While you may not care for the rooms, they aren't plush and as maintained as modern hotels, you have to love the delicious pancakes in the lobby every morning, the smores by the bonfire in the evening, the clean pool, and the staff. I wasn't impressed when I first arrived, the hotel was nothing above average, but the staff and... more

Let me start off by saying that this place has some good potential, and judging by existing reviews, you may have a great time here. We stayed in the Grateful Dead room, which made us feel more like we were in a hotel dorm than a hotel. This is not a bad thing, and was fun even. We had their... more

We stayed at the Joy Motel while in Eureka Springs for our daughter's wedding. The atmosphere was very laid back and friendly. The Blues Festival was going on while we were there and the owners made several trips taking people downtown and picking them up so they wouldn't have to try to find parking.

This motel is in serious decline. The owners permitted several members of their family to stay, and their children were exceedingly loud and obnoxious.

However, we liked the website, but very dishonest. Room was very dirty and smelled moldy. In the morning, office loked up with no one around; meaing no coffee or... more

When we found the website and booked was looking for something other than a chain motel and chose the Joy. Easy enough to find along US 62. A storm had just been through and there was... more

We had a girls weekend in Eureka and stayed at the Joy Motel. We had a fabulous time. The worst part was trying to get a reservation. We emailed and called and never received any confirmation until the day before we left to go to Arkansas. That aside, the hotel was exactly what it advertised itself to be. Clean, comfy,... more

We just got back from a long weekend in Eureka Springs. We decided to stay at the Joy Motel because we thought it would save us a little money and they accept pets. The staff was really friendly and the rooms were adequate. However, there was no microwave or fridge in the room even though the website advertised rooms with... more
