just numerous.
It is also a smaller place, so a person is not in the office 24-7, their board said 9 AM to 8 PM, although someone is always available by phone. I got good customer service while I was there.
I suggest you ask for a room on the back of the building, as they face some nice woods, and the traffic noise is very minimal - I could feel rather than hear when a big truck went by, which was only a few times.
One of the bigger points for me to stay here was that this place is outside the main hubbub of Eureka Springs, as I was just passing through town and was not interested in the touristy part of town. Brydan's Suites was an OK place overall, and the price was right, so there you go!
