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.

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.

Fine

The room was clean and comfortable. The beds and towels smelled fresh. The beds and pillows were comfortable. I slept well with my ear plugs. Walls very thin, could hear everything outside, above and some next door. Kids running around in room above us. Breakfast was overall good but surfaces hadn’t been wiped down in a while. There were no clean tables, they all had crumbs or sticky stains. The waffles were delicious but the one wafflemaker was impossible to flip and no one was around to help, half of the batter dripped out while it beeped loudly.

The first receptionist when checking in was very rude. She was not kind. But the place and rooms are spacious and everything is very clean and no weird smells from cleaning products. In the morning a different receptionist was kind and friendly. The room was quiet

It seemed nice, but the day we came back from hiking the redwoods, looking forward to soaking in the hot tub, we discovered the pool area was under construction. Our room was generally clean, but we did find some dirt left behind the bathroom door. We did like the little park area so we could hang out outside and chat for a bit. The staff were very nice, and the Continental breakfast was good and within our expectations. There were a few unhoused people wandering the area, but it's nothing new to us, and I didn't feel unsafe.
