Hotel is a nice historical place with a lot of the features maintained. Very simple place to stay. There is a town square across the street with some homeless hanging out but they don’t bother you. Nice shops within walking distance.

A 1915 era hotel that maintains that atmosphere. Very nostalgic downtown hotel with original fixtures and accoutrements that will take you back to the roaring 1920s. We liked it.

Excellent Historic Hotel

Hotel Arcata is a historic landmark, an older hotel, well-maintained. Some people might find the facilities a little "tight". The rooms are a bit smaller than average and the bathroom facilities are dated. However, in this case, this is actually part of the charm of the place but it might not be best for families. As a solo traveler, I found the accommodations to be charming and the central location in the Arcata Plaza to be excellent with many shopping and eating options within walking distance. There are other options for hotels locally but they lack the charm and sophistication of the Hotel Arcata. The staff here is excellent and very knowledgeable about the area so I would highly recommend this property with the caveats previously stated.

Great location, uncomfortable beds

The desk staff was friendly and helpful. We originally had one room booked, but because of plumbing issues they had to put us into two separate rooms, which was fine. The beds were very uncomfortable. They need new mattresses. Carpets could also do with a refresh.

Enjoyable stay

An aging hotel that owners have done their best to update. No AC, but do you really need it in Arcata? It would be nice if the windows had screens. We would stay again but only for one night. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Give it a try

Great historic hotel and great price. Right in the center of Arcata Plaza - so lots of cute shopping and restaurants. The sushi place connected to the hotel was tasty. The room we had suited our needs and the bathroom had great water pressure. Our "view" faced the other rooms and part of the roof which was a bummer but we also didn't hear any of the street noise.

We had a good experience in a historical hotel. It was fun to step back in time for a little bit. The hotel staff was very helpful and courteous. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys something a bit different.

I will book again

Historical building, small but clean room. Best water pressure I have ever experienced for a hotel stay, I will go back for it 100%. Very convenient location. Bed and Pillow have opportunity to improve.

Breakfast was not very good. Shower curtains don't hold in water. We always had to dry the floor after. Fortunately, there are drains in the floor. Square is a little noisy.
