    I have been staying at the Wanderoo for years, and I will keep going back every time I visit Eureka Springs. The location is perfect- it's a quick 12 minute walk to the center of town, and it's close to tons of local attractions like the Crescent Hotel or the Onyx caves, plus more. Even though it's off a main road we heard very little traffic at night thanks to the amazing air conditioner unit in our room. We stayed in one of the cabins with our two dogs and we loved how cozy it was. If I had to change anything about our cabin it would be black out curtains around the cabin, and one on the door since it's a direct line of sight into the bathroom. The lights in the parking lot did shine into our room a bit. The staff here are absolutely wonderful people and take care of any needs you have quickly. We were able to swim in the pool since it was still open , and the area was so clean and peaceful with the trees all around us. Lastly, they have their own little restaurant on site (the Gravel Bar) with a fire pit outside and chairs, which sends this place over the top of the rest! The food at their restaurant is the best I had while we were there. You'll love staying here! Can't wait until next fall so I can go back!

    Love this old sign from the original motel

    Checked in late and all went very smoothly picking up my keys. Love this motel and highly recommend it. Especially love the Gravel Bar being part of the property, great little bar with good food!!

    Location was perfect. Lovely restaurant/bar/live music on site. Room was older but clean. Only issue was there was such a strong smell of a air freshener or some sort of cleaning solution in the room. Almost unbearable at first but got a little better with opened doors and windows. Over priced in my opinion.

    Door wood splintered

    First: The employees and bar definitely raised the stars. Without them, this would have been a low 2 or 1 star rating. The new paint and light fixtures detract from the truthfulness of what the room actually is. Rooms are in much needed repairs, like the bathroom ceiling, two different bed heights, and window/door locks. Doors are really thin; I.e. woken up early to the effects of the neighbors late night. Parking is also hard to find if the bar is busy since it's the same lot. Location is near north town entrance but further from downtown than other hotels. I could see $80/night but $150/night was definitely overpriced. If repairs are made and the awesome people stay, this could easily be top rated.

    I had a great stay at the Wanderoo this weekend! The hotel is very dog friendly. The gravel bar and the visitor guide were excellent amenities. I loved hearing the live music every evening. My room was very clean and all the fixtures worked. I liked the back balcony outside my room. I would love to stay here again. It fit my budget and my needs as a dog owner perfectly.

    Waited half an hour just to get our order taken. Rude staff when we requested to place food & drink order together.

    Each family had their own room, but we were able to congregate at the Gravel Bar when we wanted to be social.

    Beware of Tyler, the tyrant psychotic sociopath owner of The Palace Bath House!…read more I visited the Palace Hotel and Bath House expecting peace and relaxation. Instead, I walked out shaking, humiliated, and in tears -- an experience I will never forget for all the wrong reasons. The mineral bath area consists of small cubicles with no ceilings, something I was never told. I didn't hear or see anyone else, so I genuinely believed I was alone. While in the bath I was trying to meditate but then someone started playing very distracting music that interrupted my meditation and I asked politely for the music to be turned off when someone changed it to something distracting. I made normal, reasonable requests -- a towel, a time extension -- nothing out of the ordinary for a spa. When I went upstairs afterward, everything changed instantly. The owner, Tyler (appeared to be in her 40s -50s had shoulder length completely gray hair) approached me out of nowhere and told me she was "astonished by my behavior" and that I was "the rudest person" she had ever had as a customer. I was stunned. I had no idea what she was talking about. She accused me of "yelling" and "ruining the experience" for others -- even though I had spoken calmly and had no idea the entire facility shared open acoustics. I immediately apologized, over and over, because I felt horrible. I was crying, shaking, and trying to explain that I truly believed I was alone. Instead of listening, she doubled down. She told me I was "blacklisted" and needed to leave. Meanwhile, other patrons -- the very people she claimed I had disturbed -- came to comfort me. They told me I had done nothing wrong. They hugged me. They reassured me. They told me her reaction was completely out of proportion. I ended up having a panic attack from the shock and humiliation. My entire day was ruined. Days later, I am still shaken. When I tried to call to request a refund, I discovered my number had been blocked. No conversation. No explanation. No willingness to resolve anything. I have never in my life been treated the way I was treated at this business. I left feeling berated, belittled, and publicly humiliated for something I didn't even know I had done wrong. The lack of sound privacy, the aggressive confrontation, the refusal to communicate afterward -- all of it paints a very clear picture. Bottom-line, BEWARE of The Palace Hotel and Bath House and the tyrant psychotic sociopath who runs this establishment, TYLER! My experience was emotionally devastating, and no guest or human in general deserves to be treated this way. Consider yourself warned.

    Of course, when I chose to visit Eureka Springs, I had to experience the last remaining original…read morebath houses in Eureka Springs. I got the works; the steam cabinet, a mineral bath, and a massage. I was so relaxed by the end of it I could barely walk or think straight. I even fell asleep during the massage! Only downside for a more modern customer is that the spa layout is completely original. There are no sound barrier walls or anything. The walls and doors aren't floor to ceiling, so one can hear toilets flushing, tubs draining, etc. But it's great for feeling transported back to the old holistic, homeopathic ways.
