Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn Arcata - Humboldt Area

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean, staff were pleasant and accommodating, location was good and breakfast was good as well. Overall well worth the money."

The Snoozzz Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay!! Very nice young ladies checked us in quickly and made sure our room was comfortable for us. Very clean bathroom (after hiking all day we didn’t keep it that way 😞) and amazingly comfortable bed!! We slept like a dream. My husband is ticky and he said it was his favorite stay thus far. Highly recommend!"

Hotel Arcata

8/10 Good

"It was how you would consider a historic hotel to be. It was charming, but old. The plumbing didn't drain that well and there was some road noise from traffic on the street, but it was clean, super cute and walkable to everything in the downtown area. There was no hotel parking, but they give you a pass for street parking and we never had an issue finding parking close by. Would definitely stay there again if we were in the Arcata area."

Best Western Plus Humboldt Bay Inn

10/10 Excellent

"One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at, and I've stayed at at least least 100 hotels. You can tell that the owner really cares, every little detail was noticed and appreciated. The oasis area was spectacular, the breakfast was wonderful, staff was fabulous! I wish all Best Western hotels were like this one in Eureka, I would never stay anywhere else!!!"

Emerald Forest Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"Adorable cabin set in a redwood forest. Cabin was clean and comfortable. It was chili in the room when I first arrived and I had to call the front desk about heat. The electric heater on the wall took a while to heat up the space. Directions on where and how to use the heater in the room binder would be helpful and having it turned on for check in would make initial comfort and experience more inviting. Beautiful property and overall a great stay!"
