Charming Stay with a Few Quirks Our stay at Wanderoo Lodge in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, was pleasant overall, with a few things to note. Upon booking, management informed us of a $100 amenities hold placed on our credit card, refunded after our stay. While we had no issues, this could surprise guests unfamiliar with the process, especially those using bank cards. The lodge is in a quiet, convenient location just off the main road. Parking was a bit tricky due to hills and uneven surfaces, but manageable. The room was clean, updated, and comfortable with a soft pillow-top bed, functioning air conditioning, and a walk-in shower. However, water pressure was low—likely common in the area—and the only mirror was in the restroom, which might be inconvenient for some guests. Limited electrical outlets mean you may want to bring an extension cord. A shared back porch offered a lovely wooded view, and while we didn’t use the swimming pool due to the season, it appeared clean and well-kept. The lodge operates like a motel, with parking directly outside your room. Door locks are key-fob operated, auto-locking after a few moments—be cautious not to lock the key inside as there’s a fee for unlocking. Numerous instructional signs throughout the room felt a bit excessive. The front desk staff were kind and helpful. Overall, Wanderoo Lodge is a comfortable retreat with a few quirks to consider, ideal for a peaceful stay in Eureka Springs.

Worst Beds
This motel has a cool vibe and fits perfectly with the Eureka Springs quirky personality, but leaves a lot to be desired. The room smelled slightly - there's a lot of folks smoking on the property (one of the items on the check-in is number of ashtrays desired). The water pressure was a trickle. The walls allow all your neighbors conversations and "business" find its way into your room. If you have "busy" neighbors this can create some interesting family conversations. But the worst and most inexcusable was the horror that is their mattresses. The motel was obviously renovated in the recent past, but the mattresses may be original to the motel. Get some toppers at the minimum. I felt every spring and never been that sore the morning after just due to trying to sleep.

So So
The staff is over the top friendly...the room was clean. Just one thing that bothered me...There are huge gaps under the front door and back door....the biggest of bugs, snakes, spiders could get inside. I could see so much daylight through these cracks...I can't imagine when it is pouring down rain...total water flow under the door into the room. And, how are you suppose to stay warm in the winter? And, it is overpriced on the rooms. Food is good, music was nice.

Actually picked this place on a whim trying to find a decent less expensive hotel, and thought the pictures look good. When I got here, the smoking bluegrass band was playing cold Sprungbully so I checked in, ordered some food, and watched the band for three hours. The food was great. The music was amazing in the room with everything I expected, clean, cozy bed, renovated. This is the best whim decision I’ve made in a long time :-)

Super awesome front desk staff, and amazing staff working at the bar that night. They were busy with the crowd for the live band that was playing but were very quick and efficient and super nice and polite. Pool was unfortunately closed for renovations which kind of sucked but enjoyed the atmosphere of the whole place.
