Top Humboldt State University Natural History Museum Hotel Reviews

Plaza Perch~Downtown~Walkable

10/10 Excellent

"Location was super convenient. Walking distance to restaurants, cafes, the movie theater, and a quick drive to the Redwoods. Downtown Arcata is charming and quirky and this home fits right in. This is a warm, cozy, comfy space. Very clean, with everything we could need on hand. Beds were so warm and comfortable. My husband and I traveled with two of our teens and two of their friends. We gave the teens the front bedroom (which is very spacious) and we didn’t hear a peep from them, which was so nice! Communication with the host was great. We love the area and will definitely stay here again. Thank you, Amy, for a super relaxing and comfortable weekend!"

"Perfect property for visiting my daughter at HSU! Bed was comfortable, kitchen was well appointed and the shower was great. Very walkable, with Wildberries market right across the street and the plaza just a 2 minute walk away. Very lovely!"

3-bedroom Craftsman home with hot tub/sauna in the Heart of Arcata

10/10 Excellent

"Cozy Craftsman home in a great location. We were able to walk to restaurants and a great neighborhood market. The home worked well for our family. Beds were comfortable, the home was as-described. Clean and ready for us when we arrived. We didn’t get to use the hot tub and sauna but hope to on our next visit!"

Downtown Two Bedroom Craftsman Home- 2 Minute Walk to the Plaza

10/10 Excellent

"My family enjoyed our stay here. The best thing was the location right downtown so we could walk to everything. Other highlights were the front porch swing and the spaciousness of the house. The kitchen and bathroom were well equipped. It was clean. The only slight negative is that the house has very old creaky floors that are loud when you have someone walking around while others are sleeping. This wasn’t a big deal though and I would highly recommend this place."
