"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."
