Built in 1886, the Crescent Hotel is a Eureka landmark. And while this gothic structure has served as many things since construction, one phenomenon has remained constant throughout its 120-year history. The Grand Lady of Ozarks has always been haunted. In fact, the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa is billed as one of America's top ten haunted hotels. Up for a scary night? Stay in room 218. It's one of the most haunted in the hotel! Family Travel Tip: Notwithstanding the ongoing restoration the rooms are just average. Ghost Hunters often roam the halls until the wee hours.
