I've stayed at the 1876 Inn at least 3 times and loved it. My room was clean and the staff was very friendly. I love the reasonable rates, gives me more money to play in Eureka Springs! It's always been quiet and relaxing at the 1876 Inn. The best part is the breakfast buffet, the waffles are amazing. I've been there often enough now that the staff remembers me and that's really nice.
A TRULY HORRIFYING AND NAUSEATING EXPERIENCE

I am a pretty easy-going person, and I don't expect a lot from a motel. However, this place was truly a horror that will stay with me for the rest of my life. It may have been named 1876 to commemorate the date it was last cleaned. We booked a nonsmoking room, but the first room they gave us smelled like an ashtray, and contained an ashtray sitting on top of the TV. We go back and say, um, could we get a nonsmoking room? Then they hand us some keys to a room whose bath tub contained dental floss and a spider in a web, indicating that the area had not seen a cleaning in quite a while. That combined with the dingy, musty smell of the place still didn't faze me, however, the next thing did. When we turned back the sheets, we found we had a little friend running around under the covers. A BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER WAS IN THE BED. How do I know it was a brown recluse? I was traveling with my friend, who has her doctorate in entymology! The best part is that when we complained to the night staff person at the front desk, he shouted "If you don't like it, leave!!" All this for 129$ a night! So, to review, if you want to overpay for a dirty, poisonous spider infested room with the bonus of a verbally abusive staff person, please to enjoy the Motel of Horrors, 1876.
Great Time

We found the staff friendly, the propertyfun with the decks and views. The covered parking was a plus. The rooms were a good value for the money even when we upgraded to the memory foam. We loved ours so much we are buying one!. Breakfast at the restaurant was really good and so easy for our group as we all get up at different times. We will be back, in fact it was some of our friends that had been there before that suggested we stay there.
