The General Manager, Troy, is one of the hardest working Hospitality Managers I have ever came across. During our stay, I saw him there morning, noon, and night. The owners are lucky to have a General Manager setting such a great example to all of their staff. We enjoyed the breakfast that was included with the stay, and enjoyed the complimentary drinks in the Inn’s bar. Nice conversations with other guests at the bar! Very close to the Carson Mansion and other amenities that come with the Old Town area. Some really great restaurants in walking distance of the Inn. Will definitely be back!

I’m on a cross country solo driving trip and I think this will be one of the best hotels I stay in. It was so special! Make sure to go to the tiny little bar and have a cocktail. Plus, every single one of the staff are nicer than the next. Bravo!!

This adorable hotel is nestled in the heart of Eureka. The staff is so welcoming and friendly. The place is beautiful and cozy. From the entrance of the main hotel, to the little bar, all the way to the rooms and how cozy yet spacious they were. Everything about the hotel was perfect. Also, the water pressure on the shower head: perfection!
