Not worth the price!

Stayed 2 nights to drop my child at college. Feel the nightly rate was price gouged! Too expensive for an old hotel. Room was clean but door lock was broken and they did not have another room. Maintenance did come and fix it the next day. Surprisingly the breakfast included was quite good and had many selections. They never emailed me my receipt as asked upon checking out.

A fine stay, but no mention of the renovation, nor that the pool and spa would be closed during our stay – a detail we likely would have used to make other lodging plans.

It was easy, clean, convenient. Nothing fancy. Staying for a couple day trips into redwoods. About 30ish min drive away. Free breakfast was nice. Cute little coffee place across the street

Redwoods big trees trip

The lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. We were very satisfied with our room, beds were comfortable and the TV was big with Netflix and YouTube which is a definite plus for us. The premises were very quiet and convenient to coffee shops and grocery stores. We visited the bird sanctuary which was very close by our hotel.We will definitely be staying here again next time we’re in Arcata.

Great location if you are going to Cal Poly Humboldt in Arcata, CA. There is a grocery store near by and food options. The staff was friendly and the complementary breakfast was good.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were comfortable and clean. Hot breakfast options were ok, lots of options. Pool was really nice and comfortable (as a parent watching younger kids - the indoor outdoor pool room wasn't hot and stuffy as they usually are). The kids enjoyed it. Close to grocery store and some restaurants. Location is pretty quick to Sue Meg State Park and redwood hikes! Cookies in the evening at the front desk.
