This Howard Johnson Express Inn in Eureka Springs, Ark., stands across the street from the entrance to the Great Passion Play and a mile from the Country Music Hoedown. Hunting enthusiasts are close to the Beaver Dam duck hunts and for people looking for the unusual, Quigley's Castle lures guests with its more than 400 varieties of flowers and an abundant butterfly, fossil, crystal, arrowhead and glassware collection. Parents and kids and outdoor lovers can visit the Blue Heritage Center, nearly 50 acres of lush forest on the Native Americans' Trail of Tears where 38 million gallons of water are poured daily into the trout-stocked, blue lagoon.

The 30-room Howard Johnson features an outdoor pool and spa, complimentary continental breakfasts, guestrooms with scenic views, and meeting and banquet facilities perfect for family get-togethers and business conferences.
