Eureka Inn, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"The Eureka Inn an old hotel (104 years old).I feel like it hasn’t been kept up like it could or should have but my stay was good. The staff is very nice and helpful. The included breakfast was good. There was plenty of parking that was included with the cost of the room. The hotel was close to all the things we wanted to do in Eureka. We enjoyed the onsite bar too. I would stay there again."

Hotel Arcata

10/10 Excellent

"I was pleasantly surprised with the property and location. It is right on the Arcata plaza. It’s a very nice down town area with lots of shops and restaurants all in walking distance of the hotel. The hotel itself is charming and well kept. I felt very fortunate to have found the Hotel Arcata last minute at the start of the Labor Day weekend on my drive up the coast. The parking is free and easy. The breakfast is included and very simple. The room clean but a little noisy from the busy street below."
